System woes - Is the Steemit team stretched thin?

Dear Steemit community,

Recently, it seems like we've hit a bit of a rough patch, and it's time to address the elephant in the room - the upvote system on Steemit.

There's a growing sentiment that the Steemit team might be stretched thin on developers, considering the persistent issues with the upvote system. Both on my account, @Donatello, and the community account, @danceandmusic, I've found myself unable to cast those precious upvotes in our vibrant dance and music community nestled in the hive-118409.

To add to the complexity, it's not just the upvote system causing ripples; there's been a hiccup in Tron (TRX) payments. Despite TRX showing up in every user's wallet, the payouts seem to be on a hiatus. It's a double whammy that's left many of us scratching our heads.

I want to acknowledge the hard work put in by the Steemit team thus far. However, it's only fair to express our concerns about the state of development resources and the impact it's having on the platform's functionality.

As we await a resolution, let's utilize alternative means to support our dance and music community - comments, resteems, and the power of our collective voice. And don't forget to use #SteemitGlitch to share your experiences and thoughts on this matter. Together, we can navigate these challenges.

Here's hoping for a swift resolution and a return to the seamless Steemit experience we know and love.

Stay strong, #SteemitCommunity!
