Yeah LEO is more than content. It embodies all that crypto/blockchain claims to be so it's great to see them making moves.
The favouritism is by design on Hive because dapplr should really be better received by the "establishment of Hive" but instead they shunned it. @ecency is the 'pet mobile app' of the hive group but the development of that only started moving when dapplr showed how easy it was too develop a good mobile experience.
I haven't tried it though because I have goggl services disabled on my phone and they only offer it through the appstore. It does look good though and they're well received by users that utilise it.
It shows what communities can do here and the powerful thing is that they offered it for free. Coincidentally, ecency then removed their beneficiary clause from using their app shortly after dapplr released free. Funny that.
Anyway I'm not against making money.
My one main gripe with things here is that people don't seem to realise that users need to find this attractive, welcoming and sustaining. For years this project of "social with rewards" has just not done that. For the million plus that have come through the door, only a tenth of that remained and then a tenth of that could say they're well rewarded.
So second layer sure better be amazing or who's even going to care!
