I even write a post about it today.... when they will not solve it fast it can be the kill. The market cap is anyway a joke for such poor software like it is today. The more users will come the more spam and unrelated posts will dominate in the niche topics... finally when it grow even more, steemit is failed and uninteresting.

Today for example were under the top 10 in "marijuana" topic 8 (!!!!) totally unrelated content.... so what a joke that all. It looks it gets uninteresting before starting, it is all way too early and somehow when look at top earning articles not really a good source to find high quality articles. the whole thing would have potential when it would value articles over time and not when they go viral fast.
