Compared to 2018, where it took all year to get to HF20, only to have Steemit Inc. let go most of its workforce, 2019, with all of its under-the-hood improvements, new Steemit management, improved communication, getting back to SMTs and Communities after two more HFs, and the EIP, which essentially did away with bidbots and increased the amount of curation trails (if not curation and auto curation as a whole), I think you're right. Things are looking better. I don't know if that holds true for everyone, but I feel it does for me, and I've not done anything other than post, comment and manually curate what I can.

So, hopefully that does get noticed.
