I know so little of what's going on tbh. What's the worst thing that could happen if Justin "took over"? Not like Steemit has had any buzz in years. It wasn't exactly going anywhere. But like I said, the dude may be a scammy dirtbag for all I know, I legit have no idea.
But this is crypto. People lie and try to make money however they can. That's the gist of the entire sphere.
It's already dead.
