That is the problem with steemit so far. People see the money aspect of it and think to themselves. I spend time on other social media and get nothing in return, I might as well try steemit. They join the platform and form enormous expectations looking at the trending tab. They try to emulate the same results but they are let down by the unrealistic expectations. That is one of the major reasons why people leave the platform. The cycle keeps repeating...I hope steemit is going to hide the amount that a creator is about to receive after beta. It's for the better good of the community!
