Ok, I get what you're saying now. I misread at first that Ned was trying to kill Steem (not Steemit).

I agree wholeheartedly. In fact, the official steemit pages seem to want you to go to or develop competitors. If they were serious, they could have implemented changes like stuff that's on the "steemit more info" (for example) tool a long time ago. But they seem to openly acknowledge competition and seem to say, "If you don't like our features, maybe these guys will make it better for you. No business trying to improve its chances for prosperity does that.
