I have seen a few people delete the content from there posts and put up a final post like, "I tried and steemit fail me" after a month on the platform with as you said no investment in learning what it is. It is very complicated but worth the time its taken me to learn the basics.

If you open the door to Steemit and think it is blue, you are mistaken, it is a rabbit hole.

I have used this analogy when describing steemit before, I think its very apt for steemit. lol.
