RE: Why Steem is falling and what we can do about it
Hi @happyme thank you for taking the time to reply to my confusion and questions earlier in the comment sections. I feel attacked by your comment as I thought you were directing your comment at that moment to my controversial post. Actually, you were commenting on the bigger picture of what is disappointing to you on steem.
I will have to agree with you on not so user-friendly interface of steemit. To compare to Facebook UI is too much I think, not sure if Steemit will get to that point soon. To be able to get to mass adoption soon Steem blockchain needs a front end that is as easy as using Facebook and Twitter/instagram. For now, we have all the tutorials in place to refer to for the average user. I think one of the factors of not upgrading the UI is the possibility that no users coming in once that being implemented. The quick fix now is that all the need to know tutorials are in place and mentoring system, now steem greeters kind of doing that: they will attend to/answer all the newcomers' difficulties on steemit. I wish the same as you too, they will allocate some funds for improvement on the UI, mobile apps friendly..
Thank you for this feedback on your end. Hopefully, the steemit team will take it into consideration.
Yes, that would be wonderful. I believe Steem still can be turned around, but it will take the people at the top to make the necessary changes.
I'm glad that I was finally able to clear up the fact that my disappointment was not directed at you. It was simply through your post that I realized there has not been any major change in Steem's direction since the new witnesses took control of the chain.
