RE: Where are all the Steem peeps at?
If you take a look at the wallet of those older “regular bloggers” you’ll see they didn’t leave Steemit at all. And perhaps those bloggers who have spent a huge amount of their time behind a screen to create blogposts ar now living the real life with real social interactions instead of interacting virtually from behind their safe computerdesk. It is all a matter of perspective. Real life interactions is still more valuable than constantly creating blogposts and interacting on Steemit with people from all over the world. Also most people came to this platform to blog because they could earn something with it. Now that everything is in the low it does not pay enough for those people to keep putting all the effort in blogging. If you take away the earning component I think most people think Steemit isn’t just as straghtforward to use as a lot of other social established platforms. Which are most of the time much easier to use. Also no one on other platforms are talking as much about the platform they are using themselves like the people on Steemit do. I always found it weird to read posts about why it is so calm on steemit, why it isn’t all fair on Steemit and so on. Never read things like that on Facebook,, Twitter, Reddit and so on. It is just something I notice on this platform only. People also tend to overly post blogpost several times a day. How is that considered quality??? Just a thought.
Agreed! "real life" trumps our virtual worlds every single time without question! I too, also take time away from this space to "recharge" and "detox". I think we all need it! As for the decline in interaction and activity because of price... well, as much as I wish people were not so easily swayed by the price drops, the reality is... they are.
And I agree with you regarding people who post several times a day... especially when it is just a picture with no real substance. It comes off really spammy in my opinion...
