Agreed. Then I found this post from @steemitblog addressing a few of our concerns..
"Many of these improvements take significant time and resources to investigate, design, develop, test, and deploy. We understand that you all want to be kept up to date with the latest progress, but there are many competing factors when providing the community with frequent updates..
..We may not always communicate publicly about every challenge we face, but you can rest assured that we are actively working to resolve all issues as quickly as possible."
Now this may or may not reach people in a genuine way. I still don't know how I feel about it to be honest. Reading the responses and interactions between some of the most influential people I know on the platform including @ned, this is at least out in the open and being addressed.
The game is afoot and we shall soon see.. hold on to your hats friends!
I have seen this post and a couple more from the powers that be.
And today we had a new UI.
New UI same shit. Laggy and unresponsible site.
Let's hope they get their shit together.
If they don't , I am ( we are ? ) getting my little baskets and go to another beach as we say here in Greece.
Simple as that. :)
For me hope is empty, it's only new action that creates change. I'll be here doing my best to promote and clean up this beach until it succeeds or the majority witnesses decide to move to a new improved beach.
The only thing I'd point out is that there is no precedence for this type of beach, there is no alt, there is no competition and as such we make the best of what we got (right?). I've done enough research and digging around tech side that I am aware of the challenges and personally I feel that this is and has always been the forward leading edge in reward based decentralized social media.
The rest of the field is far faaar behind and we as a community are far greater and stronger than the challenges we face and albeit the chain we exist on. That's my tough love, if you want to put it this way.
What Steemit Inc needs most right now is our love and support. If those who can't do that then perhaps this really ain't the right beach for them, they should look for somewhere else or build their own and see how it goes on their own.
The true value of STEEM is the community that use it imho. 💚💯
It's a warm and cozy beach and I am curious to find out how it will be in a year. :)
