There are posts from people that are not happy with the state of steemit and where it is going. There is a lot of blame on the bots but getting rid of them will not solve everything. The problem is still visibility and spreading of rewards. These are being addressed when communities come out but I do think we need to further spread out the voting power to make it easier for new accounts and content creators.
That being said, even at its current state, it is still worlds ahead of every site out there. I am not exaggerating. I am telling you as a professionally published author who spends a lot of time looking and trying out new sites nothing comes close to steemit. No other sites rewards users on a daily basis and models like advertising and subscriptions are great only if you get a large following. And both of those can be applied here. Literally steemit is the only site right now that is a viable option and will only get better.
Now we should not get lazy. We really need to make changes and I get the frustration about the site. But this frustration comes from knowing how great this site can be not because the site isn't any good. I do hope there are changes soon and I am asking to take it into mind where the site is heading. I know they are working hard on communities and that should help a lot but more voting changes can also increase the site for new users.
That's my two cents on the topic.
