There are so many ways to interact with steemit it seems. I'm still trying to figure it all out, but it seems the best ways, to me, are either via my laptop or S9. I'm sure the incentive of "use this app...we will give you said reward" is quite a determining factor, but I find it's easier without all the "extra" options...

Appreciate you pointing this out my friend; transparency is always best, lest karma do it's thing...
