I am a minnow, no doubt about that. But I am not discouraged. I have actually been encouraged by a whale to keep posting quality comments, and in one day I went from 4 followers to 13. That's because I applied myself, and didn't worry about the results. As more and more people join Steemit, the content is going to be "watered down". It will be harder and harder to gain followers with any kind of voting power, that's just the natural progression of things. I look to the future with a hope that maybe people will be happy to use this platform for what it is, a new and exciting way to share your thoughts and ideas with the world!!!

I think the development of larger interest tribes will happen also. People with certain passions will be finding themselves more and more together. This should eventually result in commerce, as people begin to trust each other. This is, I think the natural result of people being social in nature, so this will become a digital version of the old tribe model of the past.
Attrition should eliminate those that are not serious about being part of the platform and contributing quality. Anywhere there's the opportunity for money, there's going to be those in for the fast buck. Sometimes the reality sucks on Steemit, but if you're not contributing, innovating of encouraging others that do, you might need to be encouraged to move on.
