RE: If only Ned Scott would have been dealt with Steemit's marketing decently, things might have been different...

Growing? More and more content creators are coming in, but almost (or literally) no content consumers, and many content creators are leaving. There is almost no user retention. Nowadays I have 1037 followers on the Steem blockchain, but most of them are inactive nowadays. They left Steemit (and the Steem blockchain) long (months, maybe more than one year) ago. I would not call this "growing". Nowadays I see quite the opposite on Steemit. Nowadays I (and many other people) do not even use it Steemit, but we will see. Maybe the things will really soon change around Steemit.
