You share some great insight here! Thank you! I'm definitely in this for the long haul but I think it's the duty of each user to help try to shape the future of the platform. In a way we all do with each post.
I've been a writer for a really long time and never have felt the excitement or sense of community that I do here. Are there uncertainties, bumps in the road, frustrations, growing pains? Sure there are...but if there's a better platform out there, I haven't found it yet.
following because you've put it quite nicely
Thank you, @ericvancewalton Been following you around Steemit.
When the writers, like you, begin migrating from Medium & WordPress to Steemit, (or at least first posting on Steemit) a viral Steemit will break-out.
Thanks, @nigelmarkdias. More writers are making the migration and I know there's an active campaign to attract even more. It's only a matter of time!
