RE: Is Money the Main Ingredient in Steemit's Retention Ratio?
That's actually the problem. User retention is super low because minnows are not getting much audience even if they post good content, i recently wrote a post about it but it also did not receive much views.
This is very demoralising which is leading to lack of interest by new users, as if a person is writing a post which is consuming his/her whole day but still nobody is viewing it, then you can imagine the amount of frustation.
Other platforms don't provide the money but atleast you will get praise for your work and that is more than 2-3 $ which minnows receive for their posts.
This is a problem I have seen from so many people starting out on this platform. The feeling of discouragement and lack of visibility. Not getting the attention you feel you deserve. I know this because I felt "exactly " the same way when I first started out. In fact, I reckon the "taking some time out" aspect of Steemit is integral to actually starting out in the first place. Hell, I did it. When my posts were making nothing after nothing after nothing, I left for a bit and after some reflection, began again. Because the way I saw it, if I shun the platform, my chances of success "are" zero, without a shadow of a doubt. But man, the recognition came after some time. Many posts later, but it did arrive. And I honestly hope the same happens for you.
