I'm agreeing with the idea of some level of difficulty making STEEM worth more. I'm a minnow, but even I have a hard time figuring out what some people think or hope they should accomplish here with a few words and an image or a meme they most likely lifted from somewhere else.
I don't know what everyone else heard about Steemit, but I'm sure it doesn't line up with reality here. But there's more that goes on here and that needs to be done to make things happen than "Come for the money, stay for the community" or whatever else the motto is now.
Easy probably isn't the word, but intuitive might be. And neither is automated, but there's things that we need to know now that we probably really don't need to know, or if we do, have a better structure for getting the information.
So, while I get a little tired of the whining myself, even if I'm doing it, there are some things that really should be better or changed. We all know that. I'm just adding my affirmation of the obvious. :)
There are things being done. SMTs are coming communities are developing with and without steemit, inc. The frontend sucks. Hopefully, someone will develop another one.
There always has been and will be a disparity in content and rewards. You should search for the original Steem Make-up video. :)
Yeah, I get annoyed with the whining, but I did some of it too while I was a minnow. :) I get it.
theuxyeti is working on a fuller featured UI design that he calls sweetsteem. You've probably heard of that. He's been trying to get some people who will do blockchain work so he can actually connect to it. I hope he gets it. What I've seen of what he's been doing is way above what we've got to work with now.
I sure hope that SMTs work out like they say they will. Hopefully, they're pouring in quite a bit of time and expertise on those since it's not happening here yet.
