Wow, am glad i stumbbled on this post. These has been my thought since a long time now. I understand steemit is not a get rich quick skim. But here we are, like it or not, 95% of the people who joined steemit, join cos they believe they can make something. A very close friend was able to gather 500 plus people in a group to sign up for steemit. Today not more than 30 are active.
There is a truth, you dont belong to a click, you barely get 50cent. Now, they tag it quality post to get good reward. What is really a quality post, long post with picture, live or what. Not everyone does same thing.
The bitter truth is more than 80% of the new accounts in the last 2-3 months are not active anymore. I dont have a solution to this, but i am certain if it continues like this, it will get worse.
Maybe, i dont get it, maybe steemit will do better without the minnows or new account.
I am not far from the thoughts of quiting either.
I have been doing something lately, i suff steemit chat channel and curate at least one low reward post on every channel. But what dose my vote count. How many post can o really curate.
I really hope, there is more motivation to new account if we want them to stay.
