Easy access to HD upload is a must. 480p is an obsolete technology when you have 4K (or even 8K behind the corner). Steem wants to be a tech leader of the social platforms but even verification does not go smoothly, not mentioning about the other glitches. In my opinion, there is a long way ahead. However I wish them all the best. What I'm totally falling for is the decentralisation, and that's the place where steem is winning. Just chop chop with the upgrades and they will rule the digital world.
