All those I on boarded over the years used steemit and briefly hive and then left due to the down voting. It also turned them off that most of the posts are the same thing over and over again. People copying each other. People posting about how much they staked that week to hive, or to a layer 2 token, people up voting things that are actually not that interesting to the majority of society and only appeal to people trying to centralize and maintain a status quo here on hive.
So people can complain about us not on boarding people. We can on board people but it is pointless if they are just going to turn around abuse them, and scare them off.
100% agreed, the situation is maddening!
