Despite the "decentralization" of social media bragging rights, it's going to come down to those with the greatest amount invested sitting comfortable at the top taking the time to listen to each other and agree on a game plan. Which is in fact a very centralized concept. But also very necessary. I've had accounts respond to me when I tried suggesting more centralized decision making for the good of the site respond with the typical crypto-koolaid answers of "decentralization is my personal Jesus and messing with that is blasphemy." But this site is already very centralized it's just a fairly ineffective centralization because they might be pros at how crypto works but seem to be lacking the vision on how to make it appeal to the masses.
 The thing is, this site is no longer the only social media crypto platform around and there will be plenty more looking at everything that is being done wrong here so that they can put together the next great thing that does it right and turns Steemit into Myspace. (Which at this point would be an upgrade but you get the idea =p)  
Those sitting around moaning waiting for "whales" to come: have you ever thought that those with large amounts of money to invest have half a brain and can look at this site and notice egregious problems that keep them from investing in it?
So here goes, I'm going to tag the community leaders with the power to take this site to the "next great thing"
@timcliff  @aggroed @ausbitbank @jackmiller @guiltyparties @curie @yabapmatt @pfunk @themarkymark @ocd-witness @kevinwong @c0ff33a @enginewitty @c-squared @followbtcnews
Not an all-inclusive list just those I have noticed doing things that I construe as "leadership"
