Great article. steemit.com really is like an albatross around steem's neck. the quicker we make this transition the better. Steemit.com just started without announcement using 640px photos for all their posts (see https://steempeak.com/steemit/@jpphotography/did-steemit-inc-just-destroy-all-our-images) . This has to be the straw that breaks the camels back. It is like going back to 1990s. Even Instagram uses 1080px as a minimum for phone screens let alone desktop. For the moment steemitimages have not deleted the original images ; so it seems the other interfaces like steempeak can still reference them at higher resolutions .
