Totally agree that it has the potential to be huge. Clear value proposition, good branding, and a marketing budget to get the word out.
I just don’t get how with such a massive effort and so much money spent over the last year that they were able to botch the launch announcement so bad. 😆
It does seem like they are going after shorter form, quick social media content like Facebook, insta and Twitter - which is where a lot of the daily usage is anyway. Smart of them.
Elephant in the room: they know that if they build a superior product all the early adopters will be Steemians regardless. Block One's announcement didn't exactly make waves through mainstream media. The way I look at it, the best way to get a head start on Voice is, as always, going to be more efficient grinding building one's platform here. I've signed up for Narrative, ONO, yadda yadda yadda (not actually a crypto social media platform but a plausible name) ... until one of them is a functional product with an ecosystem and infrastructure, I'm firmly planted here. Doesn't seem coincidental that all this emergent competition is happening as SMTs, gaming, video and audio aps all hit their stride on steem.
Competition is good!
