I think we're all just still scared from HF 20, which I maintain Steem/Steemit has never recovered from. That botched rollout cause a lot of people to leave, and a lot just never bothered to come back. I just want this to be a fast enough process that we don't have to deal with that again. I remember before 20 all kinds of new people were joining. Now I just don't see that happening any more.

You think all of that can be blamed on HF20? That's a bit much, IMO. Yes, the resource credit system had issues that needed time to work through. I had conversations with people to help explain what was going on at the time (such as "Steem Is Broken!?!" A Conversation with Sida of Partiko) and most people figured it out.
What really drove people away was the cryptomarkets tanking into a bear market that lasted for years. People were here for the rewards and the cryptocurrency hype in the news cycle. When that went away, so did the people who were here only for the rewards. See my post which goes into more detail on figuring out why you are here if you want to stay long term.
Don't you know the crypto bear market was my fault too?
Hahah
