I don't think you're a hater but also don't think Steemit is dooooomed of course, you're entitled to your own opinion. I see you've been on here almost as long as i have. What digs, why won't we survive?

First off, I don't think block chain technology is 'the web' 3.0 (or is that 2.0? ).
It has it's uses.
It's not the next wheel.
Digital technology and the internet was that 'next wheel'.
Secondly, I'm not convinced that social media - as we know it today - will even be around in 10 or 15 years.
To say it's 'still finding it's legs', is an understatement.
(steem was my first real foray into social media)
Social media is a strange animal, and may well be seen as a 'blip' in the journey of the internet, rather than the way things are going. A sort of distraction, fueled by decadence, that lasted a few years.
The political pendulum is swinging away from progressive lefty politics, and this place is a progressive enclave, from top to bottom.
As culture shifts, the left leaning companies will be left behind, high and dry. (we see it now with the left leaning online news media, closing down).
Investors will shy away from such left leaning places.
Management with a leftist ideology are not places people want to put their money into. They are not run well.
As the cultural pendulum swings, virtue signalling lefty companies are gonna be laughed at, reminded of their past, and maybe even ostracized.
Just my take on it.
Hopefully I'm very wrong, I would have no problem with that - but I do have a knack of understanding the big picture and seeing social trends, pretty accurately.
If my view is correct, steem will need such a paradigm shift, and I do not think it's possible, not with the way things are right now.
It's about politics, not technology.
