The payout was roughly 35 to 40% lower than it said. I think that it will get stable at around 50 or 60% but I'm new here and I don't know much. I'm a little sad and I got disheartened.
The way I see it a lot of people will join. They will try to make some steem for themselves. Most of them will try to take shortcuts and fail. It will be a roller coaster ride. They will feel empty, disappointed and will eventually leave the platform. You asked a good question.
Have fun today and relax :)
