I think people become disheartened when they put their time and energy into something which others are being well rewarded for and they are not. It's like if I went to work at the grocery store and was getting paid pennies while my colleague who is doing the same job is getting paid in hundred dollar bills. Eventually, I'm going to get tired of the perceived inequality and look elsewhere. I think it's less about the money than it is about the perception of unfairness on steemit. New folk often feel like they don't have the chance to earn on an equal level as the established folk.

May be new folks were in a hurry to earn many overnight...while they forget the only way to success on steemit is about patience and persistence.
Anyway, it is not only about new folks even many establisged user have shifted their base to weku. For sure reward inequality is the main concern...overall...but there is no gurantee that they get sucxess on newer platform.

There are never any guarantees, but for me, the perception of a more equal chance certainly helped shift my focus.
I've been blogging on steemit regularly since June. While I've seen some success and engaged with the community, it often feels as though I'm wasting my efforts as far as the rewards go. For example, I can upvote the posts of others all day long and my vote is still not worth even $0.01. I'd like to feel as though my efforts matter.
On WEKU, I can upvote people's posts and see a change in the payout for that person. I like that. It's nice to see that my hard work can make a difference. The same people I interact with on steemit are on WEKU, so on that platform I can at least support them the way they've supported me. :-)
