Less Articles on STEEM, Opportunity For You!
I have seen today an article about the decreasing number of daily posts published on the STEEM blockchain. It was written by @happyvoter and you can find it here. I will not just copy/paste the article, but I would like to drop a few thoughts on this topic.
In general, I agree with the author that we can't blame the last hard fork for a lower number of posts, but we have to admit that it played its role. But, as we have free downvotes on the #NewSTEEM (and a lot of the people use them in a good way), a lot of SPAM content has been downvoted and I suppose that some of the creators stopped to publishing them. So, that can be another reason for less content...
And also, I agree that probably the main factor is actually the price of STEEM... As the price is going down, those values at the end of your posts are smaller and smaller and it can be very demotivating... A lot of creators are waiting to price go up to start building again...
Maybe just two years ago, I was doing the same mistake... When the price of coins went up, I would buy them... When the price goes down, I would sell them... or HODL them... I was "accumulating" coins when the price was going up?!?! I wouldn't call that accumulation... It's more like throwing the money through the window... lol
So, don't be me from the past. :) NOW is the time for creating content and for accumulating STEEM and Tribe tokens... Accumulating has a sense when the price is low...
And regarding content creation... A lot of big content creators have stopped building content, or they are doing it more rarely... NOW is your moment to fill those holes in the content!
Less content on the STEEM > less competency > better visibility > more upvotes
PS. I have succeeded to publish posts 7 days in a row and I'm very proud of that. This is my favorite badge now! :)

Thanks for a really great post @ph1102, and you are right on point now is the time to build, and especially with lesser posts that means the same rewards go to fewer posts and more rewards to each of them, plus the fact that once it turns around you have a really nice wave to ride rather than having to catch up if you wait, it's awesome.
This post is AWESOME!
It has therefore got a manual 100% upvote from @thisisawesome, for the Awesome Daily Upvotes in category CTPtalk, I give out 1 such vote in that category per day, plus 3 more in other categories, and your post will also be featured in todays Awesome Daily report for more visibility.
The goal of this project is to "highlight Awesome Content, and growing the Steem ecosystem by rewarding it".
Oh, yes... You have nailed it... I share the same opinion... I hope that we will surf and riding the wave soon... :)
Thanks @ph1102, and keep on creating awesome posts.
Now is not a time to panic. The price will be wherever it lands at. We only need to keep doing what we are doing. All those not creating are only hurting themselves. While we, on the other hand, are moving ahead. When steem bounces back, we will be ready and ahead of the curve.
It's silly to waste time here and not create/curate. Which is better gaining steem at 12 cents or not gaining any because the price is too low?
And not just because of the money... Now is a great moment for creating new connections... Those who are creating/cyrating now are thise who will lead tomorrow...
Another great post :) they need every day if the month badge ;)

Sometimes it's really hard to sit down and write... I won't lie... But, show must go on!
Keep pushing!
Big mistake... Because the numbers showed as pending payout are NOT STEEM and are NOT USD. The actual amount is something in between (we can calculate it), but certainly higher in received STEEM right now. If STEEM price goes up in the future, or if it will be dropped as a reward token altogether, these easily received STEEM will count a lot.
Totally agree... If you are showing the support when the times are hard, you will be much more appreciated when good times come... ;)
the hard fork has played a role for sure. I know a number of folks that have backed off of blogging due to the hard fork.
Yes, it is... hard fork + price = perfect storm... But, for someone it is "the end of the world", for us it should be a big opportunity!
Thanks a lot, and I am so glad I did find this one to read. Thx a lot
Thank you for your kind words! Anyway, I saw that you don't write too much on CTPTalk, but you have a lot of potential...
