Steem doesn't have any difficulties in getting more people on this blockchain, but it definitely has a problem in retaining them.
Yes you’re right , it’s time for the corrections to be made , there has been speculations about the SMT that it will change the future of steem to a bright leading one, but having an ecosystem which won’t influence the value of steem and steemit is not what we hope for .
I know so many I’ve brought to the platform and they left right before my eyes. But I know nothing good comes easy so I endures. But steem should speak for it self. If steem to the moon happens then believe me , masses to the platform to the stars. Investors and content creators alike . Thanks for talking about this , this is a nice awareness
