Has Steem ever been "great" before? Haha.. I think Steem has never really been great yet. But it has always been improving and will eventually be great.

I think the key problem here is the complexity of using Steem platform. There are just too much to learn and living in a fast-paced world, most people just want an easy platform to use.

Having a reward system is both a blessing and a curse. The expectations have to be set right and users cannot expect Steem to be a reliable source of income. If not, they will be disappointed and will stop posting.

Also, the 7 day window for getting upvotes is too short. This encourages frequent but less quality posts. This is good, but we need quality content as well. We need a diverse range of content to attract all sort of users to this platform. So I think the rewards window should be perpetual, like YouTube for example.

Overall, I think we need more dApps that abstract the reward system and complexity of Steem and hide them from users. That might be the way to go to get more users on Steem without them even knowing
