If Steemit became a ghost town overnight as you say and the price plummeted, I think that it would present a very real opportunity for growth.

it is virtually impossible to make any money

I agree, it is very difficult for small accounts to receive rewards. Even most of the votes we are awarded evaporate into the largest stake holders accounts.! The same as it happens in all Communist States.

We can moan and grown about how much the situation sucks for ever, and it will not make things better at all lol

We need to focus on what we DO want, not what we don not want.

So let me ask you the question:

What positive changes do you want to see?
Lets talk about that and find ways of getting closer to making that happen.
