That sounds all fine and dandy on the surface, Luke. I see your point, I value your stance. I respect this message through and through.
BUT. My work will still be displayed on Steemit.com, regardless of which front end I decide to use. The value in the form of eyes, attention, clicks, etc. my work (our work)brings to the platform does not go away, if I (we) decide to take a different approach.
As content producers, we should probably begin pushing Steemit.com to give us a cut of the ad revenue.
