The popularity of steam already decreased a lot. It looks like rather than steem and im still prefer to use another platform just like 0x platform.
Im not having a lot of negativities to the steem platform but it looks like that we must move to the new platform that offers better things than steem.
It's placed at 80th of CMC.
It is explained easily why Steemit popularity is decreasing a bit. Unfortunately, there is very little content that would not concern earnings on Steemit or discussions about cryptocurrency on the platform itself. In the Trending and Hot tabs alone, posts about the social network are predominantly published. In addition, bots started to "like" posts and comments. However, it will work for long as I see.
Steemit is one of the pioneer project for social network/blogging on the blockchain. It do have flaws and it and its competitor are learning from them. This might not be the ultimate solution but it has proved that the model works. We need more such blockchain based services which are both decentralized and has a way to curb spams.
