I think in general this platform/community is in the process of needing to clarify its guiding principles. It has recently come out that what we thought were those of Steemit Inc. in fact never have been. See this from Luke if you don't know what I mean.

So are we foremost about paying content creators for their content? Or about being a platform rewards pool tokens can efficiently launch on? Or about being a blockchain social media site supported by advertising? Or about being censorship resistant social media? Or what? We've been having a bunch of parallel conversations because there are disconnected ideas of who we are even trying to be.
