I don't see it that way.

No matter what, with centralized platforms, the companies owns the content and can do what ever they want with the content. On blockchains, the idea is that the individual owns the content and can do what ever they want with it. That's a huge difference, that I think we can agree on?

Steemit Inc have some legal setup that I am personally not a fan of, since I think, you cannot have both a blockchain and a company in the "old system" operating at the same time. At least it is contra intuitive.
