Is it important to have a high number of people if you like you say you and the rest of the community only come to steemit to drop a post?

I agree with you that we can only connect if we talk to another, but how else can we show interest and start a conversation if we never read to another? if that's the case we all stay in our own little space and will never spill a word.

I am not so sure if the most important thing in a person's life is a diary. To me a diary should be very personal and not brushing teeth and polishing shoes and taking a nap for the 3rd time today while I wait for the next meal being served. I wouldn't share my worries here, nor in my diary, since no one is interested, and paper might be patient, but people are not. Besides, the idea that everyone can make a copy of Steemit and start a new platform is also not something I am flattered by (sounds like plagiarism since no one gave permission to take it all).

I believe if it comes to the question, what is the best for Steemit, it is quality (Who would pay for what is posted here?) and investors, since that is what Steemit is about.

Who knows there can be a third aspect like gaming, more fun, but it will take a very long time to achieve that.
