RE: PRACTICAL THINKING. — Getting something for free and paying to get it aren't always alternatives. Fun and games with second price auctions. Strategies to improve signup for Steem and other new publishing platforms.
Thank you so much for elucidating on this!
I did disagree with one thing...
"Technology acceptance takes years. And it takes decades for the new to become the mainstream."
I believe this "acceptance" only requires reaching the tipping point. As we observed with the facebook takeover, this only took a few years before myspace was left a ghost town.
It's about creating the sexy UI and implementing many of the issues you are bringing up. I pray that this platform will thrive as it was intended, but it's going to take a lot of change. I'm here and present to contribute what I can to this evolution. Time will tell if this can be viable in the long run for our most exquisite visions of possibility!

I discussed technology in the sense of a new paradigm. Facebook instead of the forum or chan. Plain paper copying instead of lithography, Youtube instead of the lecture hall.
The prospects of change are better within a space — within a paradigm.
A few changes can improve the platform quite a bit. They simply are not being made . . . If you know programmers what want to work together to solve some of these issues . . . bring them into a conversation like this one.
Everyone is waiting for other people to solve problems . . . and that leads to issues in the logic of collective action. And then not much is done.
Indeed the same Steemit without the trending page and a delegation to new users that lapses after three months, something that simple, would be a major improvement, I think. It's simply not being done.
Do you agree?
I do. I think the trending page could be great, however, if it was better curated.
