You write enough about them so I wouldn't say that's the problem. The biggie this week has been retention. What led to that problem? To many people writing about the problems and not enough fixes would be my guess. You are probably about the fifth person this week writing about retention issues, funny it's like you guys sit around some round table and decide the topic of the week. Has to be everyone's to busy writing about the problems they don't have any time left to solve them....

It happens because of the way a community works as information feeds off information. Those who just throw in random topics expecting engagement aren't likely very connected to what is actually happening in the various communities.
However, retention has been a discussion topic (at least for several) for many months and it is getting approached from several ways. For me personally I don't care much about retention currently, I care about having people willing to engage. The problem with retention isn't the platform, it is the people who sign up thinking it is a get rich quick scheme.
Solving the problems doesn't happen on platform yet, that is where most people will spend their time.
Also it could be the fact is that the content itself is not worthy enough of retaining most people's attention. I find reading Medium articles more interesting, watching YouTube videos more entertaining, and Facebook conversations more engaging. And I don't make money there. Maybe there should be less talk about crypto and Steemit's shortcomings / wonderful future and maybe people could be social again? Post something for someone else instead of themselves.
It is the real problems people should be reading about and engaging with.
