Neither Dan nor Ned has any incentive to talk about the fact that Steemit is on its death bed, so they won't. But they know it. But I will talk about it:
"STEEEEEEEEEEEEEM Sickness"
When I first joined Steemit, I contracted a case of "Steemrush". It was horrible, because only making thousands of SBD could cure it, and I didn't earn thousands of SBD. Its symptoms is an extreme increase in heart rate, cold sweating, big eyes and a hunger for wealth. I still have it to this day and often get up in the middle of the night just to check Steemit and write on it because I still want thousands of SBD. But one cannot make such amount, and maybe will it never be possible again until the end of time.
Everyone has it
Most users on Steemit suffer from Steemrush, only likened to conditions during the Gold Rush. Throttling at the mouth, you don't close your eyes, heart beating irregularly and with a bad rhythm, heavy sweating, a hunger for more SBD at the expense of your personal health, etc.
Everyone has it, and this is the reason why people are still so darn positive despite Steemit going down the gutters. Come on! STEEM has decreased by a factor of 51! 51! Something is wrong here, and I think it is you! You still suffer from Steemrush, and it is makes you too hungry for SBD to look reality in the eye and tell everyone like it is: It is NOT looking good for Steemit. This is a fact. And it doesn't matter if you're still making $10/post, OK? That may be good for you, for a while, but does $10 of free money really buy your silence? Because that's what it is. You're staying silent about the disaster of Steemit because of money. And you continue being super-puper positive about some "bright future of Steemit" only because that's what someone suffering fro Steemrush would say. Can't you see you're destroying the platform you want to succeed? Too much fake positivity. Look at what's going on despite your daily payouts. Something is extremely wrong. STEEM is down 51 times.
Steemit IS dying. What are you going to do about it?
Calm down for a while
Get a different job, don't make Steemit your main thing, and try to calm down for once. This immense positivism you keep throwing around is FAKE! Steemit is half on its death bed here, and you keep saying "buy STEEM!", "Steemit will conquer Facebook!", "Steemit is a social media platform created to battle censorship!", etc. Well, are any of these things currently occuring? I would say no. The only thing this is is you faking positivity just because you want more SBD. Don't get me wrong. I would very much want thousands of SBD, too. But I see reality. I'm not going to scream "amazing!" when Steemit has seen little to no real positive changes since last summer, and that's the truth. You're only positive about Steemit because you want the developers to notice you and maybe give you a small upvote worth $10 bucks. Is $10 worth the death of Steemit for you? It is not for me. Not in any universe.
How is Steemit supposed to grow if everyone on it is waiting for it to "become mainstream" just so that they can make thousands of SBD again? Does that seem realistic? It is not. It is just Steemrush.
You're like the lady from Requiem For a Dream waiting to be famous on TV.
