Awesome thoughts. I just wrote a much more rambling and meandering post about some of those very things today. It blows me away how little new content I am seeing on the platform these days despite the huge amount of development that has been going into it. The value of Steem is much more real today than when I joined Jan of 2018 even though my account doesn't necessarily reflect that value. It is encouraging to know that others with much more stake in the system are going through the same emotions a lot of us midrange account holders are.
