I couldn’t agree more about Partiko. It’s the main reason why I don’t use their app. 

Yet, I would be open to pay a (minimal) fee not to have that link. I do understand the growth hack it is, it’s part of every Growthhacking 101 post or book.

Thank you for bringing this up! Partiko users current have the option to remove that, and they can do that by editing their comments.

We do have a plan to provide the option to remove the signature by default, and that needs to be executed well because many users still love it for two reasons:

- It easily shows that the comment is from a real person.
- It makes it easy for users to identify the Partiko community.

We will keep you updated on this via @partiko, and thank you again for your attention!

I’m not entirely sure why but this is to me always one of the most enjoyable comments I receive.

It’s growing quite fast even now

I don’t care that much about seeing the link itself. It’s more about a decent UX allowing users not to constantly have the link. And the team has always been vocal in reply that they will soon(ish) offer an option to do without that link. That’s good enough for me. 

Addendum: I didn’t care too much about the link but the more I think about the “It makes it easy for users to identify the Partiko community” argument the less I like it. 

Looks like dual citizenship promotion. While we are on an open blockchain with central accounts. I’m not sure how I feel about that psychology, tbh.

It’s a reference to Evernote, which was IIRC first coined as “everything bucket” by Gruber (DaringFireball).
**Correction:** It was [Alex Payne](https://al3x.net/posts/2009/01/31/against-everything-buckets.html), not Jon Gruber.

I’m not too happy with it but I decided to go with it because the landscape is changing and not always will dApps try to also optimize their submission for ‘general interfaces’ display. Currently dApps like Steemhunt and Actifit still do that but the feed may soon change. And the feed will not be *nifty* then, at which point I think the reference to “Evernote the everything bucket” applies. Calling it “nifty” feels so talking to a Millennial audience. It will be horror unless the “multipurpose interfaces” come up with app based filters.

I wonder how much innovation it would/could stimulate if both Partiko and SteemPeak would also benefit 500k SP delegation. @ned?

@SteemPeak may not yet have the userbase for it but adopting a similar rewards strategy as busy (FOSS FTW!) would definitely boost its adoption and lead to even more releases. @Partiko could work with its leaderboard and @Steem-UA to avoid it would become a total quantity game for rewards.

Busy does not take beneficiary. They get curation rewards from all their upvotes. 

This post was posted through busy and it has [no beneficiary per Steemd.com](https://steemd.com/steem/@fknmayhem/the-spectacular-rise-of-steemit-alt-interfaces-partiko-and-steempeak).

It is difficult to prove that the move away is a move to both other options, but anybody who has ever contributed in a comment thread via Busy on mobile is definitely happy having more options now. And there is a visible marketshare drop for both busy and esteem. So I think we can safely connect those dots.

Partiko doesn’t take a beneficiary either.

> You did that double

Thanks for that.

The WordPress plugin should post the complete post. I didn’t notice any option that it would post only an excerpt. That’s an interesting point though... there is no doubt that some large(r) scale media properties will publish their excerpts on Steem to get additional views.

I genuinely think that the WordPress plugin will vastly contribute to the growth of Steem but it will depend on the team’s biz decisions when they start marketing it. The selection of bloggers/publishers they will first invite will be of utmost importance because they will need to understand profile building. On yet another network.

As a former publisher of a medium-sized indie blog network I am not entirely convinced it will lead to investment though. And when, I would only invest because the investment could be used to offset a (small) part of wages.

While SteemPress still needs a lot of work, Steemians need to understand that the Steem blockchain an open internet of infrastructure is and that at some point... well this ain’t 2005 blogging anymore. The scope needs to be broader than the internal scope and writing most is now. If given the opportunity I bet ‘blogring ribbons’ would be absolutely popular and all over Steem. Some footers definitely validated that.

But we will only attract if we actually write as if it weren’t for Steem. SteemPress is working at opening that up. Keep an eye on them. ;)

To be honest... expect always more platforms doing that. It is a valid growthhack to draw attention to their platform.

And ona decentralized blockchain, which aims to power hundreds, thousands of dApps everyone will vie to attract users from that same “common userbase” which is one of the main assets the Steem blockchain has for appbuilders.

The smartest platforms will listen to their own communities and decide on whether they strip those “billboards” out or not. But end of the day the goal of all will be to grow their userbase and that requires first attracting attention to it.

I only wish the Partiko reasoning would be more honest and less fake in it. Both reasons provided are wrong.
