Hello @denmarkguy, Two days earlier @paulag posted a statistical analysis regarding retention rate on steemit, the post concluded:
Author retention on Steemit is only 9% and voting retention of 10%. Overall retention is 16%. There also appears to be an increase in retention in the last 4 months, despite the recent downturn in the price of STEEM and SBD.
Steemit promoters raised the level of expectations for people, I once red "within one year you WILL quit your job and be a full time steemian".
that helps bringing good numbers of users to steemit and losing them in a short period of time. Many of them wouldn't stay to have the opportunity to even read your post and learn how it is difficult to make it in social media.
I believe there should be such a way to guarantee a good quality content certain number of views (not rewards) in order to let other users determine if it is worthy or not. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. and gave a nice day.
