REVIVAL Has Steemit lost its focus? Awarding great content. Curation and upvote of quality content. Fun! Getting to know people. A taste of things from around the world. Community and helping one another. Making money as an added benefit.

400 upvotes and only 3 people have not read your post.

Creation rewards for upvoting those at the top of the food chain, not because the content is great.

Buying votes, automated votes.

I really love Steemit! I love the Steemit that allowed me to get to know and make actual friends from the UK, Canada, Australia, Bulgaria, Venezuela, USA, Philippines and Africa.

I love the Steemit that rewards good content, actually reading a post and intelligently commenting on it.

I love the Steemit that had people come by and give you some encouragement, correction and helpful suggestions.

For me the added incentive was some money to be made to help the folks in the Philippines and Eastern Asia.

I like to upvote a post because I like the post.
I like to upvote a post to encourage someone!

Not because my upvote is advantages to me!

Some of the best content is overlooked.

I am not speaking of my own content!

I printed a card to help me invite people to Steemit. Today what do I tell someone that wants to start out new today in Steemit?

I still love Steemit! I still invite people!

Improvements

Get back to curation and awards for great content
The bots could be used mostly to chelp the newbie minnow mature.
Add a chat that allows to chat in real time with other Steemians without leaving their blog.
Give better alerts to people that are making comments on our posts.
Let’s get the fun back
Let’s redefine our goals.
Change our algorithm to reward great content.

Just a few thoughts!
Please add your suggestions in the suggestion box.

Sincerely,
Daddy William
