This answer is easy and not subjective.
No, Steem the blockchain is not broken, it keeps moving forward every 3 seconds, it is allocating new Steem exactly the way it is programmed, based on the reward pool calculations and our votes.
It is actually functioning beautifully and we still have plenty of witnesses willing to run it.
Steem is fine.
What we tell ourselves and others about Steem might be broken.
Revitalize Steem
It's been a rough bear market and although we have made it through it is time to focus on understanding what Steem is and where we are going.
@justineh is currently asking people to consider their vision regarding Steem, this week we will be going through the answers and working on some clear communication of the vision. This is the last call to add your view to the vision. https://steemit.com/dtube/@justineh/u6qoydvy, watch the video and add your vision! We will be going through them this week.
The Vision gives us the ability to focus our efforts and resources on the things that support the vision and becomes the starting place for Marketing and Promotion, Development and More
Why Worry About a Vision?
All Activities Should Support the Vision.
Marketing:
It helps to define: Who is our target market, where are they, how do we reach them, what will we say to them...?
Development
It also acts as a filter for development projects: Does this move us towards our Vision? This is is a great filter to determine what to work on.
Community Focus:
It keeps both the community and the stakeholders focused on what we are doing and why.
Let's not confuse decentralization with disorganization. People with similar goals are free to work together and cooperate to achieve a goal!
@whatsup,
STEEM never breaks, it's evolving lol :D I wish it's price also evolve too!
Cheers~

I like what you said here and I remember Meno and his talks of community and vision as a definite need for Steem to move forward.

I think we need to reach the regular non-crypto people who are interested in the social media aspect of Steem. There are a lot of types out there on the internet and a lot of them are getting fed up with the traditional social media sites and all the bullshit that comes with them. Now is a great time to offer an alternative.
The crypto people will come (or come back) when the market improves so I don't know if they need to be marketed to in the same way that the normals do.

I totally agree that we need to make our push towards mainstream. I also think it is good news that we know for sure we can do that.

I dont think Steem is broken, but I want to know why? from anyone who thinks it is broken. Steem is just doing what the powers involved want it to do which I hope means to be making them sustainable and growing income.

We are doing as we are supposed to do. Only thing we need is increase the momentum of what we are doing. A great post is written by @taskmaster4450 already on this subject with facts from steem blockchain

(Steemit) Yes for me it is not working still without a VPN. And VPN takes security problems with itself. Because I am not connecting with steemit directly.
This is not my vision but this is the most rational and valuable article and vision i ve ever seen about steem and steemit. Very good point of view. Very good explanation. Agree with him %99.9

This is great but the actionable items are being limited by the few that are actually executing. I include myself in those that should do more but struggle to find ways on how. It is tough to go part time on what needs to happen here.

If we want them to get involved we have to paint a picture of what and why.
It is my belief that they aren't participating because it feels to messy and there is no direction.

so that would be a mobile version of the steemit.com frontend? that would exist alongside esteem and partiko
seems to me that resources would be better directed to upgrading steemit.com .. and from what steemit inc has said.. that is coming.
