I'm guessing most of the users are students and the like who're living on a modest income. So it's tough to segregate money for investing into Steem.
I'm in a similar situation. I want to earn Steem Power by posting and creating quality content itself.
I understand this requires dedication and patience. But many of the new users who post for a couple of weeks and then quit seeing no progress don't fully tend to take this path. Maybe that's what they could be taught.
Those are my thoughts, thank you for reading!
Steem on~
