RE: Is Money the Main Ingredient in Steemit's Retention Ratio?
Thanks for the comment, bud. I think the changing of your mindset is the way forward. The human engagement factor should only grow as more and more people form groups, build their power together and make the whole journey a "fun" experience (which is what it should be after all.)
But in the same vein, I feel Steemit still too young to have an establish community such as other social media platforms. You, as well as every other user here, are at the very beginning. So finding your footing is always going to be tough at this stage. But in the future, I see the network of human interaction as being much stronger. The focus will be taken away from the financial aspect to a certain degree. Communities and subject categories will allow a more honed approach from a user of Steemit and therefore will be more about building relationships and communicating with people you already know rather than being thrown in the deep end with "everybody" and learning to swim at a furious rate.
I believe posting to create a historical diary of what you can do is pretty important when first starting out. The more development with Steemit in the future, the easier I feel the process should be to filter yourself into a niche category where like-minded people exist. We are only at the very beginning of an epic course...
