Dear @redpossum

Great feedback buddy. Thx for taking the time to share your opinion with us.

Why in the name of all that's holy would you think that we "must" trust them?

You nailed it with this question.

This ignores the fact that I too have invested in Steemit, not just money but over a year of my time and much unrewarded effort, as have hundreds of other minnows and redfish!

The worst of all is the fact, that our voices are being ignored. I don't feel like there is much of a difference between centralized authorities and decentralized one (in that case it's just simple hard to point out who is really making decisions).

Personally, I want an audience which will pay some attention to my writing

Did you ever considered promoting your post by sending memos to all your active followers?

I also wanted to make some suggestion.

My impression is, that the hardest part of attracting attention on STEEMIT is the fact, that our audience have very little chance to actually find our publications. Lack of solid notification system is an obvious issue. And regardless how hard I would try - there is very little chance I would find out about your new interesting publications (my feed is just flooded with to many posts).

Please allow me to share some suggestion with you. If you would ever publish content related to blockchain, crypto, artificial intelligence, psychology etc. then perhaps you could simply send me memo with link to that post.

This way not only I would have a chance to read your publication, but I will also upvote it right away with 20k SP voting power. If I would consider it interesting then I may also share it with wider audience.

Please let me know what do you think.

Cheers, Piotr
