"nurture the existing community, focus on the user’s experience, attract more adopters" , exactly, these were always the things that were left to bootstrap community or goodwill groups, not to the core developers it seems.
I know little, but to me the future is probably not steemit, but some other STEEM blockchain related portal, or the entire menagerie of ways to interact on the STEEM blockchain properly packaged and delivered to users in a COOL and COHERENT manner.

Yeah, you're absolutely right. The community had to come together to try to address this issues, which shows that there's a lot of good people here. :)
Peace!
Have you given up on STEEM then?
No, I am just trying to make a point about what could've been to make sure that all this potential doesn't got to waste.
As I mentioned in the post, if regular websites with similar size and rank than steemit can generate an X amount in ad revenue, then there's no reason why steemit couldn't.
Sorry for the misunderstanding :)
