@meno @veckinon Yeah i fully agree with this! Also I have been here six months and i have never heard of @steam-plus. And I will speak as a six-monther here and say that my enthusiasm and love for Steemit is still all here, but my engagement has indeed waned. I have gotten extremely busy in a good way in my real life, but when I think about it, thats not 100% the reason my engagement is waning. I posted about this a little bit today on my blog... which made me think about it more deeply... so I am seeking ways to again integrate steeming into everything else that I am doing , like I was before. None of what I am writing right now fully touches on why my engagement has faded a little bit either. Some of the loss of engagement has to do with not wanting to stare at a screen when I am "off work" because I look at a screen for hours every day . I mean there are a ton of reasons, and I bet there are interesting solutions and suggestions we could brainstorm for every single one of them.
The number one BIGGEST thing that is bringing me back right now is I am starting to really miss the connections and inspiration I find here.
But the flip side of that: I think another thing is there is just a flood of cool shit here and its so. freaking. hard. to keep up with all the new things. You have to search and study and spend hours here to really find all the advantageous things to join and use. That can be incredibly fun when you have time, but othertimes it feels like a firehose of information when my brain is already kind of flooded from my day to day life. How to curate and filter this is beyond me. I used to listen to the radio shows to get that, but now I don't always have time. I have fallen so far behind that some days I get discouraged about where to start picking it all back up again!
Anyway I am not complaining just trying to give a little more insight to another user experience that is probably common. Thanks for asking this question and trying to get underneath some of the current and common user experiences related to retention! xo
