Thanks For the Reply!
Yeah I've heard a few people tell me similar things.

I guess many people are easily pulled in (like me) because its extremely hard to get a paying post these days on steemit.

Im curious to discuss how we can make steemit back to the way it used to be - Can it ever be changed? Or is it's original vision lost to some degree?

I will make a post open to discuss this and Will send it here for others to participate - because I want (as im sure others are too) to explore ways we can make this more people powered.
