I agree so much with all that's been said already. Steemit is an uphill battle in many ways. People think they will earn more than they do. They come check it out and leave, at least a good amount do.

I think there's a line to walk here. Not all those that join are meant to stay for various reasons. Valuable new members are being lost for sure, but what about those that were fairly established but have gone missing posting-wise for a month or two now? Can we do anything to retain those people too?
