I don’t think it’s that there is no will at the top, i think they are focused on other priorities (namely improving the Steem blockchain) which I generally agree with. I believe Steemit.com is really just supposed to be an example, or proof of concept for what can be built on the steem blockchain.

I don’t speak for Steemit, inc obviously, but I think they want other people to make sites built on the steem blockchain that are better than Steemit.com and eventually for Steemit.com to fade away and not be the public face of the Steem platform as it is right now.

I agree with that concept but the more things keep moving forward with Steemit.com being front and center the harder it will be to get away from that, and at some point we might just have to accept that Steemit.com will be the face of steem and then focus on making it as good as it can be.
