RE: The Wrong Perception About Steemit That People Apparently Get
This guy seems like a late teen, early 20-something, grown with a mobile in his hand, cutting corners in life and waiting for instant gratification.
Bored to write "you" and replaces it with "u". Same for "idk", etc. And then says "give me a topic to post, i am so lazy".
I'd say he has bigger issues in front of him than how to succeed in steemit (which may be entirely unsuitable for him).
The important question is how many people like that is Steemit attracting and what happens after they come here...
Well the concept is to contribute content. If one starts by being "lazy", so lazy that they don't even want to think of something to write, then I think their future is pretty predictable.
I suspect a majority of new sign ups are people like that (Steemit - it's the new gold rush!) and those people probably get discouraged quickly and don't stick around. But some of them will stay and start making valuable contributions. I think it's good to provide as much education for new users as possible, so that they can quickly decide if it's worth the effort or not. If expectations are kept realistic then there will be less frustration later on for all concerned.
