Definitely on track because really, this is all what has comes down to. People simply got bored of the old way of following. They need engagement. Real comments, Real interaction. The "ice cold" mode of the author being disengaged for more 'prestige' doesn't work. It looks duchy. If you are that busy to not be able to interact with those who support you then you shouldn't be earning that much to begin with.

I think Steemit can take this REAL value, human interaction, the most valuable asset along with the content and monetize the shit out of it. This is what it all comes down to.
