I understand only part of what you've said in your post, i.e. that SMTS is a way of building Steem. I think.
I am not of the generation of in-app purchases and nor am I a gamer. Perhaps that's why I don't get SMTs. I'm also unsure about communities and perhaps that's the salmon in me.
That said, @gadrian makes some interesting and valuable points. I would also suggest that if you did go that route, as with all projects, it'll require time and managing. I shall follow with interest as I'd really like to understand the concepts and the rationales behind both.
Good luck!
Hi Fiona!
If you are involved and understand tribes, you will understand SMTs + communities. They are similar, with some differences granted, but still, the jump from one to another should be pretty smooth.
I think I gotta understand the concepts and rationale behind my own thinking too heheheheheh
Hahahaha! @paula, I get you. Very interesting comments on this post. Some confirm my confusion / validate my skepticism.
I have to say @gadrian - I'm neither involved in, nor understand tribes...instinctively I stay away. I'm not a herd animal.
