I have been using the tag and UI/front end since about 3 days after it was released, while there may be some teething issues (as with anything new), it is working as intended and tokens are being distributed and earned.

If you jump onto https://steem-engine.com you can check the tokens value if thats the draw for you. For me its about interaction, the tokens are just a bonus/ byproduct.

So from my end its worth using and hopefully it continues to refine interactivity of the community and helps us get to what we are all trying to achieve... a balanced platform that values the community which creates it :)

Even if you are uncertain of it... what is the sacrifice ? one tag, well worth the risk right ? lolz
