The future of the platform is in your hands. It depends on what you will do or neglect to do.
This is one of the things I like most about Steemit. We create the future of this platform. It's built with the content of people around the world, offering up their interests, opinions, inspirations, and vulnerabilities. We give each other opportunities to laugh, cry, create, and think, and can curate the posts that are most appealing to our individual tastes. We each have witness votes (can't wait for that vote-for-witnesses rant), and can influence who steers the ship. Of course, those with more stake do have more weight.
Speaking of witnesses and rants, I'm excited about the next witness chat on the Steemit Ramble discord with @shadowspub, starting at 11am EDT on May 19th. It would be fantastic to see you there!
