RE: Homesteaders and Preppers on steemit : ideas for improving retention
I think it is hard to figure Steemit out but I think some of it is the fact that you work so hard on a post and it makes so little money, they get discouraged and give up. You go through here and see one sentence posts or a gif post bring in a hundred dollars or more and they feel like it is not worth it. I am not saying that it is all about the money, it is lots of things like friendships and supporting one another, It has been talked up so much move to Steemit and make money. There are some problems here that the whales and the witnesses need to address and it will make it a better place. I try to post every week because of having lots going on. I would like to post every day but it is to hard for me to right now. I do try to curate and read posts every day.
Yes steemit has many issues about fairness of post rewards and distribution of wealth. As well as the big problems of exploitation and gaming of the system, and the invasion of the bots.
This all used to bug me a great deal, and still does sometimes, but now I tend to ignore all that and just try to do what I do. I have my own 'rules' of how I play the game, and I'll stick to those as long as I am allowed to.
I am the same way. I have my own rules to play by, I try to treat others as I would want to be treated. It just seems that these issues are the cause of some leaving Steemit and that is a shame because there are many good people on here.
Hopefully some will take a break rather than leave altogether.
