RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 12/11/17> “…, search and you shall find” . Yeah that’s right , I found what I was searching for last week, or at least as close as I can get for now.
I have found many many accounts that haven't posted in months and seem to be quite inactive. Even some that never posted at all and were created a year ago. My son was looking up all the Star Wars characters to see if they were available for account names (and most were old, unused accounts). I know that below a red fish (which is below a minnow) is a dead fish, but I haven't ever looked on someone's Steemit board to see if they are on. Interesting that only 6% are active. That is an extremely low number...
The math tells the story, and that 6% may be a higher number than the actual number , given it listed "users" not "unique users" so each time we logged in or posted on each day last week we would have been counted as a "user", and if the bots are included in that number then this place is like really in a toxic state of health.
Yikes. That does put it into perspective. Cash out now while the going is good?
I don't give financial advice, but this is still in it's "infancy stage", we need to focus on retaining people who find Steemit, my guess is people come for the "easy money" , put out zero effort, and leave. People like us need to great them upon arrival, explain how it works and get them engaged in the site. If they come and expect to post and get tons of cash they leave thinking that this is a bunch of BS. We all need to help them get comfortable and participate.
You are so right! That's great advice. :) I was just kidding about cashing out and running. ;) I have a few friends who came in for the easy money, tried to post 3-4 times a day, made $.01 per post and quit after two weeks. I'm telling them that's not how you play, but they aren't willing to do what it takes to be a part of the community. We do need to greet the newbies out there...
