every time i think i know something i find another book, @yallapapi i think your a great writer dude and your insights are priceless, i would hate to see the communists dictating the platform for their own sad and boring lives. Mentioning the thousands that left in the past because of no upvotes at all even if they had good content they couldn't make a buck. Note: nothing can grow in a sterile environment . I think your services do have a value to the community that is rapidly changing after what seems the dissolve of minnowbooster the bid bots are only fulfilling a valuable service, Steemit is evolving those who enjoyed the profits from the start good for you, those who make a buck now good for you, somebody tells you retention is low and people leave i tell others that's normal because they come here to make money, from the start they get criticized for poor content because their not really writers make no money and leave, wheres the support do you know how very few posts pay for participation at least for some they can pick up that initial coin to buy a vote and begin to make a buck. yeah i know i sound like a drug dealer but yes the best and fastest way to get users is to give away free samples every smart marketer knows that. yours truly @darsico
