They aren't hosting all this content. They host the text, but the content is hosted somewhere else. Even the images you copy/paste here are not hosted at steemit.com. If you look at the actual URL for the images, it's steemitimages.com, which is a separate entity. The only part of the content which is saved to the blockchain is the text of the URL which is linked to it.
