RE: Unofficial Steemit 2017 Roadmap For Regular People or Those Too Lazy To Read The PDF
Im sure I am in the minority, but i was very very disappointed in the roadmap.
The biggest single issue for steem is user recruitment and retnetion, and besides a tutorial (which is not really needed IMO) it really offers no solutions for that.
Instead, it focuses on additional, ongoing rule and software changes -- changes that make steem extremely unattractive as an investment of either time or money. At some point the creators of steem need to realize that no one is going to put serious money into it before it gets past the hardfork every month and a half phase.
to me it seems like all icing and no cake.
I guess I'm happy to see user improvements. This will take sufficient time. What i find most worrisome is that there are no checks and balances on power.
I think interface improvements (likethe drag and drop image thing) are great. But small interface improvements and Achievment badges and "gamification" aren't going to solve steemit's user recruitment/retention problems.
And making special "members only" sections of the site or allowing posters to censor replies to their posts will only make matters worse by hurting engagment.
Also, A stake decentralization plan that will be a "multi-year proccess" and that only addresses using the steemit account to pay site expenses (which we already knew)is very disappointing.
