Thanks. Honestly there has been flak directed at Pizzagate, Steemsports, NSFW, and even anarchy & crypto. Any one of these dominating the front page can deter new sign ups. We're seeing new groups arrive and be active, Pizzagate is one of the latest and can be divisive, but shouldn't be singled out in the conversation. Diversification and growth of the user base are critical.
I also hope there are plans to begin organizing content more. Improving the tag system and mimicking a subReddit style structure as well as enabling creation of user groups would be great. People may look at the Steemit front page and be turned away by the content in present conditions. It would be much better if we could direct a friend or acquaintance to the front page of the community relevant to them on Steemit. I'm sure that many who have joined a site like Reddit did not do so for the site as a whole. They discovered a writers workshop, a photography club, or an online support group that compelled them to join and become active.
