I like to think of STEEMIT and its entire Idea from the Crypto currency side to the distribution of funds to the content creators is all part of the new Decentralization Paradigm. It began with the Internet even taking advertising dollars and transaction fees away from their respective masters. Then came Google and they began the idea of returning Ad dollars to the "little guy." Then Facebook and now Instagram, where people with large followings, known as "Insta-Famous" can command $500 per picture/post or more. Again, Ad dollars trickling further down, and away from traditional media.
