Good news? Really? Think again. The Steem blockchain has been forked. A large part of the users (including some dApps) (for example dPoll and eSteem, my two favorite dApps) moved to the Hive blockchain. Nowadays the average number of comments per post is only 1-2 on the Steem blockchain. Sometimes even less, and most of these comments are bot comments. The real human interaction is rare both on the Steem blockchain and on the Hive blockchain too.
