This was extremely useful information. I had been very curious about what the competition was, but only knew light details, this changed that. I already have decided, but this has reassured my decision that Steemit is the correct model. Using crypto that comes straight from the reader is incentivizing only to the authors really, and curation doesn't seem to feature as it should.
This really should have gotten more love, it's relevant, current, well laid out and explained and therefore valuable to me. Thanks!
