RE: "Building Decentralized Communities Is Not Rocket Science" || About Integrity, Loyalty, Trust And Where To Find It

I don't agree that there's no community building taking place. Though there's plenty of room for something else to come along and eclipse it.
What I see is chaos forcing adaptation, evolution. Evolution is neither good nor bad. The most effective adaptations will thrive, and go on to reinforce one another.

That's quite philosophical, and if we were not talking about steemit.com I'd probably agree on your point of view :-)

There's plenty of room for something else to come along and eclipse it.

Exactly. I'd like to quote Ned Scott (Founder and CEO Steemit) here who said in one of his interviews on beginnings of 2018:

As long as steemit.com is not dwarfed by other applications built on this blockchain, Steem will never be able to succeed.

Steemit.com is no priority for Steemit, Inc anymore and we're now seeing the consequences.

The problem with this strategy is that they've abandoned their no. 1 application and the place where most of the established users actually created their home and where most of the new users are still getting in contact with Steem for the very first time (including creators, curators, investors and media).

Competition is good for business. So I'm excited to see how this market will develop during the next months!

Thanks for stopping by, and keeping the thread alive :-)
