What exactly do you think AMP is trying to solve? All I see it is solving is the empty pockets of admins. They are now full of poor investors BTC (BCH, BTG and other forks)
Exactly my point. They didn't solve anything useful.
Decentralization and censorship resistance are definitely needed for any of the crypto video/media platforms to be a success. I've heard Steemit is not decentralized and i don't hear much about them trying to head in that direction. I do not know much about Lbry.io and alexandria.io and how centralized they are. I do think all three are not censored...but if they are centralized in certain ways this could lead to censorship. Synereo clearly states in the road map that they plan on making the platform decentralized. Steem is really the only competition for Synereo..possibly LBRY.io. I have used them all and the user experience with Wildspark.me is like night and day when compared to the others. If there is a better project out there please let me know.
I don't care if it is AMP or Steemit or whatever project ... if they are centralized than they are all garbage. I used to have a Steemit account and made some money out of it. But I sold off all my Steem because I don't believe in that project in its current form. Why price is so high, I don't know but for me it has no value proposition in its current form either. BUT, there is 1 difference with Synereo. Steemit was built very fast. The team actually delivered in a very short amount of time. 2 years ago Steemit was much more elaborated than WildSpark is today. And Synereo started its project years before Steemit. So from that perspective Synereo's progression has been a true embarassment. I know, these words are hard, but they also reflect reality.
