Absolutely not. I remember reading that someone said there are about 13,000 accounts on Steemit. That is absolutely nothing compared to Tumblr, which essentially achieves the same task as Steemit but with a much higher magnitude of quality. Once morons realized they are too late to hop on the train and their investments are only lining the pockets of the whales on top the money will dry up. Once the money dries up the platform is dead because that is literally the only draw to it as of now.
I had already pointed it out 5 times but let's do it again. If we use Alexa Ranking, Steemit is nowhere as popular as Reddit clones like Voat. How could anyone say Steemit is mainstream when it has less users than Voat and other Reddit knockoffs? As well Steemit has not been providing information like user retention, user attrition, et al. I imagine thousands of users have already left the website, realizing they can't make $10,000 a post like a hot chick. Never mind this is a coin where less than 5% of the total supply is available for trading. There's red flags everywhere for me.
Tumblr (2007), Voat (2014), etc... have had years (Tumblr almost a decade) head start. Steemit has only been out for 3 months. Those comparisons are ridiculous and misleading. I am sure Tumblr, Voat, etc. (insert any social media web site here) did not start off as good as it is today. There is a lot of talk of how to improve the user interface, content curation, the trending/etc algorithms. There are changes being made everyday to how the ecosystem works to make it better. For instance this: https://github.com/steemit/steem/issues/177
Anyone can make thousands of dollars on a post. The ones crying about not being able to do it immediately are being unrealistic in thinking that posting content is easy money and Steemit get rich quick scheme. It takes a lot of time and energy to make posts. Only a couple or few posts out of maybe a hundred may get a decent pay out. It is hard work. If you want easy money go to a casino and hope to get lucky. But it does pay off.
I made $250 by simply writing a comment yesterday. You never know when you will strike it rich by getting up votes from a whale or many minnows. The only way to do it is to keep posting. Those that give up will obviously never make anything. Then, people like you guys want to sit and cry that you can't make an easy $10k.... give me a break! Truth is you guys haven't even given it an effort since you're too busy trolling Steem on Bitcointalk.
