We've been at this state now for a year or two, that's enough of time to see that this isn't working and we need changes. You want to stay in this state and keep the few thousands we have, while we're not really gaining, but others are aware that we don't have unlimited time for a window, where Steem can actually become a success.

Also, what we have is few thousand content creators, but how many real readers for that content do we have? Don't include commenters that are there just for upvotes or trying to build their own profile.

Maybe it is time to think on how we start attracting people to this place, who actually don't want to earn but find and read content just for their own enjoyment.
