Many people on crypto twitter didn’t mention steem or Steemit as well when discussing alternatives to YouTube. This shows the bad marketing, communication done so far. It is actually a shame that a platform with this potential and first mover advantage has such a low reputation.
STEEM had to be premined to avoid SEC regulations. The premining was documented very poorly because Steemit, Inc, wanted to keep the lions share of the premined coins to fund development. That created a lot of bad blood. Also, the first Steem users came from the crypto space that was and still is full of selfish maximizers.
Yep, I have been noticing that as well. In most cases steem has a higher market cap and/or a larger user base, yet rarely gets mentioned.
Been trying to get dappradar.com to list splinterlands for months now.
It'd be at the top of at least half of their lists, daily users etc, but they just ignore the whole chain.
