It's not that different, and I don't know what you're missing here :)

I guess my point was that rewards generated from writing posts have always been split. This is an additional layer of splitting to help fund the project itself and give back to the community that forms around chainBB.

If the rewards is the most important thing to you - then I'd recommend using Steem still. But there may be a day where Steem decides to activate the same kind of system to fund their development, which I'd probably encourage. I personally am willing to sacrifice a portion of my rewards to go to building a better platform, whether it be chainBB or some other platform.
