Oh for fucks sake, I've already covered this before.  It and the site "Medium" are both monetized so there is no difference.  Nobody even makes money on Steemit anymore in the first place!  The payouts are equivalent to money you find on the floor of your car.  I don't have a medium or "blogspot" account so I just posted stuff on there instead.

I don't think my conclusion is really subjective.  A settlement layer has to compete with or beat gold as a store of value.  Bitcoin cannot accomplish that task so it has to do something else besides being a settlement layer or there is no point!

I think you are being dishonest if you claim this is not sound reasoning.
