I think "1 more nail into the coffin of Steemit" is a bit much, Steem (the blockchain) is going to strength to strength. The future remains unclear of course, but I would hardly be calling the death, let alone burial of Steem. It's especially rich given where you're posting!
That said, I don't disagree with posting about other rival blockchains and other interesting social technologies here like some do. The only reason why we're on Steem is because it works (mostly) and there's faith in it's value, in every interpretation of that sentiment.
The evergreen content issue is real though. I think it's just a "feature" at this point, I don't think it'll change. But a gripe for sure.
Hi @personz, Thanks for the detailed response. The problem you have highlighted here is the constant confusion between Steem and Steemit.
I have absolute faith in the Steem blockchain, its abilities and growth are very clear. But Steemit is a completely different kettle of fish. Steemit being the ecosystem that we are currently in, runs on the Steem chain.
The growth and survival of Steemit is a completely seperate issue to the growth and survival of Steem.
Thanks agai for taking the time to reply.
Very true, I true to be aware of that too, I assumed you were not, that was my mistake.
Given what you say I still hold my position. Steemit as a blogging platform (if that's what you mean?) is not by any stretch dead either.
I do agree, and I seriously do hope thats the case. I'd hate to see Steemit become the Myspace of crypto blogs.
I think the next 12-18months is going to reveal a lot and there will only be 1 major winner, that winner may not even be made yet, but there will be an Alpha site, then niche sites.
