I think the same way as you @meno, I'm not that old here and it took me some time to understand and differentiate Steemit from Steem - now I can see it.
For me it sounds natural to see Steemit.com fading away slowly, indeed SteemPeak does a much better job, so good that when I try to bring my friends into the chain I show my blog through there.
It also sounds natural to see the niches finding their own way into separate dApps, from there we already have dTube, Appics, etc.. At least it'll make the experience of finding high-quality content much easier than this chaos that is the tag system.
