Definitely weird for the sudden bumped of subs. I still remember how cool the idea when I first came to Steem that the ambition was to replace Reddit. Only to realise that's an ambition too hard to pursue. Every time I need some lifehack/tips/opinion/review on some random shit, I can always find valuable info on Reddit, but not here on Steem. And that's all due to the difference of user amount.
I'm still looking forward to the day that I can visit Steem more than Reddit.
I feel the same way man, I keep trying to remember how uncool Reddit was a few years before I finally created an account, haha. Can't wait for hivemind/communities and token introduction, better fuel up on SP to invest with your delegation/voting power in as many as possible. :D
I was too very excited for what hivemind can achieve and the first thing come to mind is that we can finally have a Reddit in Steem..., expect it did not come true yet. And followed by all the harsh news like layoff and CEO gone missing and all, hard time to keep up the faith but I'm still on the boat, Steem need some huge makeover this year(or the bull market could cure the sorrowfulness?)
