Steemit reminds me of Eve Online -- a PC game that's so unfriendly to noobs, it weeds out the vast majority of new players during the tutorial phase.
It's a niche product that's just not going to appeal to the mainstream.
I sincerely hope a future version of Steemit will offer an Instagram-like experience, if you want it that way. Because the other social networks have figured it out -- everything depends on retaining the user's attention, which has grown incredibly short!
I believe things are a little different this time around because of the awareness of the crypto world as a hold is becoming more recognized as a hole than before. seeing BTC hit the WSJ was a good sign.
Not familiar with the game, but I see the comparisons. It does seem like more than 50% of people just quit after not being "incredibly successful" within a short amount of time.
Couldnt have said it any better! & Im legit not a robot
