Yeah words. I'm seeing it. Combing through @intelliguy's post now too. I have mixed feelings. Seems like a strange move? Or was steemit always this way but now disambiguated? haha

I have a hunch that they are distancing themselves from this network because of SMTs.
Because, to be honest, when you research steemit(dot)com, the data shows this place existing as quite buggy and lacking progress. Possibly they no longer want STEEM and STEEMIT(dot)COM seen as one in the same. Which, comes almost automatic.
From a business perspective it makes sense. It is also something to keep an eye on. Will Ned and team be as hands on with steemit still as they push to sell their model of SMT's to the wider internet?
Seen as steemit and STEEM are not linked. They really don't need to make this place so grand in order for STEEM to increase in value. Down the line, steemit will simply be, just another site using the STEEM tokens.
If the next move is a name change for this network.. then that would really be the nail in the coffin. Specially when the recent update puts so much emphasis on the IP of a basic logo. Possibly they are paving the way for control over how much information is spread from those within, to those in the outer.
This might all be speculation, and I don't want anyone to take my word for it. It's just my opinion, but again... some strange behavior coming from management.
People need to question!
