Maybe so, but I'm not too concerned with those guys. For me, this system is already revolutionary in decentralizing media while also incentivizing its honest production, with content verification happening almost immediately through potentially hundreds if not thousands of eyes. Imagine what this could mean for whistleblowers, journalists, or even local artists! These people could perform their craft and be fairly compensated for it, for the first time in a long time.
Steemit still excites me, it just needs some reshuffling to make it useful again.
