RE: I'm Get The AKASHA Newsletter To Laugh At It

in #akasha7 years ago

As much as I sometimes criticize steemit its incredibly hard to build an active and vibrant community and also keep people around and steemit has done that which is pretty impresssive

Sort:  

Yeah it absolutely is hard to keep people around. I think that the fact it takes long enough to power down that if people step away for a breather once in awhile and then the price spikes they can end up getting sucked back into being here again. I have certainly seen my fair share of people disappear overtime. I happened to just see an account today by a fell Arizona resident that was on here back in 2016. It seems like he has powered down most of his account. @nonlinearone He was a blockchain expert but for some reason couldn't gain a ton of traction here even though he set up a witness node and was speaking at conferences and had a Ph D from U of Arizona. I could never figure why he sort of got passed over as being integrated into a major player here. I was upvoting him.

When I saw him not be able to gain traction as a witness that is when I decided that trying to become a witness was most likely going to be unprofitable because I wouldn't be able to gain the traction either in upvotes.
