I have the same questions. Synereo hasn't even begun alpha, so anything "better" as an overall system is purely theoretical at this point.
And for someone who has made thousands and thousands of SD and SP - largely by praising Steemit and benefiting from other people's stories - it seems a bit odd to now throw the platform under the proverbial bus because of some misconception about decentralization and "user safety." Why the sudden change of heart in conjunction with powering down?
Yes, this platform has problems (compensating dana-edwards is apparently not one of them), but it's still in beta and it's an entirely new blockchain concept. Problems are expected and they won't be solved overnight. I don't understand most of the criticisms here. They seem misplaced.
I feel the same way about the Yours Network. They've both got some big hills to climb, Steemit being one of them. A LOT can happen in the next few months before they both go live
100%. And one of thos emight be the "true" social network and we might look back on Steemit, kindly, as a failed experiment. I have no clue nor do you, but saying a network that didn't even launched that solved something is wishful thinking...and misleading.
Constructive criticism is a good thing for Steemit. And Synereo is a legitimate alternative platform which content producers from Steemit will be on sooner or later so either work with the Synereo team or compete but they aren't going away.
Constructive criticism is a very good thing for Steemit. False and misleading headlines for a post containing misinformation about a competitor are definitely not.
exactly.
Well, if "exactly", then edit your FUD headline for this post.
