The only problem that newcommers are going to have is the RC... With the starter sp (15steem) post have a prohibitive cost. Trust me. Ill withdrawn my account a few months ago, left only 15sp. Ill return and a week later HF20 comes, it was a nightmare. 

The new commers cant afford not earning SP first... With 20sp u can do a post max x day... And not long comments. And if you manage enough RC to post its impossible to answer the comments to interact with your viewers...

Thanks for your all your advices i read you a lot!

till now we don't have something that great as to call it a blogger's Dapp besides Steemit ofc, but you get what i mean.  I don't think that Dapps completely crush bloggers-vloggers but the way they headed (*the existing and working ones*) will eventually lead to an extent in that.

I made a huge ass comment in exyle's post regarding that but i will try to be more quick here. A person that gets into Steemit and just likes blogging or an existing blogger will very soon realize that there is huge inactivity in this platform and mostly everything happens automatic. Even if he tries to make new friends and interact with others, chances are that he won't get many loyal followers back or it will take a long long long time.

At the same time he can simply join a community based on the country-ethnicity he is too and later on discover more specific ones. That way he will earn more rewards and at least interact with some people. 

Now most of the Dapps in here, have a lot of SP so they can easier use marketing better to attract more people. (add the tokens to that). The majority of the users care about the money, either it's their first priority or simply "at the back of their head", nobody has completely erased it, cause it's the n1 reason they got into steemit, in the first place.

Now when you have an extremely inactive % of accounts, another extremely automatic % of accounts that user autovoting and stuff and don't actually comment and read the posts and at the same time Dapps that make everything easier what a normal person will do?

If a blogger that posts something it took more than 1 hour and earns 1-3$, most of them by autovoting and from people in the community it belongs and at the same time watching others upload post about products that take 10-20-30 minutes and get rewarded for that both by the autovoting accounts, the Dapp itself and by also taking some tokens what will he choose? 

A couple of minutes later he will see another post regarding how many steps that person took today (which nobody cares not even the person) and again rewarded for that, or uploads a picture of his food,cat,toilet via the dapp you mentioned in your post and get some rewards won't he be tempted to try it out too?

i wanted to write more but i will close it here. i wasn't  quick like i said i intended :P Note also that i am not against the Dapps, it's part of the evolution, i am just sharing some thoughts that i think tend to follow the reality more.

The only way for newer members or for members with low SP to make a living is if people with high SP start voting for content, not using bots. If you look at the accounts that get decent payouts, most of the votes are coming from a very limited group of people who constantly vote for the same people, no one leaves their inner circle. SMT's are still a plan, we don't really know what impact this will have, hopefully it will work out OK as you envision.

Do you think segmentation of these DApps will become more of an issue with posts into DLike and others bleeding into the blogging platform?  In contrast, if I play Steem Monsters I'm not generating a bunch of spam into my feed, it seems to be well segmented.  Cross-posting between it and Steemit is voluntary.

I also think that with more integration coming from Steempress with Wordpress, the blogging community will continue to be open to the millions of blogger on centralized platforms.  This will become a source of continuing content creation which is what STEEM I think is all about.  Whether we engage via DApps or these gateways while continue to expand the ecosystem.  As Hivemind comes to be, we will be able to see communities focus on deliveries which will provides alternatives ways to also consume the content.

Thanks for sharing exyle's work, I haven't heard of him before.
