Communities that are not whale backed or tribe backed are always going to take the lions share people gravitate to the rewards in HIVE or tokens
I think this is why I like SMTs idea it will give each community the ability to compete for readers, members and authors and that's going to make things far now interesting
I mean honestly is anyone subscribing to gems to read anything there? I know I don't it's a lot of trash lol
your assessment is totally correct buddy that's why I feel the SMTs coming will be really feasible in placing growth stats for the communities really and probably not because they're whales backed.
