Last week, the Posts + Comments report grabbed my attention, like being startled at my own reflection in the mirror. Is that about a 17% sudden decrease in reader engagement over the last couple of months? I've only been here for about five weeks but I've seen defenses raised and some concern about useless posts that are quite common, made for no other reason than to collect pennies. As I settled in and absorbed the "mood", I've been much more conservative with my up votes as well as comments but for a variety of reasons. I see that I'm not the only one. Not by far. Wow, I want to ask what happened? Where did these people come from? But a better questions might be- Who has been promoting Steemit? How and where? (... And are they being -Mindful- of their audience / Are they priming them for success starting- even from that very first impression? It's much easier said than done but I'm hoping that our promoters are embracing All the joys of marketing (lol); paying close attention to metrics & analysis like this one (assuming that it is relevant). Of course I have to be a little self conscious as well, as I technically "arrived on the same boat". Anyway, this is just an impression off the top. Any other thoughts / insights?

In the end I can only affect what I upvote and write, I cannot worry about the others. If enough people do that I believe that steem will survive. You could flag bad posts or annoying posters and I have seen a little of that but have yet to do it myself.
