Ned's focus is the blockchain. Not revamping SteemIt.com. (my take)
They have proven with their words and their actions, revamping steemit.com isn't what they are focused on.
If people aren't listening and making up their own story about the future... And now they are frustrated... Well, that will have to shake out. Some will leave, some will stay, some new people will come and go.
The most likely scenario is we will move up and down with the Market. Our user base will grow, but slowly. Because most are not able to handle personal responsibility, freedom, and to realize they are making more here than they are somewhere else. :)
Look, I'm sorry you are leaving, but I have always felt that Steem isn't for everyone. I often find you funny, I just don't understand what you don't understand about SteemIt.com isn't the focus, and it isn't the future of the Steem blockchain. It is the firehose.
