Earning STEEM will be harder and harder in the future. That's just the way it is. The Inflation is fixed (and getting lower each year) and more and more projects will compete over the pool, plus investors will have way more option to invest with STEEM besides upvoting content creators.
A price increase will go along way of stabilizing things for bloggers but the real solution is in SMT's. I'm happy they are still on the table.
I think this would make a good subject for a vlog.
