Wait, have the bid bots left? Steemit was an amazing decentralized platform for bots for a while there.

Net new adoption is less important than longevity. How many dead or zombie accounts exist on Steem today?

Not having the keys is a slippery slope with a lot in the way of risk. It'd be more interesting to see a multi-sig situation with a smart contract behind the scenes pulling/distributing in an approved

Nice work. All the coloring and the quirky take kinda reminded me of an interesting Dali painting I saw once of a giraffe on fire:

When does it go from 'running downhill' to 'falling downhill'?

Probably not. That is way too large a percentage. Companies move slowly. The larger the company - the slower the move.

Its definitely a MLM scheme, with each layer feeding on the fervor of the layer below. I haven't been on Steemit in a few months, but when I last checked there was just so much rent-seeking behavior as

Thanks for the comment. I definitely there is a place for leaders that lead by example. These often come in the form of player-coaches where the manager is still doing the role in some capacity. I think

I'd be worried about the latency costs alone routing my application traffic to 100+ strangers.

Its going to be a very difficult to build a competitive control layer for a decentralized solution. The latency costs paid by routing traffic to hundreds of machines owned by strangers may be more debilitating

Delegations are a dangerous game that simply let people turn into rent-seekers instead of content creators or curators. I've always thought they break the economic engine of Steemit.

Well, that just seems pretty obvious.

They are likely over-valued at the moment anyhow. So, do you want the crash now, or the crash later?

A change is definitely necessary to keep Steemit alive. At the moment, it is essentially a mid-level marketing scam that requires new bodies to constantly enter the system. Otherwise, there is no incentive

Most likely they delegated their steem power and left. The system is not really set up to reward a healthy middle class.
