I feel like it's really obvious that if the comment nesting problem is fixed, as well as introducing maybe just a few genuine UI improvements, plus maybe a chat, or other "new feature", and then market the heck out of it, I bet Steemit would easily take off.
I think the size of Steemit is really nice right now. It's perfect for beta testing, right? Enough users to see how the system works, but not so much that if it crashes, loads of users will lose their income or go bankrupt.
All it needs is a little, or big push, and I think it'd become very robust and happily used.
With the next hardfork, the comment depth limit increases from 6 to 255.
Whaaaaat???
Really!? That's amazing!
Yessssss, that's a major upgrade to me, because I looooove having crazy discussions and debates in the comments. Heheh.
