Hey Nathan - I have immense respect for you and all that you are doing for Steem. I'm very sad to hear about your current feelings towards Steem, the community and the (not?) succeeding of #Seven77.
I really hope you can, as Asher already laid out in his comment above, see your 'numbers' in perspective. If only 5000 accounts post a day, of which maybe half are alt accounts or spammers, so 2500 real accounts are posting, and you get 650 of those to participate in #Seven77 you have done an INCREDIBLE job!
Seriously. That's not failing, that's succeeding.
Now I can't decide for you what you want to do with your time and how you want to spend it and when you feel like you were successful. I just really feel you were REALLY successful.
I know you don't expect me to explain myself for why I don't participate on #Seven77 daily, but I want you to know there are many reasons why I believe a person chooses to not participate, some are about the possibility of getting/not getting a job, having online stalkers that you don't want to get extra clues about where you live, feeling depressed and not being able to participate daily, or just even the simple reason that 'only one minute' sounds like nothing, but it's still a minute on top of things a person already chooses to do with their day. There's only so many 'only a minute' things you can do in a day.
That's not about you, not the passion of the Steem community, that's just numbers and complexities of life.
Summary: In my view #Seven77 is a huge success, and the fact that the numbers are stagnating can have many many reasons that will never be fully understood.
Much love,
Rosanne
I fully agree!
I like viral initiatives, but not every initiative is for everyone and I f.e. won't do this one because I don't care about twitter and won't make a video about me doing anything.
Agree, totally. I like the idea of helping promote Steemit but I don't do Twitter and much more no videos of myself doing something like push-ups.
What she said! ⬆
Hi @nathanmars
I'm sorry to hear of your mood and feelings towards Steem and the community today and would like to say a few things to try to encourage you and put the seven77 movement into perspective.
Yesterday, 5310 different authors made a top level post on Steem.
I am willing to say that conservatively, half of the accounts that posted are alternate personal accounts or community accounts - I posted from 3 accounts yesterday, and know of at least 3 other members who posted with at least two accounts.
Secondly, of those that are individuals here on Steem, many do not wish to share their identity in a video, or tie any other social media to their Steem account.
Thirdly, we have to account for people without twitter accounts, or without the technology /data+bandwidth/ understanding to record and upload a video to Twitter each day.
For these reasons, I believe that the fact you have gotten around 650 people to take part in the seven77 movement is an amazing result, and you should be proud of this fact. #seven77 has easily been the biggest drive of engagement on a social media network, promoting Steem, outside of Steem.
I wish you well, whatever you decide to do and want to thank you for driving Steem forward.
Asher
@abh12345
This makes so much sense to me, especially
And I said as much to @nathanmars on Twitter. I admire his commitment and tenacity and what he has achieved. At the risk of seeming patronising and using cliches: Rome wasn't built in a day, and different strokes for different folks.
And, Nathan, I join Asher in wishing you well, whatever you decide to do. Should you go, Steemit will be the poorer.
Thanks for the reply @fionasfavourites
I'm glad to hear Nathan has heard similar already, his effort has been huge and i can understand the feeling of dejection and tiredness when you put so much into something and the results are not as you wish.
As above though, I think the reasons are out of our control, and feel that what has already been achieved is worth celebrating.
Sometimes cliches like the ones above help to give focus.

While I love that you are doing some outreach. I am NEVER doing push ups on Twitter.
Make your own choices. I support the tweets, but that's as far as it goes for me.
Also I don't respond well to threats.
But Please try and just post something about steem so that we can get steem to trending on twitter and I know when steem get on trending it will be a big thing for steem because it will be discuss accross the world
Real entrepreneurs don't quit where they see potential, they're patient. That's why I'm not afraid you're leaving. I may be wrong...
On the other hand... seven77 movement is BIG! Maybe not as big as you want it but it's big. Some people are having a hard life and working all day and then they have their own steem profile to take care of and maybe don't have time for twitter. Some of them don't know about Twitter....
At the end of the day, I don't know why are u sad and demotivated to say something like this. You maybe wanted more than you can bite so it feels bad but I am convinced if u continue to pushit with your army, it will be just fine.
Expectations sucks, don't follow them.
On the other hand, some people are promoting Steem on other social networks so there are a lot of things going on besides seven77.
Don't quit, that's not you. It's just a bad day...
Well said.
Potential can't keep the lights on...
Yes sir! That is a fact, Jack !
@nathanmars Wow. I wasn't expecting that. I wish fellow Steemians would step up to the plate. After 115 straight days, it seems such a shame to quit now. Just know you have always had my support and I thank you for all the support and time and effort you have put into #seven77.
Don't make promises that you won't keep.
Also...who has time for push-ups when you can already get ripped with 7-Minute Abs? Maybe you should do a 7-77-7-7-777-77-7777-7-77.77 challenge with crunches or something. That might do the viral trick.
Good luck moving over to Voice, bro! Hope it's fun for you!
Upvoted for ab-aggrandizement.
These push-ups ain't helping my belly none and this is for sure! I have rug burns on my belly now from doing these pushups, thank you very much!
Sad
I deeply can understand you Nathan..
I for myself started nearly at the beginning of 777 , pushed every single day, uploaded my vids, tried many times to invite bigger Steemians to join with very, very small success.
The last weeks I dived deeper into the problematic of the upcoming HF21, read posts and more important the comments to these posts, I followed discussions on telegram, discord, sometimes I made my own comments.
A kind of resignation hit me after I realized how many Steemians, especially middle class users worry about the changes.
The big ones don't worry, they know they will profit the most.
But that's a mistake, they will lose the most...
There's no way to talk with them, they know everything better, well, up to them.
777 was and still is the best movement ever on Steem, but as you said already, it's not honored by the witnesses and the other mighty Steem users.
So what to do?
I have already the same thinking to leave Steem, I see at this time no reason why the Steem price should rise , serious investors should invest or why the so much needed masses should join Steem.
For new users it will be much more difficult to grow in the future as it already is.
Wrong decisions at the wrongest time.
It's really sad to see.
Have a nice day anyway Nathan,
I feel a little bit pity for new and middle class users who give their energy and heart to Steem.
Best regards and much Love from Thailand 🇹🇭 to Japan 🇯🇵

Ronaldo left Real Madrid
When he played for Real Madrid he made them win
I deeply want to win with $STEEM and I’ll wait until 31st July to see if my fellow STEEMians wants to win with $STEEM too
I can understand.

Ronaldo also had a SUPPORTING cast with him. Stay or go, the decision you make is one you will have to be behind.
I couldnt do the twitter campaign since my 12 year account was permanently suspended.
You are right! It’s very difficult for small planktons and Minnows to grow! It’s very difficult to build a cohesive community here. Wondering how many people could afford to go to Steem Fest4! It’s for the big fish to get their new networking for common benefits! Poor Steemians will have zero opportuni
Let us see what happens at the end of this month but if you are leaving, those who have been wanting to win with you will be deeply sad. I mean those who are reallyyyy putting heart and effort in #Seven77. But I totally understand what you mean. And let us hope for the best. I hope for the best for you. And for us. For Steem.
Cheers. ❤️
Hay brother @nathanmars please don't leave this platform because there are some people those who have full faith on steem and some who have just came for fun so i know it will be difficult but i request you that no matter what please don't leave as though we are growing slowly but still we are going to win in long run.
