It makes me sad that a platform with such huge potential to change lives (looking at it from an African perspective) is immaturely dying. I am only a year old steemian and I have seen and extrapolated on the margins of how far this platform can change 'our' lives and I can't help but smile.
BUT. That is if the whole community atmosphere returns. An online global society that uplifts efforts of others. It will require more manual cruising than the piloted bots. A connection between who is posting and who is admiring that post.
Those are just but the dreams of a minnow.
But that's the thing these things lie in the hands of the individual! Only if you participate in the communities you care about, keep people from leaving the platform and keep encouraging them then you can make a difference :)
I wouldn't say that Steemit is immaturely dying, at least to me it just seems like the start. I'm pretty sure that this platform will be around for quite a while and it's only going to grow more, the more attention it (and it's communities) manages to attract.
