hello @jujarmerchant, not everyone join the steemit because of the payout I guess, you can see so many great steemians still here even though the payout not really good, eventually after the new HF20 last week, but you're re right... those who spent their time to create good contents post and stay with the community will survive and will attract more people to use steemit later... at least we're still here and perhaps when the SMT's here on Steemit Next March, 2019... everyone who choose to stay and grow together will gain more than today.
