steemmonsters is still a pretty awesome app... despite my initial scrutiny back then I found myself pulled in, too...

I had my doubts about the "d" in "dApp" and it shows to be a legitimate concern. But really, this "ownership" conundrum is the same problem with the majority of smart-contracts containing owner-backdoors, too...

... so yeah, we'll just have to trust the SM team to keep things "fair"...

Unlike myself you did actually look into it and I really appreciate you putting out these PSAs
