Wow I never thought I'd hear you say that! I've also reached the end of road with any optimism after our jaunt to Steemfest 2. The powers at be showed a complete disregard for any concerns raised. I raised my concerns about the downvoting and flagging and was laughed or sneered at by top developers and even a few of the very nice people I met there. I took animal farm the novel with me to the fest as a reminder of my intentions to gain faith is what I saw and a flawed experiment. I left portugal disillusions. I powered down a week or so after getting home. Where are the communities? The quick log ins? Things that were so basic and promissed within weeks. I think the brains behind the whole project left quite a long time ago and when his new projects launch we'll see steemit vapourise into... steam. And I'm sad about that thought... meanwhile I did discover something at steemfest that made me upbeat. Appics. They might be what steemit could have been.
