I totally agree with you.
Nevertheless I tested Weku for example and even made a post about it here.
I think I give it kind of fair review and it is what it is, just a shameless steem clone. But it does not hurt to test out other options.
Maybe we end up learning something how we can make steemit better from another social network on a chain.
But shittalking steem while promoting another chain is just not a classy act and ( looking at you dlive).
