Does Steemit have any healthy competitor yet?
In the last few months lots of platforms have emerged, with the same concept that Steemit brought to the blockchain 3 years back.
Sincerely I expect Steemit to already have some healthy competition. As of now, more flexible and user friendly platforms enabling social media users without prior knowledge of the blockchain earn from their ability to socialize, but from the look of things, the majority of the on-boarding platforms seem to be no more than clones of Steemit.
I read about akasha.world some months back; a decentralized social network built on the blockchain; but guess which chain??
The Ethereum blockchain of Vitalik Buterin. The founder of ETH is an advisor of Akasha, and it rewards in Ethereum. The given votes are run with micro transactions on the ETH blockchain, mining with your mind. Not to be overly critical, but we all know the Ethereum network is congested.
Akasha is still in beta testing; lets see what they have to offer: beta.akasha.world - you can check it out and tell me what you think.
I also discovered another platform on the NEO blockchain, narrative.network; this is also a decentralized reward based platform, but here you get rewarded in either crypto or traditional currencies.
And I assume we are all aware of the first blogging dapp on EOS blockchain, the ONO dapp.
The likes of weku.io, u.network, Golos, Whaleshares, Scorum?
What do you think??
How far do think they can run, and how well is Steemit doing in your opinion?!
Cheers!

The Joys of an Herb Garden at Home

FYI
I have updated this first chapter to include new details of LED lighting. My original book was from the days of Metal Halide lamps; we now have hi-tech LED lamps that take less than half the power ;-)
I'll soon launch a book in Curing Cancer with Marijuana, so if anyone has any tips on making Hash Oil, or how to administer to cancer patients, I'd love to hear from you!

Thanks for sharing this post sir... sir please my blog follow me
Wow so many replies already. Am sure someone has already stated my point but I am not too wprried about competition to steemit because the platform keeps evolving and trying to improve everyday.
If you are including dtube also .. Steem is looking good and leading the pack .. Add on the ideas being floated in the steem comunity like adding a wikapedia type thing to it ..it has endless posibility
I think steemit still has advantage for being the first with the fact that so many people have already grown a reputation they will not like to abandon.
sm1 like me do no like muti-tasking too much...so not everyone will want to move to give other sites a try.
i think steemit should make use of the advantage it has now to stay in the front page.
The other competitors onboard are not strong enough. Most bounty programs dont even recognise them
So many Steem carbon copy platforms existing but I feel it's similar to the case of bitcoin, no other Crypto has been able to surpass bitcoin thus none of these platforms will surpass Steem!

Steemit is great due to its high rules and policies.
I think no one is looking to compete steemit.
They are, more than you can ever imange..
Ono isn't a dapp on EOS but its own EOSIO blockchain and all of the dapps will integrate into the Ono social media platform.
Steem has a mighty lead as you suggest and a little healthy competition never hurt anyone.

@surfyogi, No matter what it is, we have to be happy that Steemit have set standards for other platforms and they want to give the tough challenge but we have to understand one aspect and that is no matter how much that platform is look alike something will going to stand as different.
Steem Economy hold the SMT Concept which makes this platform more unique and more futuristic. And Steem Economy is expanded globally with practical and strong communities for sure which will going to prove an strong point in future.
But, in my opinion cloning aspect is really unfortunate because, we should come up with unique essence and that is really important to develop the Decentralised Economy because we need to see the growth of Decentralised Economy because in that way we can see that people will going to have the Financial Control.
Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂
I think competition is a good thing for end users and motivates innovation. I have signed up on scorum, however didn’t get a chance to use it yet. Those who are using are speaking highly of it.
