Hi,
well, I feel the flag incoming from @stayoutoftherz, as he did not understand that this post are to be seen as criticism to the Steem population and the sheriffs around.
So, today I've read that a Steem competitor pulled the curtains today. I will not mention the name as it is not worthy.
What I want to know if there are any other competitors on the market? Do you know any?
Can medium be named a competitor to Steem? If yes, they are on top, definitely.
I feel that Steem is not going into the right direction, but is there any real competition? This is the question. Without any real competition, Steem can't evolve and grow right.
There is also whaleshares worth of mention, but it seems that they are still behind Steem, so not a proper competition, more to be seen as a Steem clone.
The are no real influencers on Steem. Steem got my attention because of Neil Strauss, which is not posting anymore. That guy was a diamond for this chain, a diamond which we did not manage to take advantage properly.
We have now some guys on trending that promote games on other blockchains, but claim to be the saviors of Steem. I call this hypocrisy.
So if you know any competitor, please let me know, not to betray Steem, but to raise awareness in here that one day someone is going to deliver some better option.
Thank you.
