Sorry for the late reply. Couldn't yesterday.

Many are focusing on the tribes as they see it as a way to earn more than they would posting for steem ( but then they sell for steem)

I haven't really sold mine. Most are worthless at this point so i really don't see the point.

Many will get fed up and start to explore and go to cent and purplishox but then they will realize, it isn’t easy anywhere, it’s not supposed to be or it wouldn’t be sustainable.

Lol, i have learned the hard way that steem is the real deal.

Many aren’t even posting what they really want to post I realize

That's where tribes come in. When we have more specialized tribe it won't matter what you want to discuss because you can earn doing that.
