It sure did reached the quality threshold. I do hope that the new leadership will do something to encourage interaction and engagement. For sure the interaction part is utmost important to the Steem Blockchain! It can't claim to be a social media platform without a decent amount of interaction. I don't blame you to advertise this article, I also did it yesterday to give it more attention! Why: cause I did want to point out how important interaction is on Steemit. (You can read it on my blog if you have time for it!)
We can't blame it all on the blockchain, we should also blame ourselves (the user of the blockchain). We did let it happen.
We are not trying to educate people when they do introduce themselves. We are all going for upvote for the money not to support the author! Most comment are just spam hoping to get again an upvote!
People are using massively bid bots to get on the trending and hot pages, but once they are there to forget to interact, some even don't care to reply on genuine comments!

Thank you for this great reply.
When there is money to be made, it will rule, nothing ever changes.
Steemit has a grand idea and still I hold a lot of hope for it, but we will die a slow death if we do not get a handle on the abuses that are really now becoming so obvious that even the newbies are shaking their heads and wondering -- how long can it last? -- Am I too late?
Education is the key and quality is the only way the platform will stick around (or at least be worth being a part of)
There are people who are trying to take some action. I, myself, try to motivate people to become resonsive!
But it is utmost important to vote for witness project who do find interaction and engagement very much important. We need to make sure that they will have a voice when witnesses are talking about the future of the steem blockchain!
You hit the nail on the head.
Please see my latest posts on witnesses.
I will, it wasn't until a few days that I do understood the important of the witnesses!
