The platform withers as those that would have sustained a viable one are disengaging day by day knowing that rampant abuse of its inherently flawed rewards structure continues unabated.
Steemit Inc and its CEO are asleep at the wheels, with no apparent commitment to resolving any of the site's evidently systemic problems.
The disengagement is happening just as one would expect it to. Even the steem white paper echoes the unendurable nature of the present situation: "Any imbalance in the give and take within a community is unsustainable. Eventually the givers grow tired of supporting the takers and disengage from the community."
