You may be right, but I'm not yet convinced. Like any social media platform, the value you gain out of it comes from the people you choose to follow. I've thankfully avoided most of the drama quite successfully. I've introduced a lot of people to Steemit and when I think through why they didn't stick around and continue posting, I think it's much more complicated than that. I'm thinking I might to a little survey and ask them directly, but many I have already talked to say they are just too busy to write things, but I also think it has to do with whether or not their friends are already here (they aren't). The network effect is a huge hurdle to overcome. That, and many people are not online all the time like most of us here. They just don't really care that much about online stuff.

I introduced quite a few people too, most of them online "junkies". The concept is very interesting and they're all hooked, initially. And it's all fun and games until they get flagged by asshole or they stumble upon some drama filled post - and you simply can't avoid those. The feeling they get after a while is that it's all "an insider game", and there is simply too much aggression in the tone and in the majority of actions to stick around. The aggression became so pervasive that even if you choose carefully your circle of friends, you can't avoid it anymore. Seems to me that those who are still sticking around either have a thick skin or they just want to milk the system and run away once it dries up.
