RE: With the number of Accounts now registered on Steemit at over 410,000 we should expect to hit 500,000 Accounts on or around 18th December 2017.

For me the new users are great but the fall off of them and lack of success getting to 45 rep is the worry. I look @penguinpablo stats when they come out and the interaction, downline support, and bot action is dreadful. There's only so much little guys can do if the big guys don't.

@fitinfun I agree with you 100% on this. Steemit can become exit door for many content creators and blogger or just a normal being like me who loves to post what he knows. I feel very unfair sometimes when minnows like me have to compete with whales for the trending or hot pages. They have enough $$ to take them to the top, so we stay unnoticed. You probablly have noticed spam comments by minnows saying nice post and that's it. They don't know what the ** they are doing. They want to get noticed, so they are just commenting on posts. Some are doing it better, they actually write sensible comments which might get them Upvote by luck( depends) like me. lol 😝 Minnow's reputation can only go up when they get upvoted by whales or dolphins, so sometimes it doesn't feel like a decentralized community where little folks have to 100% depend on big folks. Minnows come and go, Dolphins and Whales rule the Steemit ocean. If it doesn't get fixed, minnows might go back to the pond where they came from, so Dolphins and Whales can rule the ocean. One thing Dolphins and Whales should not forget is where are they going to sell their steems when you have everyone to own and no new minnows to buy. They might be enjoying the price around $1 now. If we drop from 50k active users to 5k then i don't think we want to find the solutions at that time. A large number of people are joining which means larger audiance is judging Steemit now. Please do something.

You have a good knowledge of the problems here! All we can do is keep working it and grow the best we can. I wrote this post a while ago with minnow tips. They are working for me - especially the delegated sp. Maybe they will help you too. There is a lot of potential here and some of us minnows will have to grow to make the place succeed. Let's hope you and I are two of those successful ones :)
