for the people who just want a social media network that they can blog on and earn crypto, Tron is actually probably a much better solution than Stinc. Tron has marketing and hype down, they are very good at that. That is what Steem and Stinc have never had really. The big losers are people who really cared about decentralization and censorship, and I don't know that for most people on the platform that honestly matters all that much. Of course the worrying thing is the "airdrop of new Steem token for existing Tron users" because it is hard to imagine that is going to lead to anything but a massive dump of the new steem token and loss of value.
That's bread and butter to me. I hope that I am not alone, or even in a small minority in that regard, given our present straits.
"...airdrop of new Steem token for existing Tron users..."
In terms of decentralization and censorship resistance, I see that as one of the most hopeful possible benefits this sale could bring. An airdrop of 70M Steem eliminates that massive concentration of stake that threatens to centralize control of the witnesses.
That's the thing that gives me the most hope this won't just turn Steem into an ordinary highly content constrained Fakebook clone.

I hope they are ready to take a hit in their price. How much of their token would they give to Steem users? :D
