From what I have heard and seen Steemit has had problems and will always have problems. I expect the problems to get much worse as the user base grows. If we get big like Facebook 90% of new users will probably never even earn 1 Steem unless the inflation rate goes up.

Yeah, when the masses get here it will be very difficult to earn a steem, and very expensive to buy enough stake to have influence.
Which, no doubt, will get compained about.
It also explains why i never see steem over 20usd, if it can get that high.
Nobody pays that to reward others.
But, i dont see it going to zero, either.
If Steem goes to $20 then official payouts would be higher. I think there is a potential for a run in Steem. I can see it being valued at $1,000 per Steem in 10 years unless EOS is able to take over.
Ok, but pardon me if im skeptical.
Yeah hopefully I can help make it happen but I am also skeptical.
