Thank you for posting this.
As a new user I wouldn't have found the first post, you included. I registered because I thought that this would be a free form of communication, backended by the security of a Blockchain.
I first wondered, what has Steemit Inc. todo anymore. I thought it would be like the Ethereum Foundation.
Now this post made me thining and I started to read more and more. Now I'm thinking, that Steemit isn't really that what I wanted to sign up for. Partially because I didn't inform myself enough, partially because all this information are pretty good hidden.
