Very well put. I have a blog elsewhere (I own my own domain) and I have to admit I do most of my blogging there precisely because of the features I can have there, which Steemit is lacking. I especially like how it is my own space and I can filter and remove comments. I have actually taken a break from Steemit because I don't feel the same sense of wellbeing blogging on Steemit as I do blogging from my own website. For me it's not really about making money, but about getting my message out there, which I think I can do much better from my own website than from Steemit.
