Have you gone through some of his comments?it's pathetic to see how he represents himself as a CEO of steemit. You are already a big user and you don't know the problem of new users at all. when you want to drive new users without fixing many problems here this platform will only grow as no. of registered users not as no. of active users...

Why do users only need steemit? smart users still monetize their social media in many ways, while other regular user just use it as social media and they are not using it for money.
But here when you advertize your product as a form of monetary platform and users won't get what you are spreading over the internet they find this just another scam ..nothing more.I have already seen some of the bigger names joining and leaving the platform because they were not satisfied at all...

We have over half of our users active every week which is amazing! We certainly are not perfect which is what makes our lives interesting! @ned is just a regular guy like the rest of us and I am happy we can see that here. What is amazing is our collective contributions on this website which have made steemit.com a top 1000 website within 2 years globally.

Yes some have came all excited and left in frustration. Many will come back as Steem grows. I help as many new authors as I can get started which now numbers in the thousands I have upvoted, resteemed, etc. @minnowsupport has many more working together for the same as do other communities like @ocd.

I feel hurt and frustrated with what I see sometimes on Steem also. What brings me back is the love for our community. We are like family here and creating huge value.

Just remember how the same community treated you and gave a tag of scamer to you and sheep to your followers. And by the way I am one of that sheep as they say lol.
May be you didn't see that thread where Ned has clearly hinted that Investors are the only real contributors and how he doesn't care about other users in his eyes, and that's the CEO of Steemit for you.
