Man oh man!
So, the other day I decided to venture back on over to Steem to see what was going on there these days.
I noticed a few things right off the bat.
- It still looks the same.
- The top posts are mostly in Chinese and/or Korean?
- The activity is nowhere to be found.
- Communities are terrible.
I was bored and decided to open up an account there. I heard they were giving out TRX rewards for posts now as well. TRX rewards equal your SP rewards.
So, I made a few posts over the last week. My first one did okay. I received $6+ worth of upvotes. But, every post after that received nothing or a few cents.
The biggest amount of upvotes I received on one of those posts was 5. 😝
Now, I don't claim to be some great author or anything. But, my posts aren't horrible by any stretch. I definitely expected a bit more than what I got. Some posts were cross-posted from HIVE and the interaction and rewards on Hive were FAR FAR FAR superior.
I also noticed the communities are severely lacking as well. The most popular ones seem to be in Chinese. Outside of that and a couple boring English ones, there's really nothing.
I don't understand how people still post there. It reminds me of a graveyard of what was once Steem.
Here is another screenshot of Steem Engine's volume, it's quite sad with the largest 24h volume being only $419 of HIVEP ironically.
Justin Sun really did kill it after all, huh?
So...
I was curious if anyone here on LEO or HIVE are still active at Steem? If so, is it really THIS bad now?
