Steemit.com was a breakthrough, even in the cryptoshphere. It has been in beta since launched, and there seems to be very little momentum to go beyond beta. There does not seem to be any will to fix the problems, as the people who got involved first benefit from the problems. My strategy is ride this as far as it will go, but keep an eye out on the people who see the potential here, see the problems here, and go make a better platform. I DO think that will happen if there is no effort made to polish steemit.com into the gem it could be.
