The reason people do not stick around is simple, today 98 percent of the population have the attention span of a goldfish. People work hard, today they are overworked and over-stressed and basically over everything.

They are over telemarketers, over gas prices, over lousy retailer salespersons, over traffic snarls and over the price of bottled water.

Today people are even over those two professional politicians vermin's who have taken something that should have been used to give people hope and to stabilize the image of respectable government into a campaign of charades by two cretins.

Our elected officials are voluntary to do one thing to create a framework within society has the ability to prosper; I think 99 % of people can see that is not what these two have done.

So people today want to be Wow'ed, amazed, informed and feel they have some return on investment. Today people are pulled in 9 different directions they expect to feel rewarded wherever they go. Instant gratification is mandatory after all that is why everyone carries three credit cards, instant results.

Very few people come to Steemit and think if I put in some effort and create a following and establish my handle within my niche market I will become successful. The people on Steemit who are making gold are of three types, unless a new person can quickly fit into those payout tags then people quickly lose interest.

This is exactly the same for me, I have a one percent interest in visiting FaceBook, it was 2014 when i last visited pinterest and twitter was a long time before that. People come and go and cycle around the ten million websites across the public net.

What i cannot understand is why anyone would still be trying to run their own blog, sure if you are already going well across the web that is one thing but in today's fast paced instantly outdated disposable society only a true fanatic would try and build up their own independent blog.

Anyone with their own website knows the issues of finding, attracting and retaining webusers. Steemit has a ton of growth just from bloggers in my humble opinion.

I myself am starting to buy and sell stuff across steemit as an advertising platform for my own clutter. Steemit is how we the owners want to use it, so stop whining and get commenting : )
