I was driving could not write back... 
I read that post too, few days ago, but I'm not impressed... It makes me think of someone using makeup... No fundamental core changes,just adding features... 
I'm not, and I'll never be a writer/blogger,so this platform  is not made for me... maybe I don't get it, but Steemit make me think of MySpace, if you heard of it, not sure you were born back then... It was the coolest  thing, then, slowly  it was not trending anymore... I never closed  the account, I just stopped using it... It will happen  again..
