"The most valuable thing Steemit has, is the userbase."

I agree, as well as "should NOT be wasting time with monetization, but should rather focus their energy on building something cool that people want."

The content and the people who create it are what will make Steemit a success, or not. We are the fuel for the Steemit growth.

It's up to us to increase the reputation of Steemit as a valuable platform for people to join. Build the content based on quality value.

Thanks for the short analysis. Peace.
