I started about 2 weeks ago. At the beginning of minnowunited. Nearly every person I was friends with in the first week are gone.
They are gone because they were brought here by marketing saying they could earn. Once getting here, they were told they were entitled, they should lower expectations, not everyone is going to make money... Etc.
I think Steem needs to evaluation Marketing vs. Reality. It is not just daily posts going down. It is also.. Less active users.
We need to find a way to greet new users and paint a pathway to success, and assist them (me, us) to see the path.
The UI isn't easy, and doesn't have features that people using blogging sites or other Social Media accept. We can only chat and connect on a separate, but related chat site. :) But, yes, I think you have some valid points as well.

It's hard enough to suscribe, understand how SBD/SP/Rewards works, now it adds even more barrier for them.I agree. That's why i mentioned what @jesta said in his
About the fact they could earn and finally end not winning money is a major problem i must admit. I have a friend @najoh who stopped writing because he felt his content worth more than the few cents he did give good Trading analysis. He mentionned also bot voting to other posts that can misleads the new users about earning expectations...
Thanks for your feedback
