There aren´t more weapons on the table now than 12 months ago. The system is still the same, but people have got bored in the meantime. The platform itself is just not exciting enough anymore. It´s the same thing that happens to kids who haven´t learned how to use their own imagination and creativity. If you don´t keep them busy they start doing stupid things :)
Cookies are actually a good idea. I will have some now.

I took your advice and had some cookies.

Coconut ones

And they were fabulous.


I told 2 more people this week about your hot pepper business Marly!

Oh I love Coconut. Mine had some chocolate chips inside. Not too bad either haha
Thanks for spreading the word!!! Too kind ;)

I share your 'not exciting enough anymore' sentiments ... we need a whale down-vote solution and marketing plan ASAP to rescue us from the mire! Enjoy those cookies :)

Think about a group of kids where suddenly some of the stronger ones start attacking the weak by beating them with toy blocks. Would you believe that the blocks are the problem and give the weaker kids some weapons to defend themselves accordingly? Or would you rather try to analyze why some kids started grouping and attacking the others in order to solve the source of the problem and not its impact?
Again, you can´t fight it by fighting back. That would be a vicious circle. Ask people WHY they behave like that and you´ll find out HOW to stop them.

They are adults behaving like kids ;)
No I haven't read it. I'm done with steemit so not willing to invest much more energy, thoughts, time here, sorry.
Best of luck!!! Sure you will be doing great 👊

Yip, I am taking a break but don´t know if/when I will be back. Currently I am powering down.
There are too many negative people around here, and to me steemit has lost great part of its fun character lately. I´m tired of it.
My very last article tried to explain my decision just in case you wanna read it :)
But that´s my single point of view / opinion. There may be still a lot of users enjoying their time here. Active user numbers are not increasing currently. But maybe the marketing efforts will bring the big revolution...
