I won’t get into the several reasons I think people don’t stay here. I do think the big reason is the wait from signup to approval. It took me a week to get approved. We have inactives because they sign up and then forget about steemit while they wait.

As for the famous people, you can have them if you want. I don’t think it’s right for the platform to give them SBD to join. Twitter or Facebook didn’t have to pay them to sign up.
