Well I'll tell you that anyone from those two fields that does research will not put money into this. Not the way it is. There's nowhere near the toolset to build anything robust. That's not guessing that's truth.

Splinterlands and Leofinance have a solid product to attract community growth. They in fact would likely be doing better without depending on Hive.

Nearly every other project depends heavily on emotional sentiment. On how much the 'ALREADY HERE USER' wants it to succeed. On how much that 'already here community' is committed to supporting it. If that exists, like for the NFTshowroom, there's likely ability to proceed, grow and succeed.

Other projects like Quello though, die almost instantly because their product is really just mirroring an external product BUT NOT attracting external users. Just giving that which is out there, to the very few which is in here.

No business mind would think "ok I want to succeed by creating an already niche product, to an even smaller niche network".

You succeed by opening up a niche to the broader public, to then eventually not be a niche. Which is actually the 'startup story' of so many now mainstream successful businesses.
