RE: Blockchain Update 3: Hardfork 20 and Release 19.4 – AppBase, StatsD, and RocksDB
The platform is still young. Changes are being worked on to improve a lot of the issues that people have. Also, your comment is technically not relevant to @gray00's. He/she said "decentralized networks on the planet". None of the websites you cited are decentralized. Are there any blockchain social media sites that are beating Steem?
If Steemit can't keep people around, then what is the point?
A "perfect" system populated by bots?
The bots have been here since the beginning of the platform. Sites like Reddit have a lot of activity from bots too. Finding a way for bots and humans to co-exist should be part of the thought process, because it will never be possible to eliminate bots. They can also provide a lot of value too, depending on their programmed purpose.
Which is precisely why I said there should be basic functions provided by Steemit platform-enabled services.
The rest tend to be the kind designed to "game" the reward pool, and it isn't helping.
The dismal retention rate is proof of that.
I’m open to discussing ideas. Do you have any suggestions for changes?
My suggestions have already been summarized with my opening argument.
Either Steemit fixes its abysmal retention, or market forces will ensure the platform grinds to a halt.
