I have been here for 2 years and see the same things you are talking about. Infact I have completely stopped writing articles because no one seems to read them anymore so now I really only do Dtube videos, steemhunt to earn daily rewards and actifit for fitness but thats basically it. I have gotten quite a few friends to join steemit but none of them stayed because it is so confusing and that was before all the extra tokens which even confuse me!. It just seems like everyone is going in different directions at full speed and it is tearing apart what steemit once was, a community. Now it is all factions, groups and clubs, not unity.

This opinion will not be well received by the "new steemians" I used to have utopian idealistic visions for this platform, my hope isn't dead, I still see potential and I've met some cool people. But, tribalism without any cohesion is a recipe for the f word, factions. It's a distraction first and a novelty second. If the communities could manage to onboard and retain users within their niche a few could survive.
The reality is most rational people aren't inspired to create cool or meaningful content and the idea that a band of fractured pirate volunteers will piece frankensteem together is pure fantasy.
I've focused on satire and troll content that alienates me from the steem is life click.
I agree with you. All of these "tribes" makes things worse in the sense of tags. Tags aren't useful anymore, because everyone will use the tags I've used in this post. But, they will use it for whatever content they produce because they want those extra rewards. However, that's basically the only downside I see so far with them.
