RE: My Thought's on Voice - Will it be a Major Competitor for Steem Anytime Soon?

in #dtube5 years ago (edited)

I see a lot of people bashing voice... in my opinion, voice will be huge as block.one said they will back it up with hundreds of millions dollars in marketing.

I also see voice as different than steemit currently. More people want a mobile social media blockchain product like Instagram/twitter and they are positioning themselves perfectly.

I will be using both 🤑

I second this ^^

its actually great when you see larger projects go up against the bigger players. lets hope it does gain the mass adoption ...

Agreed! Mass adoption for Voice would mean greater exposure for blockchain in general and blockchain based social media dapps specifically. The launch last week definitely left something to be desired - but with their budget and large team I have a lot of hope that they'll pull something great off.

Totally agree that it has the potential to be huge. Clear value proposition, good branding, and a marketing budget to get the word out.

I just don’t get how with such a massive effort and so much money spent over the last year that they were able to botch the launch announcement so bad. 😆

It does seem like they are going after shorter form, quick social media content like Facebook, insta and Twitter - which is where a lot of the daily usage is anyway. Smart of them.

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!
