You ask interesting questions, that's why you see me here:-)

Haha, I'm happy to hear that. Asking questions is one of my favourite hobbies :-)

Probably something is wrong with the promo campaign.

It's definitely a communication issues. I believe that it's not only due to marketing claims but also to a lack of education during the onboarding process.

People join this place without having any idea about the rules of the game. I had weird conversations with users about copyright during the past weeks. Actually it annoyed me that much that I stopped doing it. Many many users don't even know what copyrights are. No kidding! There was a point in time when I thought: screw it, it's not gonna be my problem if major copyright claims are addressed to steemit.com and dtube.video.

Due to unjustified expectations and lack of attention, even honest and talented bloggers can leave the platform.

Definitely. It has taken place and it will in the future, especially thinking about competitors like EOS that are just waiting to get their apps launched and invite frustrated ex-steemians to join.
