Interesting article; reality check; must be of concern for the likes of @stephenkendal who seems to be besotted with this software and has embarked on widespread marketing. One can only commend him for such an unilateral effort!
I would not expect much self diagnosis of Steemit's ills (so aptly enunciated by you) on this platform given the apparent self interest by (some) or (many)? for the apparent drift sideways.
As Steemit users/investors we need/require external commentary and analysis about .....Steemit. What are the alternatives? I am on SOLA, but it is primitive at this point.
No doubt this stuff exists. I know for example, Clif High has commented verbally of the efficacy of Steemit. Perhaps ura-soul or others can put up the links to others who have critiqued the platform as part of this thread?
I haven't read much commentary on Steemit from external sources for long time. In the early days a lot of the comments were negative, with accusations of ponzi / pyramid schemes. I'd say that those claims have been shown to be false in the pure/accurate sense - although as with offline economic systems, there is clearly a wealth pyramid involved here.
It would not take much to fix these problems in the system and it is that which is both a cause for concern and also a saving grace if acted on.
