I suppose that depends entirely on how you think of Steem Monster activity.

Myself, I am hesitant to class it in with the rest of social media activity on the blockchain because it is only good and only really readable for Steem Monsters. Which is sort of the opposite of how I envision a digital application which can really grow a distributed database solution. From the perspective of someone who doesn't play and who only engages with the steem blockchain via the social media sides of things, it increases the traffic and the load on the servers that I use without providing me even incidental use or interest. From the perspective of someone like me, it's a pure cost.

Compare to one of the other major digital applications on the platform like a video solution which might not particularly carry a video that I want to see you right this moment but I could, at any time, just by going to look and it doesn't require that I play a specific game or get involved at a specific level.

At some point were probably going to have to create a new class of "filterable item" which involves digital applications which encrypt their data payload or otherwise create content which is not intended to involve user interaction outside the specific provenance of that singular application. Steem Monsters won't be the last to play around in that space.
