It is true Facebook does censor, but doesn't Steem also have community standards?
Point to me said community standards. AFAIK there is no such thing. Not only that, but you're seriously comparing a decentralized solution with a centralized one and said decentralized solution was literally created purpose explicit to be censorship proof. You're also saying that Steem's use case is simply social media platform with stable coin, yet that is not what it is, Steem is much more than social media even if social media is an overwhelming aspect of it it has other uses/objectives than to be a censorship proof platform, in the white paper it talks about empowering people and distributing the coin. The threat can only manifest in the form of another competitor that embraces both Decentralization and Immutability, as the community is in no way going to jump ship for anything less, the vast majority are either here because of censorship on Facebook or because of the desire for something more trustworthy than Fiat, and I don't see Facebook paying their users one cent.

Steemit I'm not convinced was created to be truly censorship proof. Steem is censorship proof already. You can't delete from the Steem block chain but no website will make it easy to find.
Agree
By paying it's users that is how.
Centralized or decentralized has nothing to do with profitable or unprofitable. Steem is unprofitable. Facebook is profitable.
I didn't think Facebook would ever be profitable but I was wrong. They know how to run a business and make a profit. It's this element which Facebook is good at which Steem is horrible at. Along with UX which Facebook is brilliant at and Steem is horrible at.
Facebook seeks to grow as much as possible. If it means letting users get paid then they'll do it. The competitors like Google has no problem letting users get paid. Twitter also is talking about integrating cryptocurrency. At this time I don't know what Jack plans to do with crypto but it shows me that Twitter has some plans.
