It makes sense to cultivate retention of people who have been around for a couple months. I hope the Steem guild system does work where Curie takes off. as being spread too thin is one of the big problems with retaining users via rewards. it would also be a waste to spend time just trying to get the newest of the new to stay. Like the old addage of businesses not caring about their regular customers as much as they do about getting brand new ones (ie. numbers game); until, of course, those customers leave...and the business finds out who it was supported them most all along!

Well said...
If things don't change gaining new users wont be the issue when all the regulars walk away.
That's a good point you made there, but there is a difference. Businesses are always seeking new customers because that's where their money is generated. Steemit is paying us for good content, not the other way around. It could be said that we are paying them with our attention and writing is work after all, but rewarding someone early will keep them active, just as rewarding the sustained output of loyal contributors will keep them contributing. Steemit needs to care about all their contributors.
yes gotta do both. Its not necessarily possible, but people are happy with getting 20$ for their posts early on
also businesses that optimize trying to make more money off reurn customers usually do better. that is easier than say increasing sales via increasing customers. because a 1%-5% sales increase is good,. When the hype of something is down. For the average business
Agreed
