You might be right, and I do see that playing a role in the lack of interaction. What do you think are some solutions to this issue? I would like to see reputation score being based on interaction rather than the value of rewards on posts. I want to see new people coming in to the community but the lack of interaction may discourage people from participating long term. I am willing to invest my own money, if I think that things will improve over the years.

The lack of interaction will cause people to leave.
If the developers can get Steemit to be as friendly as Facebook and as easy as Coinbase it will shoot to outer space and beyond!
I watched a guy who had a rep of 44 flag my friend's geoengineering posts. It grayed them out. It also made my friend's reputation score get lower.
Because 44 doesn't think Solar Radiation Management is real, he was able to bully and damage my friend's reputation and posts. (My friend had a lower rep than him.)
I also saw a whale take out a lotto guy because he didn't agree with the way the lotto guy structured his daily posts. Personally, I was having fun meeting people over there on lotto guy's posts. He was bullied by a whale and taken out completely.
That is two people I've seen harmed when they weren't doing anything wrong. So there is a real problem there.
I don't have a solution other than for the programmers to make it more friendly and easy for the masses.
Yes, that would be a dream come true to have the mass adoption of users.
I don't make a habit of downvoting or flagging content as I see no reason in it really other than perhaps maybe a post is overvalued and I came into this seeing a lot of the same people generating most of the reward pool. I also don't agree with bullying on the platform as this should be a peaceful community where folks share ideas and come together to raise awareness on important topics, not just cryptocurrencies in general.
I would love to have a conversation with one of the witnesses about these issues and maybe they could come up with a solution that would help everyone.
