Eventually all these great apps will be on top and steemit will literally not be a thing. Thats the real reason for the forever beta, steemit is the everything drawer, other apps on top will be able to be filtered, censored, etc.
It is not so simple as that. all these apps run over the same block chain what steemit does effects the entire chain ! if yo see it or not . the health of the entire chain is affected. It is like our planet just because on country might change their ways to save the environment they still will not survive if the rest of the planet stays with the old behaviours. More people need to understand this and do something about it. And yes @moneyinfant 's post was the bomb and I am pretty confident he would be still doing it had the community taken the time to reward him for the hours of work put into it ...
