That's a good question. @aviz85 said there are more consumers. I think Steemit encourages you to become a creator, and this is what's this post is all about. I believe all of us are born creators, but modern society socializes almost everybody into consumers. And to be more precise, by consumers I don't intend to use the late capitalist meaning of the term, cause we all are consumers to a certain extant and it is almost impossible to live in the world and not be a consumer.
But I meant to use the term rather differently, in the sense of do you create new energy and share it with the world, or do you only consume the energy other people create?
Right, I understood you. consumers in consciousness who are actually survivers compared to creators. It may be equivalent to the servants-masters comparison.
My take on the numbers is 95%-5%.
But it's changing. As we speak. Thanks to platforms like Steemit, as you justly wrote in the post.
I think that kind of change already started with the social networks about a decade ago, but of course is an ongoing gradual process now accelerating. Crypto in general has a lot to do with that, and the millennials as a generation are not to be underestimated in that matter in my opinion. Also I would think the ratio changes locally and between societies, I would say Israel in general has (to my view) a higher percentage of creators when compared to, say, the US.
I am not familiar with the statistics.
Nevertheless, like you wrote, if people come to Steemit just to earn some bucks then they are not creators but survivors. Though, it's a start. At least they take control of their faith and grasp opportunities.
