Reading the 2017 Plan, Reddit was specifically mentioned in there along with the communities concept.

It does appear the steemit development team is not looking at FB but Reddit and taking dead aim at it.

Ultimately, with a couple hundred million users and no real ecosystem moat, it makes sense to go after that market. There really isnt much to make Reddit unique and, hence, is vulnerable to people leaving.
