Thanks for weighing in! I personally believe that Steemit/related Steem DApps can be revolutionary, but I also believe that SMTs will be necessary for it to grow exponentially. I think SMTs, if released in a timely fashion, could box their way into a specific market share/use case that would attract businesses aiming to incentivize users through a token and with Steem as the base currency, Steem price would skyrocket.

I do agree that they need to improve the website and that could allow for users to come and stay, especially if it can become more of a social media instead of a social blogging platform.

I think EOS is huge competition for them, though.
