I think the unique advantage of Steem over other social media platforms is its biggest weakness at the same time: While nobody has ever been paid for posting on traditional social media platforms, it has been possible to earn a decent income by posting on Steem when crypto prices where high. With the rewards in FIAT currency drastically reduced and posts just paying peanuts, many people need to look for other ways of earning an online income since they have not joined Steem as a social media platform but as a platform to earn an online income.
It is sad to see the #travelfeed becoming emptier by the day, but we still have an active community and while I believe that rewards will be higher in the future, I see the true value of Steem not in its financial incentives, but in the amazing communities that have emerged from this platform attracted by financial rewards - post rewards certainly are a huge motivation to create quality content, but far from the only reason to keep posting on Steem!
As a sndbox steward, you may have read my intro published by @sndbox already - we might have started out on the wrong foot, but if you decide to add my photography and travel posts to your feed by following me I would certainly appreciate it. Or you could consider following @travelfeed to see five resteemed travel posts by different authors in your feed daily!
