Steemit is a ghost town, because people are selfish and greedy. Most of the people are focusing only on their own posts, but they do not care about other people's posts. Most of the posts are ignored/overlooked. The real human comments are rare. Both on the Steem blockchain and on the Hive blockchain. This leads to many disappointed users, who leave the platform. Most of the Steem blockchain and Hive blockchain users are content creators, but there are almost no content consumers. This is why the user retention of the platform is so bad.
