In my opinion, there are two types of newcomers, the ones that put all their attention and efforts into understanding the ecosystem without the urgency of getting rich quickly and the ones that come for the idea of HIVE as a faucet with chances of getting rich quickly.
When the seconds realize that it is not easy to get rewarded in the platform, they quit.
I onboarded several people in my 5 years here and I can tell you that their average activity time on HIVE was 1 week, even taking into account my help and lessons they quit putting as an excuse the lack of time.
