So 
Hive account@ned just announced that he has had to end the employment of 70% the Steemit inc. staff! That's seems a pretty extreme action, but I don't have all the figures in front of me to comment accurately. I do know this though - there has never been a more opportune time to get involved in the running and improving of Steem! Suggestions are covered in this video that might solve many of the challenges Steem has had all along.
