Quillington, you know my stance on bbs and it is so painful to see the trending feed sometimes (well, all the time) but as others have alluded to in the comments section, steemit isn't steem. It's just one of the ways you can "tap in to the blockchain". But there's still a bigger issue outside all of this (Steem, eos etc).

The question is, the cryptocurrency blogging/content creation arena is so small, will getting the users of the steem blockchain and move to EOS make any difference to mass adoption of crypto in general? In a month? A year? 10 years? I doubt it.

“Using a portion of EOS' marketing budget, offer to Swap Steemians' SP, up to a maximum of 5,000 SP per MEOS account, for a period of 30 days following MEOS' launch, and based upon the EOS/STEEM exchange rate on June 1"

And then what? We have a smaller user base as 100% of users will not move over. Half might, or the majority might for a month or two but it involves starting everything from scratch, and then KYC type checks to get a blog profile? You don't have to do that with Facebook or Twitter, just 2fa and away you go.

And with Facebook launching its own coin in a couple of years time, can you honestly say this small fraction of the online world in steem and eos is going to compete with that?

I have barely touched narrative since that launched and whaleshares I hardly check because those sites aren't as developed for mobile as steem is. I've met all friends on steem and after our DM rants, I stuck around and glad I have.

It's the first blog platform I've used and there's some loyalty there, plus first mover advantage. There's more positives to think about despite the elephant in the room.
