Haha I always assumed that being successful here was going to be a grind so I am at peace with that. I think saying it like you are doing here is important though because people do need to have realistic expectations. When I was going through and unfollowing dead accounts, I saw a lot of people who showed up and wrote one or two good posts (which is why I followed them) and then quit because they didn't earn hundreds of dollars worth of steem during their first week.

Exactly, they didn't hit the big time after the second article and they are now gone.
Yeah that was the impression that I got. It is a shame too because some of them looked like they had promise but there is a feeling of rejection that comes with this type of thing. It doesn't matter how many votes one gets or how much his or her post makes, that person will always wonder why more people didn't like the post or video or whatever. I think there are a lot of people who have trouble dealing with that and when it is combined with a lower payouts than they were hoping for (like the vast majority of us have had and continue to deal with), they end up getting fed up way before they really gave things a chance here.
Many will be back and sadly, they only want to post when the price is up.
I was almost ready to throw in the towel at .07 cents, when we jumped up to .26 cents, I understood why I was doing it. :)
Haha I think this last dip was the lowest I have seen it since I have been here but that really does put it in perspective though. "Low price" is a relative term lol.
I think you are right. I felt kind of bad unfollowing so many accounts over the last few days for that reason but I was pretty lenient. I set a limit at no posts or comments in three months (give or take depending on how frequent they posted before and whether I really liked their content when they were posting).
The thing is... .26 cents was GREAT after .07 :) I think my account went from $900 to 2400 and suddenly I "felt" what a pump would feel like.
