This is also a fantastic point; I think everyone who provides their .02c on the solution need to consider the fact that steemit.com isn't the whole enchalada. These proposals are to the steem blockchain. Meaning it will have an effect on every platform out there; dtube, chainbb, dsound, steemiz, utopiaio, busy, zappl and tons more. Those are just the most popular of the many platforms that have sprouted during the beta phase of STEEM (a beautiful notion by the way. Think of all the ideas that have been born and dev teams STEEM has helped bring to together.)
That, and once SMT's are a thing there will be countless more interfaces using STEEM tech. So if we are to put forth our ideas for UAHF/SF's they need to consider the direction of steem's future as a blockchain, not as an interface.
