Reading what @wakeupkitty wrote, an idea came to me. What would happen if we suddenly stopped commenting? Before I started to give my opinions, all this was very cold? If nobody starts to give an opinion, nobody moves to comment? Isn't criticism what we need to know the acceptance of what we write? Unless what is written is garbage and it is not necessary to wait for comments.
I make one thing very clear. And this is based on reality. The most successful platforms, not even the platform, are the ones that generate the content. It is generated by the users. Steemit from what I see, they focus a lot on investors (which are not bad), but investors, where there are no users, do not invest. Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, whatever platform, the user is the key, they generate the content. And don't forget that these platforms. The interaction between users is brutal, it's constant. Which generates more and more users. It generates more profits. And the joke is that these platforms don't even pay the user. Maybe steemit could better use paid advertising as these platforms do and generate money for other functions such as quality content. Examples of games and networks that were left in oblivion, because users were demotivated, hundreds.
It is normal, moreover, that hundreds of artists come to this platform and see the awards for poor quality and are disappointed. As a result, the artist is lost, but his circle of friends, with artistic affinities, too. Why recommend a social network, with lousy content?
It could be, and I believe it, that the fall of the steem price, to a large extent, depends on the little interaction between users. There is no FOMO, the fear of being left out of something, that desire to know what is going on has been lost. If every time you go back to your account nothing has happened. So what's the point of such a network?
