I'm with you and hope steemit (or some social version using Steem) survives and then succeeds! I appreciate the fact that you took the time to read the post and to give a thought out reply. Many older Steemians don't do that, especially one that is a little more critical. I think many of the people that read my blog will appreciate the fact that you took the time to explain your position.

And while I realize that there are things that need to be fixed and addressed (and that takes time), I think more people would be more comfortable if they had an inkling that people are working on fixing them. The impression many have is that the problems are falling on tin ears, so if that's truly the case, it would be awesome if they can improve the message. ;)

I would say most people I encounter love many of the aspects of the technology, plus more importantly have invested tons of time and make great connections. So I don't think they need to be afraid to say "we are going to improve this or that".

Thank you again, that is really cool to get that message from you @intrepidphotos!
