Yes, I have to admit, that I see a lot of things very similar to you, but maybe not that extreme.
The one thing that keeps my motivation up is, that STEEM is a working blockchain. It runs like a clockwork. Will EOS be better? Maybe, but unless there is a working competitor, it´s basically hope. What Ned is doing (and maybe even worse, what he is not doing) is highly unprofessional by any means. Marketing is shit and yes, the logo sucks... communication non-existent... all true, but will Ned be able to kill STEEM? No. If someone is to kill STEEM, then it´s us.
So this is the time where true leaders emerge! This is the time for us to shine.
Thanks for putting out your thoughts (and the only reason why I´m not resteeming is, because most people will just label this as FUD, and it needs intelligence and a sensitive approach to handle this situation)
