Hey Lovelies!
So Steemit, Dtube and Dlive have all been kind of a trial-by-fire, tearing-my-hair-out, why-isn't-there-a-coherent-explanation-for-this-shit crash course!! And I have loved every second of it because it really feels like we are the pioneers having to figure everything out right now, and that makes me feel a sense of excitement!
That being said, some things still confuse me. I have been reading everything I can get my hands on as far as Smart Media Tokens are concerned, and I am nary the wiser about them. I have a basic comprehension of what they are and what they do, but I fail to see how this will ultimately fix a lot of the problems that ail Steemit. @Ned seems confident that they are going to fix the problems but I just don't see it! First, they seem to significantly benefit curators alone, but don't seem to do much for creators. How does making your own coin and giving it to your followers benefit a creator? For that matter, what determines how much Steem these coins are worth? Does anyone have any answers?
As I thumb through "explanation" after "explanation" of SMT's, I find myself on clickbaity posts absent of any real explanation. People seem to be excited about SMT's. People claim they will disrupt everything and pave the way for the future of Steemit, but no one can seem to explain how and why that will happen. So that's why I am running this contest.
I am going to give 5 SBD to the top one (or two) explanations of SMT's and how they are going to benefit Steemit and its users (and more specifically its creators vs its curators.) I don't need an explanation chock full of unexplainable concepts. Please try to KISS (Keep it simple, stupid. Haha.) Pretend like you are explaining it to a child...but try to keep the condescension to a minimum (I'm not a total imbecile, just a hopeless luddite, THERE'S A DIFFERENCE DAMNIT!)
I will read over all of the responses and announce the winner(s) on Saturday morning (on wee St. Paddy's Day. Hopefully I will be sober enough to put together a video. Jk, I don't drink in the morning, most days...#noshame)
Sooo give it your best shot in the comments below! Good luck!

(PS- For whatever reason, even after exporting multiple times, the end credit still said "title" rather than the name of my video today. I did my best but it just wouldn't work, so you'll just have to deal, haha!)
