I think almost no one has fully realized its potential yet.

I agree. I think it needs to be backed by a much larger stake (by delegation, voting and/or running their own copy) in order to really show what it can accomplish. Unfortunately, that's beyond my reach, so I'm just hoping that awareness can be built slowly and steadily, until enough accounts with the right resources can either launch their own copy or provide backing to the test account.

It will also be helpful if some of the people it has discovered with inactive accounts come back and start noticing their mentions and rewards accumulation for older articles. I guess that will happen, eventually, but there's no telling how long it takes.
