One of the things you need to consider is HOW YOUNG STEEMIT is.
Another thing, STEEM is the cryptocurrency used by THE STEEMIT platform to pay its members and NEITHER are sick or dying.
People should (as you established), look into STEEMIT as a long term investment.
STEEMIT doesn't deserve people that are looking for quick and easy cash, they should leave this platform, learn blockchain technology. Experience the dozens of other social media platforms out there and come back to STEEMIT when they learn about the future of BLOCKCHAIN SOCIAL MEDIA where STEEMIT will reign.
THERE, I SAID IT 😍 😘
Actually, a year and a half is a long time for computer technology. In the fast-paced world of computers, you need to move fast. Steemit is also the first to do this sort of thing, so there is bound to be a teething period where adjustments will need to be made.
Unfortunately Steemit IS attracting those looking for quick and easy cash and that is why we need to discuss the topic and figure out how to deal with it.
