As a newbie here without any knowledge of cryptocurrency and coding/programming, I definetly agree with you about user retention. I was keep studying and researching about the steemit (platform), and it was too hard to define what it is. As I am researching, something else is coming up like dtube, dlive, steemhunt, and etc. These were ok to use, but other apps for developer’s app or something like steemnow are too difficult to find out what it is for people who have any knowledge of computer things. I was frustrating while I am studying about the steemit platform because there are too many steem based platforms. Moreover, I don’t know what to choose among them. Lol. Decentralizing is good, but sometimes centralizing is needed i guess personally.
