Hey!
Welcome back! Are you here to stay? There's been a lot changing. Bernie Sanders is back in the land of positive reputation, there's no more Jerry Banfield, and posts that have purchased votes dominate the trending page.
I've found a lot of really great new people to follow on the platform, and the quality of most of the content is improving.
There's still a fair bit of spam to fight your way through if you decide to delve into the pits of "new" for your chosen tags, but I think Steem is starting to grow up, with more and more applications using the blockchain.
Dlive and Dtube are huge now, and aggroed has been working on steemmonsters, which is now live!
There's lots of exciting stuff going on!
HF20 on Sept 25, lots of good stuff in that, fingers crossed for SMTs soon after.
Good question, 'am I here to stay' I'm not sure! I'll look around a bit :)
