RE: Steem Price is Down. Should You Be Worried?
Point number 1,3,4,7 is what can be fixed if people stop for a while in making personal profit and actually think about the community as a whole. I agree to the rest of the points as well but community needs to acknowledge these problems first. I would also like to add one more point however your article covered all the major issues.
People spend time while creating their posts and they expect at least comments if not upvotes, if after writing something original your posts goes unnoticed, your start to lose the interest and over time this thing alone start to discourage you. Now if the can't retain the older users, what's the point in engaging even more people when at some point they will go through the same experience?
I also agree to the point where you've suggested that no similar posts are presented to you when you curate, these points needs to be acknowledged and if possible, fixed asap.
Funny that you picked those out, since I was thinking 2, 5, and 6 are the biggest problems. But they're also harder to fix.
Thank you @kissofearth for your comment.
Unfortunately, this rarely happens.
I like to curate. I actually curate and comment more than I write posts. However, the lack of good curation tools makes so difficult to do that.
