You're exactly right. @claudiop63 made a comment about another vote-to-bet game that I had flagged for vote buying (some time ago). The experience of steemsports tells us that this is an evolving platform. Many of us are strongly in favor of experimentation and being open to new directions. I don't particularly care if this turns out to be a blogging platform, a social network, a betting site, a porn site, or some or all of the above. Whatever works to drive enthusiasm and attract, retain and grow a user base is fine with me..The technology itself can continue to evolve and usage of it can also certainly continue to evolve. There is no need to and no particular benefit from getting stuck in one particular model before any significant success has been achieved with it. (This includes Steemsports, maybe that model will turn out to be a dead end as well. I don't know, and I doubt anyone else does either.)
But when? The community is changing more and more every day.

Give it another shot, best of luck! :)
