Where Have the Steemians Gone?

I am online here on Steemit, and I noticed a lot of Steemians stopped posting. In fact, in a lot of group chats I belong to, some members stopped communicating, and eventually leaving those groups.

I remembered the song from Paula Cole called Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?, then it suddenly came to my mind, where have the Steemians gone?

There you can see how some members are just enticed to join the time Steem and SBD prices are on its peak months but they didn't see the big picture of Steemit. Surely enough, the system of Steemit has a lot of flaws to fix in, but when I talked to some members who stopped posting, it's not the main reason why they stopped posting. Some of them heavily relied in a whale who distributes rewards to a lot of members. They focused on the rewards they can receive. Some members are complaining that they don't get support. But remember, many members has nothing when they are starting up, and their reputation starts to build up because of hard work. So if you put on hard work, likewise joining communities, and learning the platform, you will find success on Steemit. Unfortunately, some members relied on those who referred them instead of learning how things work.

Understandably, many of us joined for monetart reasons. However, at the same time it can also be a source of joy. If you are not happy on what you are doing, you'll eventually stop doing it. That seems the case why many has stopped posting.

We cannot generalized that people stopped posting for the same reasons. Of course, some people needs to focus on their health, family, works, or other pursuits, and that's understandable.

The coming months ahead would be something to look forward to on Steemit. SMT is coming, and a lot more. Will those who left coming back? We will see.
