The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place. - George Bernard Shaw
Nicely said, George.
Communication is key in any good working relationship - both in business and on the private terrain.
So let's talk, steemit!

What's wrong with you, steemit.com?
You know I'm one of your biggest supporters.
If you heard me talking about you on the streets, you'd be very flattered. I'm not short in praise when it comes to promote you.
I spend more time with you than with my family.
Everybody in this community knows that I love being enthusiastic and passionate about this place, but lately it's getting quite tough to stay patient and positive.
It's almost impossible to write anything on this blockchain using the steemit interface.
Comments don't get through, you post them again, then the older ones appear and you have to delete the previous one, then both disappear again. It's a serious mess!
And PLEASE don't tell me to go to busy.org, because that doesn't solve the problem. I don't want to go somewhere else.
Also: do you really want me to leave?
Are the readers of The Observer, Wired and other famous tech magazines that covered steemit lately also redirected to busy.org?
Look, now you see what I mean. These downtimes really hurt.
- Wired (4th of Oct 2017): The social network doling out millions in ephemeral money
- The Observer (3rd of Oct 2017): Another Cryptocurrency Venture Aims to Fix Media’s Monetization Problem
These articles link to steemit.com and not to busy.org.
In the end that might lead to a serious reputation problem. And we're all sitting in the same boat, you know.
Now you can tell me that the blockchain is working perfectly, but c'mon: regular people don't seperate between Steem and Steemit like we - the heavy users - do. They don't even know the difference.
If you wanna impress new potential investors, then having a laggy website is surely not the best selling argument.
So enough complaining, honey! How can we help you to recover? I'm getting dizzy watching this 'loading' circle on my screen. Really.
You want me to be passionate about you? Then don't ignore me.
You can't ask me to give 120%, to be fully committed, to spend day and night with you only when things are alright. I'm all in - in good and bad times.
So if you want this community to advocate you, then involve us!
Big hugs and get well soon,
Marly -
PS: By the way this is my 4th (!) attempt to publish this article... I would have tried it a million times, some things have to be said :-)
Thanks for your valuable time!
