It's just so frustratingly common that users do NOT realize the difference, that in the past year of endlessly clarifying it over and over and over ... and over some more... that when I read your post, I saw the possibility of still more new users (and many who have been here the whole time too sadly) continuing to confuse the amateur blog makers with the open source power chain of choice.
More to the point, all the things you want can and are happening without steemit inc involved at all. But steemit inc, will always be subject to the whims of their corporate nature and their amatuer management team.
Yes, but I do and I sure hope it doesn't seem from my post that I don't [bad writing if so]... Now, if someone gets confused...well, I hope they read our comments at least haha :D
