I'm a believer Ethereum and Steem are different beasts. I think one aspect people are not considering is the growth effect and relation to SEO. If Steem can provide strong SEO to it's articles then more people would be incentivized to invest in Steem so more than just the community sees the articles.

I would like to see more technical improvements to Steemit to attract more people. I know this business minded approach isn't as popular as this isn't a corporate site but service providers whose businesses are built on relationships could benefit greatly from Steemit.
