I'm fairly optimistic about Leo not just because crypto blogging is relevant but because the leaders and developers of Leo have demonstrated serious drive.
I agree on the lack of business sense here. I've been trying to get people to vote on the new active witnesses outside of the top 20. Perhaps it's a design flaw to DPoS that the top tends to become entrenched, which kills all dynamism.
Speaking of mobile apps, have you tried Dapplr? I haven't because it's still not availabe for iPhones.
