Back to Steemit, that "focus" phase has already happened during the pre-July 4th launch.
I'd like to make one other comment on this portion of your reply to .
Sometimes tactical retreat is called for. The explosive growth in July did not sustain. The active user base is now smaller, the rewards pool is smaller, and if we've learned anything it is something that didn't work incredibly well to effectively launch the platform into a large wave of adoption.
In many ways the situation on Steemit now resembles the pre-July period more than the July-August period and perhaps refocusing on some key specializations makes sense, as either a base for slower organic growth or as a platform for another, different, attempt at a large adoption wave at some point in the future (perhaps when social features on the site are better implemented).
Just a thought, but I think a perspective well worth considering.
