Some people know more of the inner workings of the platform hence a wider perspective of what more to come than us. @timcliff has posted a few but too technical for me..perhaps you can ask him?
For now..belief in the platform is what most users here have. Small key promotions seem not enough yes where Steemit Inc can maybe do something about it but perhaps they have a timeline to do it?

Love this mushrooming Old Dog...let it be!
