Yep....

*other than the "potential" increase in the value of STEEM

It’s not a negative; just business…

Steemit will not survive without generating new revenue. Eventually, investors will want to know what return they’re getting for their ‘support’.

It’s just reality in the world of capitalism.

CEO couldn’t come right out and say, “Lookey, here…enjoying your blogs and everything; but, I gotta find a money-generating means to fund this feel-good site.”

Peace.
