Well here is my story :) and several things that clicked ... I hope you enjoy the read this is not a fictional story .... But a real one...
1st I learned that out of 1000 followers :) that I have only 200 actually interact with my account and read my stuff... Another 500 have not been in steemit for the past month............
So you got to imagine that this rang a bell in my head thinking that I have been delusional about my success on steemit by now ...
Furthermore I learn that the Views Count on the posts has nothing to do with reality except if it has 0 views .... or 1 ... because you can keep on refreshing your page and the counter will go nuts on you oh well ....
Thank the top of the cherry was a convo I see in one of the communities that for two years only 16 people are left who were there since the beginning out of 2000 .
Than it hit me some maths .... that is about 1% only remained in steemit
That is very concerning numbers there guys....
Oh also I learn that the real active accounts without the bots are about 40k ...(that was about 3 months ago when I came to steemit...)
Well with all that Said ... I am still behind the Idea and all that.... But may be we have to think what is really drawing people away from steemit ... We should do something in that direction for sure...
Also lets not forget that steemit is Social Network after all in first place so you got to be social to succeed here it is obviously not the typical blogging site that you have expected it to be :)
God Bless You All. Peace and Love.

It really is depressing if you put it like that. Yet, it is kinda expected since most of us come here expecting to earn some quick bucks. Unfortunately, that is not how Steemit works. Success here requires time and efforts which some people are not willing to put. Anyways, the statistics depresses me a bit so I'll go read some memes or something, lmao. Have a pleasant day.

Well it is not about earning the money man ... It is more the Steemit network itself is trying to lie to people ... That it is popular or something .... That the people interact with each other and care which is not the case ... Like you said people come here for the money and as soon as they understand that they are flowing for someone (not because he does good content but cause he has power ... ) Well that is the point where every self respected well known artist will be highly demotivated ... Like look at this post :) only 6 views lol (that is given that I have been on it 2 times already :) so 4 views lolz :) It is like a desert. It is hard to get motivated in that case haha :) Compared to the 1k views I get for one hour on my twitter account ...

So true. It is really demotivating when people ignores our efforts. If our accounts have more SP, I'm pretty sure people would flock on our post no matter how shitty it is. Steemit really need to change this. Right now though, we can only make do of what we have.

Well, if people think they will make a quick buck here they are msitaken, maybe that is where the change should be? I mean telling people that they can make money here will make them think that, so maybe it is better to tell them that they will need to put work and time in ti and then MAYBE they can make SOME money...
Also I think that the fact that when you log in to Steemit you end up on your own blog is a mistake. I think this leads to people focussing on that, instead of interacting. Maybe this could be changed so you log in and start in your feed instead... just my 2 cents, or well one cent in my case ;)

Excellent post @angelveselinov, its structure is simple and it´s noteworthy too. I have been interacting on Steemit social network since january of present year and I´ve verified all the thing you claim on this post. It´s important to interact a lot with others here on Steemit, of course, it´s a social network after all! Best regards from @presentnworldsc

All your words are correct
Unfortunately, very low hits for quality posts are the main causes of the weakness of the steemit and frustrated steemian hosts.

Yep I think the biggest problem is how to centralize the whole information in a decentralized network :0

Those are some sad statistics, especially for someone like myself who's only recently joined! 😆
From what I've observed people are joining, realising their posts are disappearing unnoticed under the waves of "How to be successful" posts...
A bit of a self fulfilling prophecy, isn't it?
Not to mention the bot power, the witch hunts, the cash grabs, the phishing scams...
My goodness, we've just created another tiny online version of the world!

I agree, better than the other social networks where ducks are under represented!
