I Am Guilty

I came on Steem to do art and build a community. I didn't want to create one, I figured that there were better artists out there and people with the knowledge to build it up. I simply wanted to find others with similar interests and ideas, to share with them. I remember not that long ago that there was an excitement to log on here. Then something changed. I have noticed it for a while and like many, I began writing less. I opted for other, more social and active websites. I haven't been on here in a couple of months and I return to see that Steem is still this sort of barren landscape on the internet.

Who to Blame?

Of course... we all want to blame someone... something...

But is there really anyone to blame?

Is there really a downhill spiral here on Steem that is causing the whole concept to lose steam? Is this is a temporary dip or have people just gone elsewhere? Is there another platform that offers the same hope and excitement that was here when Steem first started?

I am not looking to point fingers. I am looking to rekindle that flame. Mainly because I thought this whole site was a great idea. I miss the community and the people talking. I miss the debates, the art, the new bands I would find and many other things...

Suggestions

Perhaps I am simply looking in the wrong place or navigating this site poorly. I am not going to argue with anyone that says that perhaps my own lack of motivation is user error. Am I doing something wrong? If you know of any active pages on here, posters of interest that still hang out on the block chain or anything else that maybe I could be doing to increase activity on here... I am all ears.

In the mean time... I don't know... I figured posting something was good. Maybe someone will take notice.

Thanks for reading :)
