Congratulations for the delegation, @ikarus56!
I also don't think Steemit or other DApps will stand a chance if they try to be a next Facebook or any other top centralized so-called free social media website. They need to find their own niches, which are better put into light and valued here on Steem.
About Steemit website, it's not only an issue of design, it is an issue of programming too, which from what I understood is a bad choice for what the site has become, but was a good choice for what was initially intended to do with it.
Steemit website would need to be re-created from scratch, in most part, in my opinion.
Thanks. I agree with you. I have limited programming skills and cannot say much about it.
