"conflict is actually a driver of change" I've had that tucked into the back of my brain since I was whale attacked a month into the platform launch.....I'm back a year later and jumping into your bubble and will just focus on things in my direct control. I think Steemit will gain traction when Steemians start accumulating interesting and informative writers on their feeds... they will naturally continue to organically grow this ecosystem because their brains will know where to go to find the content it enjoys... at the moment Steemit is still about penny hustlers ...it will work it's way out in the wash..... just keep sharing good info.....
