The only thing I'm wondering here regarding the Steemit Inc selling is that the plan to stop selling seems to be based on Ad revenue. I've only started checking out the alternate front ends such as PALnet and SteemPeak but I have to say that SteemPeak is a waaaaaaaay better user experience than the standard Steemit.com website. Don't worry, I'm getting to the point...
If lots of users choose one of these alternate front ends, who is going to be looking at the Ads on Steemit.com? Anyone?
A very good point!
