I'm part of this community for a while now. And honestly i have to say i don't come here very often because it is marketed as a social media forum, but most of the creators with the biggest followings aren't exactly the typical social media personalities. Most topics are business , and crypto related which is fine because this is a crptocurrency community too. But not many people are interested in the how to part. One day when/if crytocurrency will be used as payment for eveywhere, even than would be only some part of humanity be interested in it this much. What we all should understand that growth won't come to this platform if there won't be a push in the mainstream area. The mainstream area could get a push if certain changes could be made.
Firstly a proper search engine. Not this weird half google half something else. And the results are all messed up.
Secondly, not only be able to follow individuals but also be able to make either communyties on a topic, or just follow a category like a tag.
Third: All the secondery parts like dmania or similar sites properly melted into the system so we don't have to navigate from site to site for certain stuff.
And finally as i said fresh mainstream stuff to steemit, trying to elevate a few really talented people who seem to be working restless on their content.
I'm thinking here as a consumer not an influencer. Even if technically all of us are paid influencers in this system. Which is an amazing thing. Steemit needs a more userfriendly outlook.
These tiny changes would bring so many people to this community.
