Let's put it this way, Ned is a CEO and the Steemit INC people have chosen @andrarchy and the other guy to do marketing. This is a centralized approach. A true DAO would not allow certain individuals to decide who to hire. Instead, the 4000 masternode owners would decide who to hire to do marketing. Steemit Inc. is a centralized operation with a CEO controlling the direction. It has elements of decentralization, with daily votes for posts, but the direction of Steemit is centrally controlled. It would be wise if certain people stepped down and replaced it with a real DAO.

Steemit Inc hired andrarchy. Steem didn't. Steem payed for steemdrive, for example. The existance of a regular company doesn't preclude the existence of a DAO.
sure. I suppose people get confused because they think that steemit is decentralized, which it clearly is not. It's a centralized company existing on top of a blockchain..............There are clear ways to organize Steemit in a more decentralized fashion, which I don't see happening. First of all, the community should have been polled to find out who has helped the steemit community the most as far as communication. The community should decide who is the community manager. The hive knows best. Instead, a centralized decision was made, which does not reflect the community's wishes. This is the main problem with centralization. It relies too heavily on the biases, judgment and fantasies of one small-minded individual.
If your "flagship product" is a centralized entity, that doesn't look so good for the Steem blockchain. That is my main point.
