Great points made here.

It is easy to overlook the progress that is taking place.

Each day we see growth...people can debate the pace and the direction some things are going but there is growth. And if one is actively posting, that person's account will grow each day. I believe you posted that there is now more available in the rewards pool on a weekly basis than every before. This is something newer users should take advantage of.

The progression from extremely new startup to viable, thriving ecosystem is a long and windy one. It will take time to get there. It will also require the efforts of hundreds of thousands of people. We are still at the stage of identifying the first 100K who will help out.
