@tipu ¡tip this encouraging post. I like their line of thought. Seeing Steemit as a marketing channel and not as a way to milk the Reward Pool. Some where I read that Ethereum went through a 90% manpower reduction too, in the past. Not sure if it is fake news.
But what really worries here is the lack of planning and foreseeing the bullet coming through. Vision and leadership is missing as well as managing and execution
There is Steemit.inc the startup with @ned as the CEO, and then there is Steem Blockchain the community; which is decentralized and has all the amazing community members such as yourself.
Hopefully, we can offer our expertise to help the Steem blockchain and its community to take the step forward.
