RE: SCORUM - Rewarding social network focused on Sport
Looks interesting to me. But after reading the white paper I still have no clue what this platform brings to the table, that already isn't out there?You have sports news pages for free, you have stats pages for free, maybe just the betting thing with their tokens is different, but the rest of it is basically Steemit just for Sports. They also say they will distribute 10 M tokens in the program reward system, what happens when they're all distributed, who's gonna put out content then? The authors would get paid for their contribution, but then again if the stats and news are just copied form other pages, which big companies are getting in real time, how can authors compete with that and what different kinda info about teams and sports would they be able to share?
I don't know maybe I'm missing the value here? Any thoughts?
Their chance for success is that Steemit sports community is weak. It is basically Steemit copy with better look and if they can attract sports fans to blog and comment there, they will be successful.
I get that...my issue is how will you rate the articles with $, when all of them will just be copies of already existing articles from other websites. Why bother only concentrating on sports with a new platform, when you have an already established one for everything. I'm a sports/betting writer and it makes much more sense for me to stay here, where I can actively participate in other debates and read everything from science to music. Why reinvent the wheel? And are the sport section article writers really that active, that they would need their own platform?
