Very interesting @exyle. How you describe you potential experience on Dlive is how a lot of us who joined more recently feel on Steemit. Not the we are overwhelmed by account numbers but by account power.Either way the end result is the same. The one's already "powerful" get to get more.
I'm more interested in what will happen with the SMTs that create something completely new where there aren't any established people to come over to it.
What will it be like if everyone really is starting at 0. But is that even possible I wonder?
