Very helpful propositions there by @cryptotem, @zekepickleman, @emmyem84, et al.
My prayer: may this post get to the appropriate people so that solutions and necessary updates can be made.
Meanwhile, I believe that the steemit team are working assiduously to make the platform better. Don't forget, it's Steemit 'beta', so there's a large room for improvements.
Thanks again @cryptotem for your post.
True and I do think that it is awesome they keep on devoting their time to the development :-)
