Four Generational Archetypes of Steemit Users

The diversity of Steemit users nowadays, with its rapid increase of newcomers, has increased. Steemit blogosphere, from its genesis to the current time, evolved into a self-sustaining community. Supply of users comes from various backgrounds. But just like any community, you can always dissect it into basic types.

Majority of the surviving pioneers of Steemit, becomes a

PROPHET

Prophet: Vision, Values

These are the kinds of users who have big deposits in their Steem Power. They have a vision beyond any user’s future forecast of the platform. They hold their earnings in steem power form. They are the Father Figure of the community (not sexist though). Sometimes they act like Loki, but we love them anyway. This community would not be great without their visions.

Prophet serves as the inspiration of the users known as the,

NOMADS

Nomad: liberty, survival, honor

These are the kinds of users who are in steemit to earn liquid cash. Majority of minnows are nomads. Once they earn enough SBD they easily sent it to blocktrades or bittrex – cash out. Then party for a day or weeks. Or they just buy basic commodities. They earn for survival, just like most of us do in real life. There's nothing bad about it - the beauty of it comes from economic reason. The distribution of wealth is more or less not a Gaussian curve anymore.

and we have our favorite people of steemit.

HERO

Hero: community, affluence

These are the kind of users who have power based on their leadership spirit. They are the Steeman, I mean Superman of steemit blogosphere. Their power is based on their influence qualitatively and not based on quantitative measures. Though most of the time their qualitative influence is proportional to their quantitative influence ( Steem Power). They came to steemit with a leadership spirit and created a community bonded by the passion on making steemit fun and ... lively.

and then there's the jobless, underpaid, overworked:

ARTISTS

Artist: pluralism, expertise

These are the kind of users that produce quality content. But most of them are not earning enough. Just as artists are not earning enough in the real world. Most of them are ignored; most of them persist and persist. But then ignored again. And started not to give a f*ck and continued on his/her blogs. And then one day they get the reward they deserve. You see ---- the beauty of steemit community is that it's capable of recognizing talents. You just have to wait. 7 days? haha.

or years just like Pablo Picasso.
