Funny you mention that, Litecoin does not have the same blockchain size problem as bitcoin does.
I'm not anti-LTC or thinking it's going to die, but this isn't really telling the whole truth. If litecoin had been around as long as bitcoin, and had the same number of transactions, then it would have an even larger blockchain, because it would have 4x as many blocks with the same number of total transactions. It also doesn't address the block size limit that has recently become an issue for bitcoin, because even though the blocks come four times as fast, I believe the block size limit is twice as small, so in theory litecoin can only accept 2x as many transactions per second/minute/day/etc. If litecoin were to go ahead and before bitcoin and implement some kind of dynamic block size limit (a la cryptonotes/monero), then that would be a feature that would actually distinguish LTC from BTC, but at the moment I don't think smaller blockchain size because of shorter lifetime and less transactions is really a distinguishing feature worth pointing out.
I'm sorry I should have elaborated or picked more correct words. I mean that we do not have the block size issue that Bitcoin does from my understanding. The blockchain size as I incorrectly worded isnt that much of an issue considering that there are things like Electrum out there.
Litecoin will die because nothing is being done to promote it to the general public
I mean look at this website
https://litecoin.orgIt stills says copyright 2014, its cold and sterile, the average person wouldn't give more than a 2 second look at it.
Compare it to ubuntu.com which manages to wrap a open source OS into something more friendly and inviting, i.e less "nerdlike".
Litecoin.org is owned and controlled by the developers, where Litecoin.com is owned and controlled by the LA (recently launched). Perhaps you should check it out

The problem with Litecoin is there are too many coins out there.
It is not worth more than $1 when you can choose many new altcoins with better features than Litecoin.
I'm not anti-alt by any means what so ever, but you are talking about the difference between real world acceptance and day traders playing pump and dump all day long with coins who are the ones using these "features" to pump prices. Here is a hint for you and others, being 3+ years established is worth far more than "features". Litecoin is still the second most accepted crypto behind Bitcoin. Dogecoin being the third and I believe DASH is the fourth in terms of merchant adoption.

well ltc is better then btc and btc is 200 odd USD
agree that ltc promotion needs a kick in the pants, but you don't have to leave it upto LA etc, any holder, miner, fan is free to promote
problem with all crypto communites, every holders bitches about their crypto struggling but 99% expect someone else to do something about it.
Yes please, I need the help and a break! lol
