Interesting enough is your opinion. However, may I offer that, based on your last sentence, the best time to prepare for a flood, is before the flood occurs. I'm no guru, but (and forgive the pun) if Steemit is causing ripples in the water, I'd start my programming now than wait to be inundated by a mass exodus.
It really does change the business model and paid for algorithmic advertising. When we share the knowledge of what's possible, the flood gates will burst.
...And it's already started. :-)
