Hi Stef.

It's true, many users don't leave their circle of friends or community; in fact, spammers can usually be found outside of communities, using tags where no one can mute them, and with which they can garner some important votes.

Games have a significant audience, but for those with little free time, it's unimportant, which is normal.

Steem is increasingly facing competition and has become more unstable than usual. Justin has done a good job with Tron, but he's falling short of Steem. We hope he can regain prominence soon.

I'm not sure if some alliances are doing Steem good or simply harming it.

Thank you for sharing your perspective with us.
