RE: WHY ARE SOME OF STEEMIT BEST WRITERS LEAVING? ARE YOU FEELING IGNORED? WHAT CAN WE DO TO INCREASE RETENTION OF CREATIVE WRITERS? DO WE HAVE ROOM FOR SIMPLE SOCIAL POSTS? HOW CAN WE BALANCE BETWEEN SOCIAL MEDIA AND CREATIVE CONTENT?

@joseph - here's a few simple questions. Because to answer our concerns we first must understand what the goals of the steemit dev team as well.

1- Are we looking to own a niche market? - i.e., creative writers/anarchists/cryptop-enthusiasts

2- Are we looking to expose steemit to as much mass appeal as possible?

If the answer is yes to #2 - then how do we create an environment that caters both to the simple "hey look at me" interaction that drives other social media AND also still have a place for creative content providers. Ex. - maybe a users blog page becomes more of a main profile page for simple interaction/notifications in addition to finding their posts there.

If the answer is yes to #1 - Well we can probablydon't have to change much and can continue the current progress being we are already in the niche as described.

Get #1 done first then worry about #2. Facebook dominated colleges before the grandma she got on there.

Agreed - that's the recipe to nearly all large success. Master a niche and then expand out from there. The niche will always be a reliable core at that point.
