I kind of got disgusted by the abuse of privacy, among other things.

For me, it just got so irrelevant and toxic. I don't mean just the way people interact there, but also how obsessed they are with it.

I would like to see the Steem blockchain create buzz and excitement again, but more organically and sustainably, if that makes sense.

Yes, it does make sense. The problem with the buzz from price, is that it attracts people only interested in price. Steem needs the apps to step up.
