If only busy.org would do some regex foo and replace the steemit.com in articles with busy.org. I know it’s expensive computationally but there’s solutions (possibly also other than regex even) and it would be a massive UX improvement.

I had never heard of regex foo - it sounds like a Wolf Alice song! But I get what you're saying. Have the links made with steemit.com regenerate to pointing to busy.org pages instead.
Yes, if it could be possible, this is a great idea!
Yup, that’s the thinking. It can actually be done in multiple ways, one would be on blockchain level and regex is another option.
I’m pretty sure a smart dev could also do it with some js, intercepting clicked and redirect them. That’s what many ‘related content’ advertising solutions do and computationally it would be a lot less heavy (and thus cheaper) than have regex rewrite each URL on the fly when served.
EDIT: Included my link to my Utopian
rantsuggestion about the problem.
