I never complained one bit about the tech. The tech is great. The wallet is great. Those are great things and part of the reason I am still here. I think the void exists in understanding basic human nature. No one is paying attention the most important thing which is value, social energy value. I would tend to disagree on one point that Steemit is ahead. Actually, I don't think it is in its current state. People are continuing to leave. If the attention of minnows is not considered valuable in here, no one will stay. That is human nature. Only the tough ones are left, or the ones who are profiting. The rest have gone.
Steemit Inc I think needs a writer, an anthropologist on staff who can speak for human beings, not bots.
Desigining a system to recognize human comments and social energy is what i would recommend. People recognize bot comments as opposed to human comments. Humans can shut down bot comments easily. That's where I'd focus algorithms. Comments should be thought of as social energy. Social energy needs to be the main driver of the platform.
