For company accounts, I envision that getting a lot of use from small companies & startups looking for a space to establish blogs for themselves, perhaps with their own corporate branding / logos / etc. Right now we see a lot of crypto projects in particular using Medium for their official blogs, and it's always been something of a mystery to me why they don't use Steemit (which seems like it would resonate well with their target audiences). Maybe this initiative would make Steemit look more attractive to such organizations.

Agreed and it that sense I believe it would be a brilliant addition to the platform.
Entrepreneurs could market themselves to their target demographic easily.
As long as we don't see the Big Oil, Big Pharma, Banks etc. We don't want predatory corporations ruining what is a unique platform.
Unfortunately I don't think there's any real way to keep those types of companies out, not if you want to remain true to Steemit's ideal of allowing anyone to use the platform as they see fit without fear of censorship. But large organizations like that probably won't pay any attention to Steemit until it reaches Facebook levels of popularity. So for now I don't think we've got anything to worry about, and by the time the platform is that mature there will be other concerns I'm sure.
Yes, I think there will be other concerns, besides I don't think there is anything that can be done, Big Company X buys a couple of million in Steem and boy would they have clout here, but hey, whales have that kind of power now only these companies would have more power, maybe I'd get rich upvoting their promotional articles.
Agreed, therefore I suggest vigilance to ensure that if larger corps partake they don't become powerful enough to set the narrative of how the platform evolves. Similar to how the advertisers are now driving YouTube censorship.
And yes once Steemit reaches Facebook levels I'm sure problems will ensue.
One day at a time, eh?
Yeh I'd hate for them to come in and ruin things, I think as we have so many here then any kind of activity that is not helping the Steemit community at it's core will probably get downflagged.
Wow @fyrstikken kudos! I just realized your account is worth over $1 mil. :) nice
