There's also the calm after the storm. Obviously, with cryptomania that occurred end of last year into early this year, there were all the late comers to the game and they saw the mess that's on steem it. It's a bad thing if steem is trying to position itself as something that it wants to be, all the while it looks like something else entirely. The drop in organic comments certainly looks like a reduction of human interaction (for the worst), but that might just mean that the platform is going through troublesome times....enough trouble to need change. Better to hit rock bottom and rise than stay mundane.
