RE: One Mission, Get People Here... Keep People Here
I was gonna powerdown two weeks ago. Then I powered up, bought more steem, got one of my @naturalmedicine folk in charge of the facebook account, wrote a daily post, curated, played on steem engine and told my mates about it. Wtf? I was leaving! Who am i kidding! Lol

hahaha! I acknowledge all of the time that I am addicted. That doesn't mean I am buying.
I will buy when I see us getting and keeping people.
Sometimes.. often.. i think we do two things wrong:
Its bloody confusing to navigate. You need a degree to get the ins and outs. I like this.. its fun, but others dont. I like the flux, the development, the ideas. Others just see.. ooh, i can earn from writing? Then find thats a lie.
It makes a promise about earnings that it cant keep. We know why this is, but i think the strength of this platform is community amd getting to know people. Look if you dont have any money and are trying to earn a buck sure, maybe this place is useless.. but if its ONLY cash you are here for Im not interested in you staying around anyway. I like writing and the connections made more than money. I dont get that on any other platform. Even when i post my poetry on Facebook.. my Mum might comment but 400 odd friends scroll past. Lol. Maybe i should pay them.
Yeah yeah I know all the other failings but to me they come under the other 2 points above.

@riverflows: I very much agree with your points.
It would be nice if there was a user’s manual or some such thing to help the new folk learn the environment. If it’s on steemit, no clue how to find it. If elsewhere, a signpost to it would be helpful. Of course, it’s probably been in my face the whole time and just didn’t see it ;)
Let me know if you need anything. It is very much learn as you go but there are lots willing to help. It IS frustrating. A manual WOULD help! The thing is its always changing which can be fun for us oldies on steem but confusing for newbies.
