I am very grateful for your reply - you are the first person to have been attentive - I have written in very supportive tones about all of Steemit. There is huge potential! It is, however, potential. I am not throwing baseless complaints - on the occasion that I did suggest there was a problem I received a swarm of thank yous for saying what they did not know where to send the self-same issue. I received 34 upvotes in about 10 minutes - yes, some could have been automated but I do not have 34 followers. There are now 43 upvotes! My suggestion here is that there is not the capacity on the platform to cope. My alert icons do not work, I cannot power up, my passwords are all over the place and my permissions are like a confused octopus trying on shoes.
If 100,000 people joined Steemit tomorrow the negative media chat would be like the worlds biggest avalanche. I am trying to be helpful in a tide of 'yes men and women'. Standards matter! If you have seen my post about it being up to us and if you have seen my being accused of being belligerent for asking 2 questions, then I hope you would see that my motives are nothing other than value adding.
I am an experienced manager of international companies at the upper end of your age demographic. I am not some snotty moaner with a victim to find!
