A fellow Minnow friend of mine quit this last week. I understand why, and I am spending a little less time here myself... but, listen for a minute.
Well, my fellow Minnows, here are a few things I have noticed. Our little tribe of minnows is getting stronger, very slowly.
As we have gathered and supported each other, a few of us have had a good article or two, and so the voting power slowly goes up. My fellow minnows are becoming a bit stronger and thus their votes mean a little more on my articles, and mine on yours.
Low user retention/adoption can actually help those of us who stay. It is not good for the SteemIt Platform overall, but let's assume for a moment the Platform does stabilize going forward, If the goal is 1 million users, we are still here pretty early in the game. Although I would prefer the SteemIt community pulls out of what appears to be a problem with early adopters, those who stay have a smaller pool to get noticed in and we can track each other a little easier.
Soon, I am going to have to decide what is the best way to spend my time, and although I not excited about writing and sharing my material for .5c. SteemIt may not be perfect, but there is suddenly a mass amount of other large companies wanting to do Pay to Blog type ideas, so obviously SteemIt has value, and is a ground breaker. Let's keep growing very slowly, hang in there and see what direction this thing starts to take.
