Well all know time is money and the time you spend on social media nowadays for most people is a lot.
This is my view that the majority of people that use steemit will find it is a waste of time and will now make money for it. Here is my reasons.
First to make money from Steemit you needs lots of followers that have lots of Steem Power
So they can upvote your posts and you can make money
This takes time to create a following and during this time you not be earning lot of anything for your posts. So it is not instant and people want instant wealth not wanting build a following
Secondly you need a post that a big whale steem whale likes for you to get a pay day most whale do not upvote other peoples posts
The second way is to invest your self and get steem power yourself from the platform
This will increase your post value and you will make money through that
However you have to put thousands of dollars and buy power most people will not do this
SO there you go for the average Joe Steamit will not make them money like this post
I will only make 0.01 $ people will say its not worth it and leave
Long term this is problem because people will lose interest in steam and you will only have a select niche of users in my opinion
I am waiting for social media platform based on crypto currency like facebook
Steemit is not like facebook it like reddit
