Internet anarchy does not work. The decentralized myth does not work. Hands off does not work. Rule by fear, or force does not work. They must be learning something, but they still fear the people. 

Guidance by just simply stating this is what we think is best, but it is your platform also, so what do you think? The 'alliance fund' distribution, and this new 'Delegation Committee' they just came out with, is all to say this is what "we have given you a voice", talk to them, complain to them,  Fall out teams, steemit's own personal fall out shelters I feel. What is the difference between the two, more red tape, not sure they have thought this out at all. It just seems like more smoke and mirrors to me.

So we have @steemalliance, *(the  steemfoundation)*, the 'Delegation Committee', and steemit, Steem Block chains own little Triad.  Future denial plausibility built-in system, it's not our department go talk to-blah blah.   

Still if they could open their ears to the users needs and wants they would see that we and us and them are really not at odds with each other, we all want steem block chain to survive and thrive. In a lot of ways Steem Block Chain is thriving, it is just steemit that is not. I still use the steemit front end, a few others still use it, but a lot of people are moving to the other front ends, steempeak seems very popular right now. They are listening to their users wants and needs, and making changes to how the content is displayed and viewed. (my wife uses it, so I get kept up to date on why I should switch). I am thinking about it. Busy was up and coming, I am not sure where they are now, or partiko, prices may have something to do with their lack of news, I don't really know much about the other ones. 

I think onboarding by the alternate front ends is going to be the turn around for steem block chain, I think steemit can see that, and are in preservation mode, they may have left beta, but they are still in the we don't know what direction we are taking mode, so they are pulling themselves apart.
