As someone who has been in the social media game for years I think you are being a little harsh. The platform is still in its infancy. Did Medium grow to millions of users in six months? At first that platform was lame. I am not worried about the future of Steem. The great thing is that the team can make changes on the fly as they have. The future is bright and I believe this experiment has legs. Yours and Synereo have showed us nothing.
