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!
