My question may sound dumb but let me ask it. Via steemR we can access the Steem Blockchain using R but do we still have to subscribe to Steem DB service offered by @arcange? Or will we be able to access Steem DB using steemR?

It depends on what data you want.
@arcange runs a service called steemsql. This is a fantastic service that packages the blockchain data in an sql database so you can easily query it.
steemR will let you access aspects of the Steem blockchain data but will not be as comprehensive as steemsql. It also does not provide an SQL connector so you will need to use R to access it.
Got it, thanks @eroche
