I think a lot of people see/saw steemit as you did. I think if people looked at steemit as Netscape, AOL, or Compuserve, instead of looking at steemit as PC-Dos, Microsoft, IBM-Dos, or Apple,(Steem), they will see steemit in a different light. View steem as the operating system, and steemit as the browser. At least that is how I have been looking at it, I could be wrong though about the whole thing, and comparison.
