Is the problem the business model of Steemit? When the revenue is being recycled to all the Steemit users, vs a Facebook, where some of the revenue at least is pumped into hiring hundreds of GUI designers etc. So for Steemit, who hires that army?

@ned and crew. There is over 70mil SP in the @steemit account...

70mil sounds like a lot, but to put it in context that's Facebook's monthly wage bill. Obviously all those FB people are not just designing new front ends and I would be curious how a company which is effectively little more than a website manages to employ over 20,000 employees! What are they doing that Steemit isn't doing, not an awful lot. Also suspect I Steemit will want to keep some of that war chest for other growth leverage like marketing etc
