Steemit was a good platform but some greedy whales destroyed it by introducing the voting bots. I hope this doesn't happen in this platform that you are talking about.
Yes Steemit was a very good concept but it's gone because of these cheatings and I'm suspect it will collapse if no change like ban of the idiots is done. Users will scratch them the back and leave. Another interesting platform is Foresting but not live yet.
