I have to disagree with you in that point about "having a negative attitude towards the platform." To have a GREAT social site, the site has to hear those who are using it. For example, I do not like to find my platform in Spanish and today I found everything was in Spanish and I did not change it. Secondly, I went to my curation rewards and I found my latest curation reward was 2 months old. I tried to find a support system and I have not found it. Third, I was writing and suddenly I found a message saying I could not post because I did not have steem power and I had exceeded so so so. Imposible to have Steem if for two months I have not received my rewards or somebody has been stealing them. And I can keep mentioning more and more of those details, but I don't because this platform sounds like Hitler: if it is not their way, there is no other people's way. Too many watchers, too many chiefs and nobody caring about the clients. I do believe your first line: "Many people are doing badly on steemit" because this is like coming to a restaurant and finding there is no waiter and no cook. And when they see no money, like the one is promised, they leave. I have to disagree with your phrase "here is not a platform for quick money rather a place where you can build your brand, community, make new friends and learn from very smart people." There is no information regarding that in this platform, except the money and the rewards. And here you can find smart advises as well as awful strategies to manage criptocurrencies. So, not everybody is VERY SMART PEOPLE on that direction either. And unfortunately, social sites are not done believing in content, there are other sites, like IBOTOOLBOX, with writers, doing that.
