Steemit, these days, feels a lot like a community in the aftermath of a really bad storm.
I make this observation as someone who has been through quite a few of those.
There's this odd feeling of "quiet resignation," underlying the more superficial feelings of... outrage and dejection and various other things.
No doubt, we have all been buffeted on the stormy seas of a fickle crypto market... and perhaps had the ubiquitous question of "Is this a bubble?" answered in spades.
What's in the maze?
But nobody's actually dead, and in the aftermath of storms, there are also opportunities. Chances to restructure and rebuild.
Of course, some people move away. The stormy weather is too much for them, and they say "I'm not having any more of this!"
Others snap up cheap real estate and rebuild.
But before that... there's a period where everything just seems very quiet and people are just sitting around considering the reality that "that just happened..."
Seems a lot of people are doing that, here, these days.
I wonder what will happen next?
What do YOU think will happen next? Who stays, who leaves? What will become of this community? If I understand Ned's words correctly, the Social Content angle is pretty much a "throwaway." Leave a comment-- share your experiences-- be part of the conversation!
