__I'm always like to promote rejects that empower individuals to do good and mind their own business. We even had the CEO of "still loosing money" Twitter openly admit the left leaning bias of their platform. I'm not against a private company having a bias. That's their right. They can live and ruin their lives by their own philosophy and we can (and should) stand on our own. That's why I talked about [dWeb Protocol](https://steemhunt.com/@vimukthi/dweb-protocol-the-fully-decentralized-internet-from-jared-rice-arisebank) and @urbangladiator followed it up with [dStatus](https://steemhunt.com/@urbangladiator/dstatus-social-networking-without-censorship)__

# Today I'm Talking About [Narrative (NERV)](https://alpha.narrative.org/wait-list?r=2MQvUtH1As)

__They only have about 6000 members opposed to STEEM that is closing in on 1.2 million and they are still on their Alpha. You are going to be one of the earliest adopters.__

## Niches and Brands
__Unlike being a Specialized Smart Contract Platform  like STEEM, Narrative is trying to be more like a centralized version of a Facebook meets Reddit and take a 15% cut of rewards.__

__There is a heavy emphasis on decentralized moderation. So the platform will be less like STEEM and somewhat closer to an SMT like @steemhunt__

# Reward Distribution

__I still prefer the simple elegance and the SMT system of STEEM over this. But the Niche owning and moderating could be a good extra income. The overall project will have less of a wild west anarchy feel which is bit of a negative for me. But it's good to have alternatives.__

# Scaling and Editing Content

# They Have Ads and You Are Getting a Cut
__Narrative is a lot like Facebook and Reddit had a baby and the company decided to only get a 15% cut and let the community take care of itself.__

# Token Supply
__There are 100 million tokens out there and another 97.5 million will be printed over the course of 30 years.__

# I Read The Whitepaper and Here is What I Think
__You should always dig for the truth and not rely on simple authority. People are still believing that it would be Bitcoin that would change the world because that is the main narrative. You can read the 60 pages here: https://www.narrative.org/assets/documents/narrative-network.pdf and form your opinion. Mine is that Narrative is a second rate STEEM that is worthy of being an early adopter of.__

__The governance system is fairly decentralized. But the blockchain immutability of STEEM is lacking in Narrative. The chance of ad revenue and Niche ownership are great plus points. Using NEO and not being 100% on blockchain is a serious negative.__

__Except for GOLOS (Russian) and YOYOW (Mostly Chinese), this is the best decentralized censorship resistance STEEM alternative I've seen. Beta is supposed to come out before the end of the year. If you want early access to owning Niches and explore the platform [click here to reserve a spot.](https://alpha.narrative.org/wait-list?r=2MQvUtH1As) You'll hav to wait for few days to get accepted in.__

## Good Luck!
