How much of it have you tried? The voting makes sense to me although I don't think you earn any curation for voting. The earnings seem even more confusing than Steem though since you have to trade your Trybe tokens for EOS and I don't even have an EOS account.
Trybe seems totally functional to me and I think it functions like the Resource credits thing or whatever that is supposed to be coming to Steem.
Overall I do like the Steem setup better but some people who hate our trending page might like Trybe better.
