It took me a long time to get the idea of the Steem blockchain too. It wasn't until all these different apps started up that it finally became clear to me what they were trying to do. A single "quality blogging" site is not going to appeal to everyone, just a certain group. The same goes for all the others dapps. Steemmonsters isn't my sort of thing, but lots of people love it. I don't really get the appeal of Steemhunt either, but it's doing well. I'm looking forward to the day that dTube becomes easier to upload to, but it's so problematic at the moment that some people can't use it.

I would suggest that maybe taskmaster isn't entirely wrong, however. Value is subjective. No-one will interact if they don't find something of value. The blockchain doesn't care what goes into it, but the one entering something onto it is doing so because at that moment they see some value from doing so. Even if it's just an experiment of entering a full stop and posting, to see what happens.
