I've personally been extremely busy and I'm sure a lot of other people are as well, though I can relate to the feeling. Steem feels slower than it used to feel. Hopefully just a temporary thing. Ned must be pretty busy too as I read the Q&A thing and I think he only answered one of the questions..? That's kind of discouraging as well. There's a bunch of people asking good genuine questions there, quite a few people who are pretty loyal to steem and, I guess he couldn't even be bother to barely show up at his own Q&A.. Though I guess maybe if I read through the comments and saw all the people making fun of my hair and all the other really harshly critical stuff I might wanna shrug it off also. I dunno. Feels weird though.
