I have noticed also what you are saying. I still don´t really understand how this place works(the basic ideas I do and this is why I try to support it) much but would like it to be more significant, this is why I just continue posting. I enjoy the art and posts I have discovered from others I didn´t know. I can´t help you in knowing or understanding the facts. Good questions!
Thanks for commenting @romanie!
Definitely I found a great art community on Steemit. Slowly I also understand more and more which is necessary to go further. @melooo182 is totally right about the dapps, that is what will make it take off.
