Thank you so much for elucidating on this!
I did disagree with one thing...
"Technology acceptance takes years. And it takes decades for the new to become the mainstream."
I believe this "acceptance" only requires reaching the tipping point. As we observed with the facebook takeover, this only took a few years before myspace was left a ghost town.
It's about creating the sexy UI and implementing many of the issues you are bringing up. I pray that this platform will thrive as it was intended, but it's going to take a lot of change. I'm here and present to contribute what I can to this evolution. Time will tell if this can be viable in the long run for our most exquisite visions of possibility!

I discussed technology in the sense of a new paradigm. Facebook instead of the forum or chan. Plain paper copying instead of lithography, Youtube instead of the lecture hall.
The prospects of change are better within a space — within a paradigm.
A few changes can improve the platform quite a bit. They simply are not being made . . . If you know programmers what want to work together to solve some of these issues . . . bring them into a conversation like this one.
Everyone is waiting for other people to solve problems . . . and that leads to issues in the logic of collective action. And then not much is done.
Indeed the same Steemit without the trending page and a delegation to new users that lapses after three months, something that simple, would be a major improvement, I think. It's simply not being done.
Do you agree?
I do. I think the trending page could be great, however, if it was better curated.
