I agree with you. Was really frustrated after the launch of HF20. And I didn't know if I keep doing Steemit, but then I got a delegation from the German community. That showed me that there are people who want the 'normal people' ( like newbies) to stick to it.
We talked a lot with some witnesses and they all know that the blockchain lives from the participating people. Their interest is to engage and bring more and more people to it.
In my opinion, it will have to get some changes in the future. One should be the redesign of steemit.com as @gadrian said.
I do not know if there is a competition for Facebook and co. but if you could improve the handling for newbies a big step would have been taken.
I do not know if it would be desirable to be as big as Facebook, because Facebook has always deterred me. Here at Steemit I feel comfortable and learn from day to day.
So the goal should be for all changes to maintain the qualitative standard. Then I will continue to be a convinced member.
I hope I have expressed my thoughts understandably, despite my bad English.
Wish you a happy steeming and keep doing your good work here.
Congratulations for the delegation, @ikarus56!
I also don't think Steemit or other DApps will stand a chance if they try to be a next Facebook or any other top centralized so-called free social media website. They need to find their own niches, which are better put into light and valued here on Steem.
About Steemit website, it's not only an issue of design, it is an issue of programming too, which from what I understood is a bad choice for what the site has become, but was a good choice for what was initially intended to do with it.
Steemit website would need to be re-created from scratch, in most part, in my opinion.
Thanks. I agree with you. I have limited programming skills and cannot say much about it.
yeah man. congrats on the delegation :)
huge news!!! and very well deserved.
