I think there is no market because there is no stickiness. And the reason is because the concept of earning money from blogging (or curating) is flawed as a mass adoption onboarding.

I don't think the concept is flawed, it's just that it shoudln't be advertised as a blogging site to make money...Steemit should be a social media site just like facebook with options to make money.

That was the concept. So it is flawed.

You are suggesting changes to the concept, that retain some facets, such as you wish to retain the concept of earning money from doing more varied activities yet you didn't specify whether this is via voting or how it will be decided objectively who is paid and how much.

This is probably the biggest mistake they've made which they can still rectify.

You seem to contradict yourself. Are you claiming that advertising blogging for money is a mistake but advertising doing other activities for money is not? Or are you suggesting that advertising doing anything for money is a mistake and instead only the appeal of the activities should be promoted with the money making aspect de-emphasized?

Steemit should be a social media site just like facebook with options to make money. Basically like games on facebook . Steemit should be like a social media site with many funny ways to make real money ( blogging being one of them) but you could have surveys,games,helping people with questions,predictions markets,etc...

It seems you think that it should be fun in a myriad of activities and it should be about earning money for participating.

To me the main reason people leave the site is
-the price decline, users have less rewards than they were used too

So if the money made is not significant, then earning money as a theme fails.

But there is no way we can make a variant of Steem that pays millions of users significant money, as that would require 10% inflation on a $10 billion market cap. Yet there is an alternative, which is paying insignificant money that via investment appreciation becomes significant (and that is in my design but with another clever paradigm-shift twist).

Seems you haven't used your calculator before making your suggestions.

-the non social friendly site, no friend suggestion,no way to PM people, UI is too basic with no social media option

I agree emphatically!

- lack of ways to earn rewards/ there are some people who tried blogging but never received any rewards, those people should be able to find alternative ways to earn.

I also agree, but we also need to use our calculator and think realistically.
