You seem frustrated. Why do you think Steemit is collapsing? They have released a new update today with a slightly new design and much faster response. Personally I never invested much money in Steemit and so far it gave me much more than it took. But I still believe in the idea a lot and think it will continue to grow. Maybe not Steemit itself but that is ok. The community is developing tons of cool tools for us. Utopian.io sounds super promising and today Dlive was announced which sounds super cool for my personal plans with Steemy.
