I feel as if we are back in the middle of 2017 where steemit.com was the one and only front end using Steem/SBD.
I really don't get your comment that you keep repeating. The HF is about the whole ecosystem not just steemit.com. Nor is steemit.com the only front end that displays content created by Steemians.
Steem should be the powerhouse of SMTs and SMT's should be used by the front ends with whatever the owners of those front ends want i.e. 50/50 or 60/40 and anything else they can think of!
2017 is a ref to HF19 and the changes in distribution of upvotes/eventual payouts.
After HF20 setting the path to SMTs and an economy that can last many more decades after the initial 15 years of issuing the base currencies (Steem and SBD) we now are going back in time talking about our economy as if we are still in the middle of 2017 where everything was all about a blogging platform (then steemit.com).
We took a step forwards and now we are going two steps back!
