RE: STEEM: Whales Are Losing Their Power....The System Is Not Broken...A 6 Day Shift In The Numbers!!!!
Let's hope this trend will continue. A lot of new users are frustrated because of the whales and these numbers prove the system is not rigged but will work itself out.
That is true @pieter87.
I think a lot of new years become frustrated because of false expectations. People believe that coming on here entitles them to simply putting up a post and reaping in big rewards. That is not how it works. Few seem to realize, at least at first, that most people are in the position they are in on here because they put in time and effort.
That is the only way to make this work for oneself.
Unless buy in, the odds of reaching dolphin are slim in one's first month. It can be done over time, but it takes that, time.
Now that I totally agree with. The perception people arrive with that it's a get rich quick scheme that's going to have money pouring into their accounts for posting any old shite needs addressing.
True, those whales commited themselve even when the future of steemit didn't look as bright and they should be rewarded. But the balance just looks a bit off when you see these statistics, that's all.
And indeed new users should realise this platform isn't a get rich quick game nut the ones who start off with good posts should get a boost so they don't quit easely.
Unfortunately I saw some new ones in my niche 'diving' who started with some great underwater footage and compilations they put a lot of work in who quit after a few posts with a few of no votes. That's too bad because they could have been nice additions to our little subgroup with usefull comments and tips.
