There are now myraid apps for interacting with the Steem blockchain from Steemit, Steepshot, Zapple, DTube, DLive, Busy etc. All but one of these apps has been developing and
improving on their respective platforms only Steemit has not.
There is also no incentive to use Steemit other than that there are no fees to use it, whereas Busy have a bot that will upvote users given they attach a certain tag to their posts, which is why i no longer use Steemit and have switched all my blogging activity to Busy.org.
If users attach the busy tag to their posts they will receive upvotes from the Busy bots, as far as i can tell there are two bots one of which upvotes users with <500SP and another that will upvote users with >500 SP called busy.pay which is worth more.
