I don't think Narrative stands a chance either. From what I read, it's the "Founders" (aka. Whales) who will buy in with enough cash to get control of the "Niches" and appoint their own "Moderators". That will be a highly restrictive and kiss-up-to-the-founders type of environment I would never want to be part of personally.

And we've got SMTs coming. Nobody needs to move to Narrative. There will be plenty of opportunities opened up to everyone here to earn more rewards through the variety of web properties that distribute their own SMTs.

Exciting times ahead for Steem. Narrative? Meh.

Maybe you're right, we will see.What is SMTs?

Well, that's hard to say what will happen,my oppinion is that somehow Steemit and Narrative may be compete,and both side will have theyr supporters, they will have they'r own development ways,but at this moment we are more far then Narrative in therms of development and community, about your second question - full info about SMT's is here: https://smt.steem.io/

Thanks 😁

Glad to help :)

In practice steemit might not be all that different as steemit allows you to do the same thing in a slightly more roundabout way. Narrative will have some initial support from the Neo community and with limited projects on the Neo platform it will get a fair bit of visibility.
Competition is generally a good thing though and I think steemit might ultimately benefit from it.
