I couldn't find anything to disagree with in your video...not that I was looking. I've said basically the same thing in other places around Steemit or in chats/private discussions, particularly about delegating nearly 4 million SP to what will ultimately remain a very niche market (open source development) while ignoring other projects with much more widespread appeal that can actually integrate with Steem/Steemit very well (such as sports or music).
As usual, you have a firm grasp of what happens around here and what is actually needed - and you're not afraid to tell it like it is. In real life, I think we would be good friends!
Anyway, regarding content that you actually do like and would like to see more of...I'm going to be working on something that I think you might be able to get behind. It's sports-related, of course. And on that note - do you use Steemit.chat?
Appreciate that. Glad we're on the same page.
Sure, I'm definitely interested in anything sport-related. I use the same handle on steemit.chat, nanzo-scoop.
@ats-david You lack the understanding of what an Open Source project is to call it a niche.
The big part of the softwares you use in your daily life are Open Source and many more will be Open Source. On top of that working on a niche is always advisable when heading to a huge market where the giants already own everything. Utopian does not exist anywhere else. It is a new concept targeting a huge niche and you should rethink your feedback about it, before the project itself will show you how wrong you are ;)
@elear Thank you for trying to get more people to learn about open source and how much of the web we all use depends on it. Wordpress is one of my favorite examples:
Firefox, a huge number of Google projects (including Tensor Flow), and frameworks like Vue.js, Angular, and React that power everything from Facebook to Steemit/condenser, and countless other apps... all open source.
You lack the understanding of the words I use and the numbers you're sharing here.
By definition, open source coders are a niche market. Based on actual social media interest, open source coding blogs and information is an extremely niche market. Your 3 million users pale in comparison to the billion+ on Facebook, and the hundreds of millions on other popular sites/apps.
Maybe you're taking things a little too personally?
Cool project bro. I hope it succeeds. My opinions on delegation for it haven't changed though. There is much more widespread appeal for other topics of interest.
Perhaps users and investors around here need to decide on what type of future the blockchain has...whether it wants to focus on niche/exclusivity or mass adoption. Either one is fine, but the blockchain protocols need to better reflect that vision so that users/investors can align themselves properly.
Man I am not taking it personally and actually I was trying to be funny @ats-david. It didn't work.
I agree with you if you compare it with generic social media platforms. The problem is that to compete with such markets you need to have the big balls that not even the entire Steem all together has. What I mean is, there is much more possibility for a niche project to succeed outside of this platform than for generic ones, simply because there is much less competition. I would focus completely on niche projects and maybe from there start thinking about trying to beat the giants.
