You totally should leave Steemit. I have. I'm using SteemPeak now. They haven't made many major updates to Steemit in the last year and it has hurt us. We've existed with limited ways to find content for over a year while Trending has been full of shit.
Steemit isn't Steem, and it's about time we learned it. If Steemit did exit scam, which I seriously doubt, then it would seriously hurt, and the price would tank, but we have a lot here, and we could possibly recover. We need to set up things so that even if they did go bankrupt, we could continue and thrive. Even if that part of what he said is bullshit, it doesn't have to be.
Steemit doesn't have to open their books...but Ned does kinda suck at public relations. It is what it is.
If we don't like the way things are, we can just take more and more responsibility ourselves.
Yup, I've been using Steeve recently and I'm very happy with it. It's just way better for finding great content.
I really wish that Steemit.com would get some updates though, like it or not, it's still the website new users tend to see first.
I was using Steeve and SteemPeak back and forth...but I don't agree with their decision recently to start commenting on any post found through their suggestion interface, and then using the user's keys to upvote that comment.
