I found this article to be very informative. I listened to it on an app I have and really enjoyed it, though I admit that I expected not to. (I don't get into to essays too much).

Although the concept of decentralization is great, I believe STEEM will progress best with a hybrid approach which includes strong leadership at the helm.

While I agree that sometimes this will yield greater efficiency, I think that we really ought to try out decentralization. What we have now is sort of a hybrid. I would like to see something a little more decentralized. At least to see how it goes.
