I completely agree with you on this, this year is the first year I am starting to trust in Steemit Inc since they are starting to deliver and showing better communication. Let's hope they will keep that up.
And I agree, one thing they definitely have a lot to learn yet is in marketing. Because that's something steem and Steemit are missing completely.
@raycoms if under word marketing you mean to promote Steem to bigger audience, than I totally agree. Another thing are tone of dapps, and coins under steem, floating all over. All exchanges, working with steem, games, news, new developments... Where are those in one place to show them to new members? It's not hard for me or anyone else who is here on Steem for longer period. will you say to new member to make speeddial group with all 72 steem links? I doubt it
