I agree with everything you've outlined above, save for the idea that to thrive Steemit needs high-profile content creators. I think the real thriving will come with the rise of Steemit-made high profile content creators.
We will still need high profile content creators of course, but the Steemit-made ones will inspire the next wave of new authors. The community that these Steemit-born high profile content creators will have us being made now.
Oh, just take my upvote, you're brilliant ;)
Thank you @prufarchy. I will keep my fingers and toes crossed for all of us. We are sitting on a huge opportunity that we need to nurture very carefully and deliberately. Collaboration is key. I love the support here. Waving enthusiastically from down under. J.
I couldn't agree more, that we need to care for this opportunity and that collaboration is the key. And we have that in spades around here :)
