RE: Steemit Curation based Quarterly Churn and Retention levels
Very valid points you make. It is crucial that newer people are brought into the mix. This is up to those who are on here longer.
The question is when was the last time you (the general you not specifically you as one individual) upvoted a newcomer....when did you have a discussion with him or her?
It is easy for us to get caught up in our own circles. At the moment, Steemit is so small that is requires us finding those who are overlooked.
You are correct. Perhaps the geography of the new users also plays a big part in this problem. Most of the new users are from asia and africa. Not many power users operate in their timezone hence most of their posts get buried without proper appreciation.
What is interesting is that, people from those parts, can be most impacted by a bit of an upvote.
Those from the third world nations can do more with a couple dollars than those of us in the west. If we can get their posts to earn even that, it will make a huge difference in their lives.
Probably the power users should work in shifts :) or the trending and hot algorithms need a change based on the location of the posts . Steemit does not emphasise on location, that is a major drawback.
