I totally agree with the ecosystem part. That's why I'm very interested in SMTs and other services like DTube which actually became really good. DTube was a bare bones prototype project few months ago barely loading the videos and I was on sidelines wishing the team good luck. Now it's Almost as good as YouTube. I'm ok with 480p for the most part. I read their recent updates and DTube is growing really well. We could be seeing more YouTubers joining.
All I wish for is less scammers like Trevon and Craig who pump pyramid schemes and ponzi projects that get rich hurting and exploiting the trust of (Stupid) people.
