RE: Steem Blast: State of the Dapps
I still think it's a mistake to move away from Steemit. Steemit is known and used by a lot of people. You don't just throw that away. A lot of the Dapps ont he Steem blockchain are still relatively unknow. Best way to get them known is having a solid Steemit community.
Steemit.com is owned and operated by Steemit Inc and at some point soon-ish will likely be retired anyway. It is best for people who are here now to be part of the decentralization of the platform rather than continue relying on a company to provide. The changeover takes time, it won't be overnight anyway.
But WHY is it getting retired? Because they don't have the money to develop it. Pushing people to different dapps just fragments the community. At least that's how I think about the situation. I have watched several youtubers who were planning to do the SMT thing, but have now cancelled it because they have serious doubts about what's going.
Because it is not an overly great interface. It might evolve into something else or they give it to some devs to tweak for the better but they aren't going to keep it long term, especially since Ned has another interface in the pipeline.
Fragmenting the community is what has to happen for Steem to do what it was designed to do.
