RE: Steemit Monthy Churn Rate Drops to 35%
That's an interesting thought @tarazkp. I have noticed that despite the poor user retention rate, those who remain tend to be quite active. Barring some extreme development to pushes even those most loyal users away, it should result in the scenario you mentioned. Eventually with a large enough core user base, more new users could remain.
However, the clique-ish vibe of current Steemit with automated, paid, and circle-jerk voting will continue to be off-putting to those who don't understand the underlying technology/atmosphere of the community here. Then of course we still have a terrible UI, no instant messaging, and a front end that automatically makes posts over a year old invisible.
To stick around on Steemit presently means having a huge dose of patience and an even bigger dose of optimism.
I definitely understand the concerns.
I wrote a post today (which I will link at the bottom because I write several each day) concerning some potentials for SMTs, competition for users etc. When it comes to some aspects like bidbots and the delegations that support them, it potentially might lose favour as a passive income if SMTs choose to do something like reward for curation and delegation to them instead. Plus, they could easily implement airdrops on active SP, not delegated. That way, those delegating to bots would lose the possibility to take advantage of their full wallet.
As far as UI goes, I think there are going to be a host of options that will eventually make Steemit obsolete or, change its core function. Being a catch all isn't doing it favours. Hivemind will bring new options for Devs and will make analysing the chain much easier which means the devs will have some number support to direct them rather than guesses.
It is hard to see all of the possibility through all of the
shitdrama but, there is a massive amount held here and hopefully, we as a community can overcome ourselves to make this place something not only entertaining, but useful for a wide variety of cases.today's post mentioned:
