The crypto-tied portion of it ruins the whole thing, it turns all the content creators into whores. Other than that it's basically a reddit clone.

Nah, it's better that content creators get paid, instead of chasing fake internet points while Google take all the profit. Crypto ain't perfect, but in these times with all the censorship and people getting banned from their banks it's a good thing to have alternative payment systems ready.

That sounds okay conceptually, but go use the platform. It fucking sucks, everyone is a an attention whore. It's all about mass appeal, it's like reddit circlejerking on crack.

I've seen it and I agree, it was created years ago and during that time it was mostly liberals, crypto anarchists and "influencers" chasing fake internet points who signed up. Kind of how Gab got many "nazis" signing up 4-5 years ago and was accused for being a nazi platform.

The user base is defined by the needs of the time, censorship back then wasn't as bad as it is today, and not always targeting patriots and conservatives. If steemit, or a platform based on the same tech where released today it would have at least 90% based patriots. There's no reason to not go decentralized.
