You shouldn't be looking at it like that. Steemit is a new product. People still have to discover it. Don't worry about what is happening at it, at the moment. Look at the potential is has. It is only a few months old and there is still a lot of improvements on its way. Over 5 years Steemit.com will look completely different than now. There will be channels, things will be structured differently, posts with true value will be rewarded instead of introduction posts, ...

I also wrote a post today about the potential of the steem dollar:

I hope your worries will be less now ;-).
