The steemit is bringing a whole new way in terms of social media. If you are here for a few weeks or months, you should have gone through great periods of happiness and great periods of sadness with your own results. It is natural that over time many people will find the path to success, and it is expected that the steemit platform evolve over time.
But lately, I've been worried about the way that the evolution of steemit is taking in terms of number of posts and daily votes, in terms of market price and in terms of accounts created daily. What was supposed to be an evolution is becoming the opposite. And that's not why steemit is little innovative. I believe the reason for this slowdown is much more associated with the arrival of new users.
Let's see some graphics;

All time Steem Price
So, now what?
These fall into graphics are very worrying. But in the general context people tend not to care, after all most here is trying to be a winner in the race for attention and appreciation. I'm very concerned about how the experiences in steemit affect the lives of peoples, especially when they are negative events that can lead people to frustration.
Unequal distribution.
This is one of the problems in steemit that can discourage anyone, even if the person is great in producing content. Even with initiatives, and with people getting more power and getting famous in steemit it is still difficult to distribute equally, or close to it, the real appreciation that some posts really deserve.
And that in fact is a factor that leads people to frustration. And consequently they spend posting least, to vote less, and eventually to leave the platform.
The next door neighbor.
This factor is a trap that anyone can apply yourself, and the result will only take you to bad feelings. I believe that people should stop getting comparing with the results of other people. It is very important to educate new users that way, otherwise they always will experience being the victims of injustice.
One thing is to observe and consider the good or evil someone, and make it a motivation or an orientation of what to do or not to achieve our own achievements. When this is the case, we observe, learn and apply what will work according to our lives. Another thing, very different is to look around and find better or worse than other people and do nothing about it.
How do the new users come.
I believe that many people come to steemit with a lot of wrong ideas of how will their performance. Pretty much most of us sell advertising that people can make money by publishing texts. But we forget to educate new users in order to show how really steemit works in terms of distribution of wealth and values.
I believe it is very important to learn this before you begin publishing text on the platform, otherwise many will get frustrated and simply stop using the steemit. The higher the expectations, the greater the chances of getting frustrated.
How do these arguments relate to the fall in the graphs.
Increased frustration of new users and even old users, of having waited so long in line to join the party and have not succeeded, reflects very well in the fall of posts, votes and created accounts. When a User leaves the platform, just as he may have made propaganda in favor of steemit in the past, he can go to speak negatively of steemit according to the bad experiences he had.
I believe that very few people think in very profound terms of the real value of the platform and the relationships that people create.
