It would be great to get back some of those who left for whatever reasons. The experience has improved in the last couple of years. I think a combination of Steem Keychain and Steempeak is pretty good.
I keep trying to recruit people with little success. Some may think it's a scam and others are put off by the complexity. We need more pioneers to build up the quality content.
I really want to use Steempeak, but I just can't get it to load at my office. It is something with our content filter blocking it because of adult content and I am hesitant to go around it. The last thing I need is someone looking at the logs and asking me why I was going to a site that was blocked for adult content. I will just keep using Busy.
I can access Steemit and Steempeak at work even though they block many sites, but I don't log in as it could possibly get me into trouble. I use eSteem on my phone instead.
