I hope so....I promoted Steemit to thousands of my customers and only a handful are actually approved now. People are frustrated and are asking me if hey should try to sign up again which I'm sure so many already have and I'm guessing bogging down the approval process.
The smoother the sign up process becomes, the more adoption will follow for sure. :)
I think it is a common situation. Sadly, this might have stunted growth but we are where we are.
The only thing we can do is improve and go forward. It is uplifting to know the developers have it as a priority. At least they are tending to it.
Good point. Yeah they must see how important that is to grow. But like you said, we are where we are....And that's not a bad spot to be in :)
