Why Should I Be Here?
Someone convinces you to sign up for Steemit. Maybe they they convince you that making make money here is as easy as blinking your eyes and that this is a new revolutionary social media hub. They may also pitch this cool and new decentralized version of YouTube to you, DTube, where you are able to have your content monetized much quicker. While getting paid from Steemit and DTube are more than possible, how quickly that happens can get overlooked. So people land on these platforms and are surprised by what they see.
Now I'm not saying that everyone that first joins does not do well financially or gain influence quickly because I have seen that too but that is not necessarily the default. That is unless these creators are already popular or semi-known outside of the platform. People get discouraged for a number of reasons and leave. I want to present to you my 3 theories or thoughts on why people leave Steemit or DTube.
Reasons People Leave Steemit/DTube
- Making pennies on a post- People put alot of work into creating content only to get paid crumbs
- Hard To Find Their Place- People feel like they can't find community
- Don't See The Potential In These Platforms- People are unaware of the social and technological implications of Steemit/DTube
You could probably come up with other reasons for why people leave as I would love to hear your thoughts on it. If you are considering leaving Steemit or DTube or have considered it I would love to hear your thoughts. I see the potential of Steemit and even more so DTube but we have to be patient to see what new things develop over time. As always much love and peace to everyone.
