RE: My 3 Theories On Why People Leave Steemit/DTube
Yes, you are right in your judgments. Many people come to the platform in order to get money. But they do not succeed and they leave. There is a category of talented but not persistent people. That is, they create amazing and interesting content, but they lack perseverance and patience. They create interesting content, but it remains untouched and they despair.
There is also a category of people for my personal observations. These are people who "are in a boat while there is no storm behind." For example, I spend time on forums about crypto-currencies. I noticed the pattern. When the price of cryptocurrency is growing - people write that everything is fine and it will be forever. But as soon as the value of the cryptocurrency falls, these same people write that this is the end. They rush into panic and arrange a funeral for this cryptocurrency. These people I call windy. In which direction the wind blows from that side they are looking. Today, this man is your friend, and tomorrow he is your enemy. This also applies to steemit. There are many such people here. When the cost of SBD was high - they praised the platform. Today, the cost is reduced and they just go away and say that this is the end. They do not try to understand that now the bear market and this is temporary.
I'm glad that there are people who believe in the platform and continue to work. Together we are the strength of the guys and we must continue our work. In the future, everyone who has spent his time and energy here - will be generously rewarded. You need to be patient and continue to work.
Thank you
Agreed, a factual observation. I have been on here since October and had that same hype as those you have spoken of. Started me self up and Posted bland content. Luckily, My recently Deceased friend (aka @adept) was a Computer Programmer and then some. Reason I am here now is his doing. Always had the heads up. His upvote was worth around $15.00 and really helped me out with getting upvoted, as well as gaining followers such as Dolphins or Whales. He had been hired by @ned and the team but sadly had passed on from Earth. So that, along with little to no rewards and followers lead me to step away from @Steemit.com.
Tho I had not lost faith nor do I really doubt the success @Steemit.com is and will attain. I came up with some tactics on how to gain the people and the money.
That is a few ideals I can see as a huge aid here on Steemit.
That is it for now, time to sleep.
That is, one of the main conditions here is to contact other users (support, promotion, commenting). It is important to find people who will support your interests. Here the principle - "you to me, and I to you" works. Reciprocity.
Recently, I prefer to communicate with users in a discord. In a personal conversation, it's easier to start an interesting conversation and learn about a person and his goals. It is interesting.
Yes it seems that Discord and Steemit have somewhat of partnership here lol. Perfect Social interaction through Discord. I became aware of Discord after I had already been on here, so I never knew that Discord was generally for Gaming until few months back.
I too have never used discord before. Now this is the best tool for communication between users of steemit. This is a good decision. Are you a member of the discord communities?
yea about 10 of em. that is an estimate tho. World of Photography is one. That is a good server for taking Photo and doing contests. Follow @juliank, she is the creator of that community.
@frank1in Or you could say wishy washy haha. "I love steemit and the price is going through the roof". "I hate steemit because I am not making alot of money due to low steem prices"
I'm glad you got eh right mindset to keep putting in the work no matter what. I do the same buddy.
