RIP steemit - long live steem

Seems fitting that steemit exits,... Maybe now the community can thrive? I don't know about others opinion, other then the doom and gloom, but I for one welcome steemit exiting the space, when a decentralized project to bring a block chain to the masses out paces itself in growth, ads isn't a viable option, rescaling is. Devs be devs... And steem will march on.

Comment - My understanding was it wasn't premined or ninja mind, it was just farmed for a few days while only a group of friends essentially had the know how of the system, and releasing code wasn't done promptly or on some elitist we must be notified forum.. shrugs they needed their 10% donation in the end to promote the system as they did,.. however... Transitioning to a for profit company running non block chain traditional revenue streams system makes sense.. steemit is not steem.. steem marches on while some will possibly leave steemit for more free options, most of which charge their 10% now for posting and such... iirc pretty much every app that allows posting does this.. it's not like steemit runs their own bid / buy bots... Past that, it's not hard to also use some other cms type systems to completely ditch steemit and run off a static site somewhere like GitHub.. steem marches on.
