yes, I love how no one on the platform ever agrees on anything, isn't it wonderful (-:
I hear what you say, that SMTs won't magically make things great if things are fairly lame here as it is.
Like you say, STEEM missed a huge opportunity, and continues to do so, by being difficult to access/start-up. But not even that, even if it was only attractive to geeks, there would be more here... only 2400 dolphins after 3 years of existence?? If Steem was the place to be there would be millions of geeks worldwide here. It just goes to show why STEEM flounders and is getting squeezed down to a pipe dream things will ever succeed.
I want someone to convince me I am wrong. I so want to be wrong, but I can't see the trees from the wood here. And yes, I love how no one agrees all the time either, that's what makes this place so awesome. different opinions, different voices. its just a pity our voices are worth fuck all
