Ever since I had joined on Steemit, I saw people come and go. Majority, of course, are minnows. They may be invited by members who are thriving on this site. They created their #introduceyourself posts which may have earned them a good amount. Aftet their introduction posts, their succeeding blogs barely earns good amount. Hence, many of them stopped writing or posting.
I can feel the frustrations of many members. I even experienced such almost 7 months ago. I even remember when my #introduceyourself post only earned few cents and other posts earned zero. If I let frustrations unnerve me, I could've left the Steem world. I persevered posting until some of my posts were recognized, and also noticed the helpfulness of 
I admit I am getting worried of the value of SBD and Steem which dropped to a little higher than $2. But as I look back, SBD is a little more or less than $1. In fact, when SBD went $1.7 from the usual $1 before it reached its peak, I am happy. That's my mindset at the moment. Besides, it just follows the trend of majority of cryptocurrencies which their respective values has plummeted.

Smaller account owners or minnows are worried about whales fighting each other. They are worried that if whales left Steemit, then it may start its doom. I am not sure about that, but of course, we are all hoping that everyone makes peace and keep Steemit as a great site.
This is the common reason minnows giving up on Steemit. I even saw members of several months getting disappointed and posting they may be giving up. They are insinuating of getting ignored by whales, or some whales do not support the minnows. It may be true or not, but we should also look at people or whales who are helpful. Some supportive whales may unable to support due to the volume of new members who joined Steemit, which was mostly through promoting Steemit campaigns. However, the sad thing is some members join but eventually left. I agree that there must be changes to be done to keep the health of Steemit strong, thus giving help to minnows would be a great thing.
Why not enjoy Steemit? We didn't pay anything when we joined as minnows. Since the site is still very much functional, let's keep sharing anything and socialize with one another, at the same time earn some amount either big or small. Besides, I also earned a good amount here and a lot of us does. We gained new friends as well. It even honed our writing skills, and even improved our personality from what we are reading or even dealing with people. Let's be hopeful, and keep Steeming.
