@jrcornel Here's the problem. Reddit has 85 million active users,none of those people are posting with the expectation of getting paid, they are doing it for pleasure. People on steemit are posting WITH the expectation of getting paid, and when they don't get paid they leave because the user base of the platform is not large enough to give them pleasure on its own. Its a catch-22. For steemit to hit a tipping point it needs higher user growth, but in order to get higher user growth the trending page of Steemit needs to look enticing to new users who have no clue wtf it is.
