Positive changes are not guaranteed in the slightest so I would encourage anyone that does not enjoy the platform in it's current state to power down and move on. If you enjoy the platform in it's current state, but also want to see improvements find a way to be a part of the solution.
I always feel somewhat useless in situations like this because I'm not a developer and have zero knowledge about writing code. Therefore I must find other ways to contribute to those solutions that will push Steemit forward.
If you have any suggestions for us non tech folks @meno I'm all ears lol.
helping the growth of a community or growing a community yourself... those are valuation machines, and they are the best, because they are balanced.
