Many times the Steemit site did not work. It usually happens after 9 o'clock in the morning when 30% of American bloggers access it. It is clear that they do not have the capacity to carry a larger network. Their site is heavy loaded 70% of sites are loading faster than accessibility. Normally, if they want to increase my opinion, it is still necessary to invest that the site does not block every week.
I'm bored to watch when the site does not go. :)

This is one of prove:
