This is indeed very promising, and until there's no real competition in this market I don't see the numbers dropping anytime soon. It'll be interesting to see how the platform will keep up with the traffic :).

The problem is; high traffic, but no retention. I see post about how "great" steemit is everyday on the front page. Yet it's only the same 5 users post on the front page talking about it... like 10 of the same users on trending everyday...
Yea in the beginning it's really about finding the accounts with value. The first days on Steemit I read the beginners articles and I saw some of the most ridiculous tips ever: "Just follow the top 150 accounts, upvote every article and gain the most curation awards possible" I'm sorry, but that's not what Steemit or any other blogging platform is about. I took my time to go over the boards that interested me (psychology, motivation, philosophy etc) and when I found a good, well-written article I was research the author. If the author had more interesting posts, I pushed the follow button. After a few days I had a decent feed with articles that interested me, I could learn from and could open a discussion about in the comments section. That made my experience on Steemit a lot better than purely following random accounts.
You can follow whoever you want you think creating nice content and suddently your feed will only show things you want to read.
