When you put it that way... It's just one narrative you can go with. You can also go and say, hey we did kinda fucked ourselves, but we also went more decentralized route and proved the world it can be done, which can bring more eyes and people might realize that we are kinda cool. Time will tell.

Wake up. Steem is done.
What is done? If you think about the price of Steem it was done few years ago. Community is still here, when community goes then it's game over, I don't see that happening anytime soon.
Price for sure, but may I ask you who will pay the cost of servers, developers and marketing?
Which devs? What marketing? Who pays anyx.io, minnowssupport, pivex and other public nodes? Who pays steempeak, busy esteem and other frontends?
You're absolutely right that steem desperately needs an vaiable economic model (ads, financial services, gaming?) but it can't be a single person that can pull the plug at any moment.
Who will replace steemit inc.? There were 7 people.
Do you think they quit because of the soft fork? Is this why they also voted for the old witnesses yesterday?
You didn't answer my question.
Nobody in tech is irreplaceable
That's true, as long as you have enough money to pay them.
Marketing is clearly not in the stars for us, there are a lot of coders here that are quite capable, cost of servers is not a problem.
All three maters are a big problem. We'll see who's right.
