RE: How sustainable is Steemit, and could it afford to keep paying the Haejin's of the Steemit world forever?

in #steemit6 years ago

I think it’s a very difficult problem to address without killing off the platform entirely.

If everyone pulls their investment the value of Steem will drop to zero.

Also given how little has been done so far to address this, it doesn’t fill me with confidence for the future.

Sort:  

My confidence level as at its lowest, hence my complete power-down.

Whao.. thats steep buddy. You powered down?
Thats really gonna hurt, am yet to get my footings here and people like you are already losing interest, powering down??

Yeah, I've been watching the active user numbers closely, and they haven't moved in over 6 months... which doesn't look good for the platform at all going forward.

I understand your point, doesn't seem good at all. But this is still the only platform that pays for content, though it doesnt care whether good or bad and people keep ripping off, but it still pays. What if i have no other choice? Is there another platform like steemit?...

There's a bunch, but none as good as Steemit... yet.

Well, it breaks my heart my friend... though the visible proofs supports your claims about steemit but i hope you're wrong... being out of job since last week, i thought i could survive on this until things get better

Never say never, and I wish you the best of luck!

And you too my friend. Thank you

Yep this is a real shame,

It’s funny because we hit 1 million accounts the other day but the number of active users is the same.

I wonder what the average lifespan of Steemit accounts is. I have something like 270 followers but honestly I think most of those accounts are dead. Starting out on Steemit is too hard and this just turns so many people off.

If you go through and click on some of the people you follow, it is sad to see how many haven't posted in months... it was very disheartening for me as well.
