My opinion is that STEEM is actually #1 as far as tech innovation, actual usability, and community but I can't say that it is "undervalued" as far as the market is concerned. It is even better than EOS because there is 3 years of development here. The market has spoken though.
People don't like the weird experience here and the feeling of confusion about how other accounts are super powerful on here. The ones that get past that and understand how STEEM power works quickly realize that in an attempt to catch up they would have to commit hundreds of thousands of dollars to get enough power to possibly support themselves off their efforts.
There were a few people like yourself who were able to make a sizeable amount from being a content creator but no one can really come in as a content creator at this point and support themselves without powering up a lot of outside money. That isn't a good situation for something that is trying to be a content platform.
It is hard to say what the future of the platform is. A lot of people will feel pretty devastated by the price collapse and the work they have put in that vanished in a very sort time.
I will always keep a position in STEEM but I will always be deeper in other projects because of all the missteps here and the lack of effort to fix them.
