I see an increase in the number of DRAMA post, post created for the sake of creating Drama, like what happens a lot on Facebook. I see the growth of SMT's having an effect on the number of Dramatic post of us versus them with the implementation of Steem Communities. I see no change in @berniesanders, that he/she is/will continue to drive the divide and conquer, be the king/queen of the dramatic scene.
I see the Nigerian community becoming one of the most popular groups to be around, and an expansive growth of the Croatian community.
A decrease in the number of tags an individual is allowed to use from 5 to 4 or 3 possibly.
Mostly I see a steady increase in the number of "active" users and fewer dead users.
I'd like to see the bot situation fixed, but I honestly do not see that happening in 2018, but it would be nice.
