Hey, @niel96.

This is a great check the pulse poll, to feel the temperature and attitude of STEEM right now.

It's not surprising to me that you have several issues stacked up on top of each other, since you pretty much hit on all them.

I chose other simply because I feel like there are some nuances to all of these issues, even though they're exactly what people discuss all the time.

The sad thing is, I'm not sure what any of it has to do with STEEM, meaning, any or all of it could have some affect. My guess is, a lack of marketing isn't helping, because others seem to be controlling the STEEM narrative a whole lot better, and that narrative is STEEM is a lost cause, due to at least some of the issues listed here.

I think there's a lack of networking with the exchanges and media and other hype machines crypto has. It seems like knowing people who know people is just important as what the blockchain does or can do.

I think the simple fact of the matter is, we control our own destinies here, and we can fulfill our own prophecies. If we think the problems are so big they're driving people away, then we should be doing something about it. Instead, we spin our wheels and never get anywhere because there's a thousand reasons not to change, and because others with vested interest in the status quo seem to be the ones with the loudest voices.

This comment seems to be turning into a rant. I'll stop here, and just say, thanks for this poll, and promoting it. I think it's timely, and hopefully you'll get a decent indication of what people think. :)

A lot of good points brought up in the poll. I only included the ones I felt strongly about...
