There will be thousands of website using the steem blockchain. All different type of content will be created that won't be compatible with the blog style of Steemit.com. But all that content will show up regardless on the steemit.com website. If they all compete in only 1 bucket, there will be a war between content types. Which will kill development.
If you don't enable communities, all those new apps and front-end (as well as SMTs) are dead in the water.
Ohkk that makes sense, so is the community is based on the SMT level or it is from the website level. Like Busy, ChainBB, Utopian Communities, if it is from the website level then it makes sense because then the website owners and moderators will give permission on what to get posted and what not.
Communities will be able to have their own SMTs (or not). But SMTs will influence rankings(new/hot/trending) within the communities they are implemented in. (multiple communities may share the same SMT)
Yeah now getting a clearer picture of what is the roadmap ahead. Thanks for a great explanation.
My pleasure man.
