sharing alt links limits reader engagement of current Steemians.

I don't understand this point, please elaborate?

This was posted on SteemPeak.. so you're a smart steemian, so why in the world would you share a steemit link to the outsiders? It is the most horid interface ever, and just because it's the 'most used' default interface, doesn't mean it's the one that has to be shared. Why? SteemPeak and the "I love SteemPeak" extension (for routing steemit and other front-end links to SteemPeak) should be the STEEM start-up kit honestly. Steemit would scare any experienced blogger away over time - Steempeak unleashed the advanced platform capabilities and showcases STEEM as a superior blogging platform.

Although it doesn't dazzle in this particular department either but at least it doesn't have that eyesore at the bottom, and the comment section of SteemPeak just looks a lot more professional and put together, honestly, Steemit does not have to be the 'most used' front-end.. We can definitely change that over time but need to start somewhere.. (and should, IMO)
