I think one inherent issue with Steemit.com is that in reality, blogging isn't all that fun! In order to blog unique content daily, one must be disciplined, dedicated, motivated, have a positive attitude, let alone be able to write well, be creative, funny, unique, inspiring, etc. Google "how to be a blogger" and there are thousands of websites talking about the discipline and dedication. Blogging is a serious undertaking!
Another issue is that the golden days of Steem being $5 are probably over. It may climb back up one day, but not anytime in the near or not so near future. So when you have an author (like me @queenmountain) who joined in when Steem value was bursting at the seams, raking in votes that were $20-$60 each was kind of typical! Those votes now are in the $3-$6 range. And now with the hard fork of only 5 votes per user at 100% power, well those precious votes are dwindling big time.
However, the concept of Decentralized Social Media is just beginning to sizzle. Decentralized internet is on the rise and will reach the masses sooner or later. My speculation is in the next 3-5 years, alt-coin will skyrocket as these coins will fuel the decentralization movement. That is what I am sticking around for! And Steemit will be a big part of that movement, if it can hold on for the wild ride ahead.
the 5 votes wasn't accepted actually
