I just spent 30 minutes of my life reading the following post and all its comments. The debate included 84 responses, most of them lengthy.

I suggest you take the time to read the post and the debate and let me know what conclusions one can draw. ....
I am not sure how bots and other delegations are going to curate without content yet the argument appears to be that investing in voting bots and resteems creates better ROI than creating content and manual curation. The problem I see is that those bots vote for the same 'whale' supported content that every other large account supports (you know that incestuous stuff I was talking about in Steemit Fatigue.
So I was asking the question about why retention of content creeation is so poor and I espoused what I felt were a few reasons.... but I missed the main point. Again, go read that blog post and the comments.
To my mind, Steemit platform is doomed. Without user retention they can produce as many SMT's as they wish, run as many voting bots as they wish .... but the real currency.. content creators will be gone, or they will come and go as fast as a millenials attention span lasts ... somewhere near a nanesecond {smile}
Saturday my two years are up ..... at present the scales are tilted to using my time on more productive activities ....
