Just before the fork Steem has something like 9300 Minnows, 2200 dolphins, 370 orcas and 45 whales, so we have lost a lot of bigger accounts. Obviously some chose to stick with Steem, but a lot have powered down over the last year or so. It is proving to be an endurance test, but we have lots of development going on that may make it a more attractive platform whereas Steem seems fairly stagnant on that front, and they have lost Steempeak now.
I think it's important to nurture the good minnows who are adding value. We have to reach some critical mass where communities around interests are self-sustaining and attractive enough to bring in more people. Some marketing would be great, but where should it be targeted?
I'm sticking around and doing what I can to help.

Thanks again.
I agree a focus on promoting users and quietly dealing with anything that is a problem. (deemed some cute Hive name for spamming, scamming, milking, circle jerking, which only applies to small accounts)
I'm reminded of every management class I ever took,... Praise Publicly and give negative feedback privately.
Make it a fun happy place and people will come.
I am a minnow in hive. I have left hive if there has been no Leo finance. My blogging activities in hive earn few cents while from Leo I can earn more than $100 a month. I tried to participate in the hive curation group but the result still does not satisfy me. Now, I never expect votes from hive whales, I prefer to communicate and participate most in tokens like POB and LEO. The APR is also more profitable. AM I WRONG?
Do what works for you. I think you are better off working with communities of different types rather than just 'fishing' for votes. Make it social and make it fun for all.
!BEER
Agree, smaller communities in POB and LEO give me more opportunities to meet some great authors in hive. I learn a lot from them. I enjoy and feel more comfortable with those communities.

Endusers are fine, developers are fine. But not doing either, is not fine.
