Yes, I get what you are saying, but most people are too lazy to do that. So, that is why the number of steemians would never match that of Facebook. All the lazy bloggers will leave, and only the strong bloggers with good following would remain. I don't know whether that would be good or bad for steemit though.

I think the issue we're having is that more people are coming to Steemit to post content instead of coming to the platform to absorb it. I'm unsure what would help retain content creators to stay on the platform to absorb content but the first thing I noticed when I first came on the site was that it almost felt like it was difficult to find interesting posts. I was able to find TONS of articles, but it was a hassle to actually search for.

I joined mainly for this reason. To follow some people I follow on other platforms but unlike places like YouTube, here you can make a detailed and articulate response that can be heard and hopefully contribute something.

I created an article (my first post) which I entered into a competition. I found it a great way to get started, and helped focus my introduction post but I am happy just engaging in the discussion ATM.

I am glad that you said this as I was feeling pressure to create posts but seeing people say that just absorbing the platform for a while is OK makes me feel better about not trying to build a brand just to be on Steemit. The money isn't relevant to me but it seems that most tutorials are aimed at the content creator types and not just the average consumer. I am enjoying just reading and commenting on Steemit.

Hahaha, you are absolutely right. Most of the posts here are pure junk! Maybe 1 out of 100 posts is useful and interesting.
