Wrong. Steemit is failing to thrive because people post trash nobody cares to read or engage with and the team is failing to develop and market the platform. There is also no reason to buy or hold Steem, but PLENTY of reasons not to.

You as an individual or specialized groups won't be able to control quality of content from my experience that is up to the market.
People who have a lot of money invested in this site should be thinking longterm instead micromanaging members and content. There are a lot of very smart people involved in building this site, but they may not be smart in managing people.
It is difficult to market something that says it's decentralized social media site that content creators can earn money through interaction. When in reality the only thing on this site that is decentralized is the blockchain. The social site built on top of the blackchain is quickly becoming totalitarian in its nature.
Regarding marketing, this only addresses attracting new users, but does not addresses keeping the new users and older more seasoned users that are great content producers, curators, and cheerleaders.
Edit, one more definition, I love being on the same page.
2nd edit...another thought, the only way I've seen that creates deep and wide wealth distribution that everyone benifits from in a decentralized way is growing a large middle class. The fun part will be figuring out how to grow healthy robust dolphin pods!
3rd edit because we are 6 deep in comments
ok how about all that thrash that gets thrown in the gutter every day because nobody read it, I can name hundreds of posts that have made less than a buck for quality reads, stories or whatever, nobody saw them the writers left.
I agree on the platform last UI update was a go fund yourself south park episode :D I'm going to overhaul the whole Steemit experience hopefully before the hard fork, but still there is a dire need for updates.
And once again having that Power and on the other hand taking 3 months to get to 200-300 like me is kind of annoying, most people would give up when they see a million and wen they get curation "rewards" after 2 months of voting that read 0.001 STEEM for a 150$ post :|
Curation should be there so users can pick up and learn while earning steem in the process.
@reddust Steem never has been, and likely never will be "decentralized". Sounds like you've been misled.
Edit: Someone doesn't understand the difference between "decentralized" and "decentralization", @reddust.
