RE: Can This Be The Real Reason of User Retention On Steemit?
I think one of the issues is that creating good content also gets you no rewards. Sure some good content gets rewarded but I don't think its the norm. Steemit is more of a game then it is a site that rewards good content. Those who invested early are the winners. It will be hard to succeed in the Steemit community ( in its current atmosphere ) if you don't first invest a bunch of money. Which defeats the purpose of why most join.
If you are already semi famous or a popular Youtuber then you will do alright but for the average Joe or Jane it will be a giant uphill battle.
I agree - sometimes good content gets recognised but its a bit of a grind on here often for minimal rewards. I enjoy creating the content and engaging with fellow Steemians while earning few extra dollars, but I cant see myself earning to much $$ on here!
Yeah I wish I came here in 2016 - those are the whales of today and even now it is becoming more competitive - imagine how hard it will be to earn Steem in another 2 years time!
The most I earned on Steemit was by posting articles on here that outside sources paid me for creating.
I enjoy the content / game creating as well and am not thinking about what I earn in todays value but the potential of that value in the future. If this site manages to moon into the top 5 social media sites then 1 steem will be worth much more then it is currently and I see the potential for that happening. I also see the potential for this just being a niche site as well. Its a coin flip ...
Thats the attitude its not the value today but the potential value in the future we should be focussed on - although difficult at the moment with the current dip in price.
YEah time will tell mate, in the mean time we keep on Steeming!
