"One thing that I have been noticing is how much an interface can influence the way I interact with the content on the STEEM blockchain.
For example, when I am on steemit.com, I scroll and find a whole bunch of random posts...some that I am interested in and some that I'm not. Someday, I cannot find anything that grabs my attention. But it's always a fun process." <--THIS
I come by completely different content when I'm using chainBB versus steemit.com, and I personally need both options to keep me interested in the chain as a whole.
The interface on chainBB is just the deeper end of the shoreline for me, while steemit.com are the waves I go surfing in when I'm not looking for anything in particular. And both have served me equally well, so far, in finding new waters I want to play in.
