RE: Are SMT’s the carrot on the stick?
Man, I haven't been here since the early days (just joined in Jan 2018) but I can feel the subtle shift and changes. There is a certain hint/smell of corporatism in the air (mind you not capitalism but corporatism).
I am not saying that there aren't decent folks here because there are plenty. What I am worried about is the future or the path we have taken. There were promises in place when I came here but their delivery hasn't been yet achieved. Frankly, I have seen real estate constructions projects sometimes finish faster than this.
I am afraid that as we sit here scratching our asses other projects will take the mantle. There is a very good chance that other block chains might get it done quicker and before us.........
Very true. I have been eying a few of them, though they are not great, they are moving
Same here.

Which is such a shame, becuae one is here and rolling! And already has a following! I don't know if what I think it was ned said was correct, but, steemit is the 20th most visited page online? Something like that... (Seems a bit far-fetched now that I think about it).
BUT, hey, STEEM is still in the top 20 cryptos... But there are competitors. I use it pretty much daily, and try to tell friends and family about it (haven't been too successful there lol). It is a working, functioning ecosystem built with blockchain technology. It's the best of its kind (that I know of). Though like you said, "something's in the air..." SteemAuto has gone down "for maintenance.." It's kinda weird to think about what would happen if, for example, steemit did "die," or end--what would happen to all the data?? Kinda weird to consider (kinda creepy too!).
I didn't mean to come off as bad-mouthing ned or anyone for that matter--heck, he's done a lot more in business than I have achieved, but... No one likes a "flake" :( . That being said, as others have pointed out, ultimately, it's not Ned's or anyone elses's responsibility to keep steemit going, or whatever--or at least that was kind of the idea, I think. I have powered down in recent weeks. My hope was that the market would be swinging back up by that point, and I could finally "cash in" on a bit of my steem, but, to be honest, I'm not quite so sure where I'll be going. The next few weeks I think will be crucial.
