And don't think that in the near future there is a chance for twitter to be killed. Twitter has a lot money and huge amount of users so competitors have a hard way to keep up.
Existing users of twitter won't move to another plattform where they have to get the same amount of followers as on twitter. The big problem is the big stars on twitter won't move elsewhere when there are not enough users on the plattform. And many people don't go another plattform when there are not the stars they want to follow.
Most users are just too lazy and forget scandals and problems with twitter very fast.
Most blockchains networks, like steem, are still not user friendly enough for the every-day user of twitter.
And a lot of users of steem don't talk about increasing the user friendlines of steem but only but their Return of Investment.
I think for newcomers steem looks quite strange with all the upvote bots who are big part of the comment section.
And last but not least, steem would need a good and easy to use mobile app for andorid and IOS. Most people use their smartphone for twitter and using steem on the phone is not so comfortable as using the twitter app.
Agreed. But steem is the base platform. Steemit.com is just one of the interfaces that you can use. There are many others now. In an years time you will start using the steem blockchain without even realising that you are using it, because the interface could be completely different.
