> Content discovery. . .

I hear this one a lot. It’s gotten so bad for tags like gaming if people are not using a dapp that has a filter or a third party site to sift through stuff.  They are going give up trying wade through all the spam of battle reports, high game scores, and matches are starting soon posts among other things. 

> mainstream social network

The biggest issue I see that mainstream has nailed down is metrics on how content is performing.  You don’t even get a view count here unless you are using a dapp that has it and then it’s only for that app. A large amount of votes are auto or trails or bought so that not a big indicator either. 

If I contact a company wanting to do a review on their product I have no real numbers to give them if I’m using my Steemit links. Also as you pointed out its far too complex to start explaining. Even more so to non-crypto business people who don’t have all day and need to make a quick decision. 

> Which can host various different types of social networks

I don’t know too much about [Snax](https://snax.one/roadmap) (link to their websites roadmap) but they are looking to tokenize across many different platforms: steemit, twitter, reddit, youtube and so on.

Seeing the STEEM Blockchain through the perspective of one dApp seems so limiting from one who claims a long history with STEEM. Perhaps my short [STEEM vision](https://steemit.com/steemvision/@novacadian/my-steem-vision) will broaden your on-chain horizons. 😎

I see you are still here throwing truth bombs. :) 
Good to see you are still around, even though i might not agree with everything you wrote. hehe

Spot on mainly - a social media platform will never be a mainstream success on a blockchain at least not when a reward pool is involved. It is simply not working, so unlink the reward pool from the social media posting stuff that gets rewards for posting shit here. The blockchain will benefit from good Apps or DApps moving forward -focus on them and the prize might go into a better direction.
