Thank you.
User retention and growth are things Steem inc is currently working on with HF20, Hive mind and SMT's. That's how I see it and that's why I think we are in a limbo mode currently. These 3 things will be hugely beneficial for content creators.
But it doesn't mean there aren't plenty of opportunities to find on the blockchain right now. I think Steem monsters is a great example of this.
