It's incredibly difficult for new users these days. There seems to be far less support for them. When I joined almost 2 years ago, I would occasionally get these huge upvotes from initiatives such as curie that would also give more exposure and then even more upvotes for my content. What is there for newcomers now?

The frequency of bot and app voting has also pulled the value of votes down. This makes people feel insignificant and adds further to our poor retention rate. I was hoping the fall in price and market cap ranking would push investors to drop delegation from bots and become active to help this platform. I have been wrong so far.
