As services grow larger, it is always a bit less of a community. The old Twitter felt like Steemit does now, where everyone knew each other or at least were familiar with most of the people due to seeing their posts everyday. These days it feels nothing like that, which is kind of too bad.
I suppose Steem has to go that way too. It's just how things work out. I'm looking forward to seeing where things go next.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and observations :)
