I'm not sure what is going on, they should be working hard, but I do feel the disconnect, users used to be overexcited for steem everybody was screaming and they were the big celebrity, now it's quiet and ghostly here, people are spent most of them have lost the drive.
It's a matter of time to see how things will go, the patch can change things for the better or revitalize the "belief" in "Father Steem\Holy Upvote and the resteem in between" :D
If Dan and the Steemit team were hard at work on features, we probably wouldn't see many posts from them, exactly as it is now. I don't have any desire to see them actively trying to pump the price with posts.
User interface and user experience are the top issues for Steemit right now IMO. These will be solved by programmers keeping their heads down writing and testing.
It's on purpose, like short selling. They are waiting for the wave of powerdowns from the hardfork to end. Nothing will happen until the "weak hands" or "disillusioned users" finish selling off and leaving. Then the sockpuppet army will arrive and start hyping desperately needed features again. You know, like being able to edit\delete your own posts, and maybe fairer voting, and a simple tip button, all while consolidating earning power and control into the witness features.
It's a pattern, you can watch it happen on a regular basis with bitshares\graphene\steemit.
Have to ask you the same question, It's nice to see your blog, but you seem to be either working hard or not giving a crap anymore :D, still I've read your materials on the leftists and the blacklists :D
nice formatting, everything is there :) I think a 5:1 curators to authors ratio is pretty healthy if curators increase it would be better.
Maybe add the 38% of rewards going to comments to curation rewards. I think it should be a way to start and produce income, not just to increase your investment. If you start out with 5$ so 50 steem let's say you would take ages to double that, on the other hand, somebody can just do that in one upvote with his 3mil steems, sure if he doubles his 3mil he will spend ages too :D
Dunno, it feels hard for the little fishes, I spent 2 months reading what I cared about, before the people I was following quit then I realized the world is cold and my 15 Steem is 3 times below what was given to new users for a start, never did see that 500$ payout much less 3000$ :D
You don't add commentary anymore. Nothing to say? Less enthusiasm?
Yes you got it.... not very motivated at the moment, still no communication from Ned and Dan, they know how to loose users, thats for sure.....

Is this link to an official steemit account? Wouldn't that represent communication from Ned and Dan?
