As I was saying to @thecryptofiend earlier; It is not often that I commit to something, but when I do, I make sure to follow it through. This will happen.
The only thing yet to be ascertained is whether there will be reistance. I feel that there are plenty who stand to lose from the creation of this guild, but I just hope that they are able to remember why they got into curating in the first place and see this is a good thing and get on board with it too.
It will benefit them a lot more if it results in a better steemit, with more users, and a much higher value of their holdings.
It falls on us to ensure that we create is indisputably better. If it is, then no one will have any excuse to continue doing something that is worse under the pretense of achieving the same goal.
