Dear @xpilar

I only had a chance to read your publication a moment ago. I wonder if you will still check out comment section. Perhaps you won't so I will keep it nice and short:

HF21 was indeed an earthquake and many of those who used to be present, are no longer with us. There isn't many new faces, but at least it seem that large group of loyal steemians is here to stay.

Downvote abuse is absolutely awful. It does force more and more users to abandon this platform and spread awful messages to the world about current state of this platform. And nothing can be done with it :(

I also think that many users were encouraged to read and comment, because they could be "rewarded" with their comment being upvoted. Which isn't the case any more. I personally liked idea of showing my appreciation to author of comment. Result: even less engagement is happening now.

What do you think about the year 2020

If SMT will be failure, then STEEM is ... done. That's my opinion. In case SMTs will be succesful then I would consider more interest coming back to our blockchain. Wouldn't you agree?

ps.
Thank you for your latest comment. Please check out also my recent post if you have few min (also related to my trip to Switzerland, just from more personal point of view):
