Anyone who had the idea that Steemit.com is or was a dentralised platform is kidding themselves.
Though the word blockchain in and suddenly people are expected to understand what it means.
I knew this was a centralised product before I invested. I hope no one was under any other illusion.
Decentralization can occur in several level. Decision making power should be centralized in projects like this when they are young. Otherwise bugfixing, hardforks, etc get unnecessary difficult to do.
Decentralization of decision making power should happen later when the platform matures.
