I am sure most of you guys know that the Crypto market and especially the Steem & SBD chart are steadily going downhill and we really don't fucking like that.
After all most of us have come here because we heard that you can make fast cash here on Steem and that statement itself is correct.
But did the people who convinced you to come here tell you that from a perspective of experience or because they were themselves in a state of being hyped?
I know that the person who got me here himself was hyped because he did already quit...
Why are so many content creators that can make more cash here than compared to their own blog leaving Steem?
The following graphs, I am sure, look familiar to many of you guys...

Steem Backed Dollars chart source: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/steem-dollars/
Absolutely terrifying graphs for everyone that has invested a lot into this platform. Those 2 graphs (or similar looking graphs) are the reason that many content creators have left Steem.
I have to admit, if this continues I will soon have to get welfare or a damn 9-5 job because I can barely pay my bills anymore!
furthermore, I am also working on moving away from this place and this downtrend in the Crypto world has made everything exceptionally harder for me and for many other people.
But these graphics are not the only reasons why people are leaving!
Even More Reasons Why People are Leaving Steem
People have come here with the wrong expectations. And wrong expectations always happen when they are made from a lack of knowledge.
Like I wrote above, the person that brought me here was himself hyped by this platform and how easy it is to make money here than compared to writing on your own blog and that statement is still true.
However, most people only make pennies in the first 5-6 months and that is because they are not contributing to the Steem platform, to Steem communities and they are not valuing other people here on Steem (most pretend).
Steem is only virtual that is true, but I have found friends that I have a lot in common with and with which I get along with very well.
I am gonna be very honest here, most Discord channels are dead unless there is a way for that Steemian to increase his profits.
Talk about uncomfortable truths in the chat or actually anything outside of Steem and people go silent and I see that everywhere. The community aspect of Steem was once great I thought, but after a year of daily Steem experience, I can say with 100% conviction that most Steem communities are no real communities as people only care about the profits.
Besides that most content creators just drown in the masses because they only preach tolerance, peace, vegetables, pacifism and everything else that the media already tries to force into our minds to further control us.
Everyone knows that this is only virtue signaling, this is not how you make money as a content creator as you simply lack uniqueness.
Universalism is absolutely rampant here on Steem and it would be easy for many content creators to stand out here if they would have the guts to be themselves instead of just repeating what they have learned in school and from TV.
Another reason why content creators quit and don't make it here is because they simply do not have the patience to stay when shit goes downhill and they also do not have the willingness to learn.
I have hosted over 13 Minnow Support Contests that rewards users for creating great looking content and I always add tips to increase your content but almost everyone does not care.
The list goes on and on and there are many more reasons why people quit, but the graph and the wrong expectations are the greatest reasons why content creators quit.
My Prediction for Content Creators on Steem
The majority of the content here on Steem, and it sucks that I have to say this but it needs to be said is worse than the generic blog post by author xXBillyBoy1990Xx.
There are some true gems out there and it is easy to spot them because most of the content is just bad so people that create good content will be spoken about a lot.
However, besides the rare good content, I see no value in Steem if the content does not get better. The greed of the people has essentially ruined Steem.
This is why blog authors create better content, they write because they usually want to write about something that they stand for unlike here on Steem where universalism, dicksucking for upvotes and virtue signaling for money is normal.
"BUT MUH TOLERANCE, GREATEST CONTENT, YOU ARE SO NICE, YOU HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE, WANNA BE FRIENDS AND SHARE VOTES?"
The witness "game" is corrupt and new witnesses don't have a chance till they buy upvotes from whales or suck the dicks of the top witnesses and whales.
If we want to increase the value of Steem we have to create value and not invest in things that make Steem even worse and stop creating shitty content and comments.
I am absolutely tired of all the dicksucking that is going on here on Steem, I won't call out names because I am not about ruining people, I am about improving this platform.
But if I was about calling out names I would have to mention 90% here on Steem.
So contribute to this platform, create content that improves the lives of other people and not only yourself, and make business decisions based on honor and profit and never on profit alone.
If the content here on Steem will remain shit its value will never increase by itself (it only increases when Bitcoin increases).
Here is what you can do:
1. Stop being fake to get upvotes.
2. Create content that enriches the life of other people.
3. Stop using platforms or systems that harm Steem.
4. Don't quit Steem.
5. Have patience.
6. Learn how to create better content.
7. Avoid the honorless short-sighted profit chasers.
8. Don't be afraid to be yourself.
