man where are you getting these stats from? Traffic is actually way, way up, just look at the charts here: https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/steemit.com Until september, the traffic was increasing. True, it's stable for the past weeks, but it will go up again, don't worry!
The problems you describe are definitely true, hopefully they will be fixed in the coming days. As for the steem price don't worry, all altcoins are going way way down. Steem has actually managed to hold its' place somehow!Once the btc forks are over and the btc price stabilizes they will start going up again :)
tip!
These are from @me-tarzan.
As you can see they only represent new traffic. I'm sure regular traffic isn't as bad but I just have a feeling everything overall has started to decline lately. I hope it starts to go back up again.
Thanks for the comment.
