There is a lack of communication, and there is no place where to provide feedback to make steemit greater. Also the way steemit works, where the Money rules on everything, on the quality of posts, on the witnesses, on reputation etc is very discouraging. I wrote a post about what I think how Steem should work: https://steemit.com/steemit/@emble/will-steem-succeed-or-commit-suicide
