When I can get this for two months and less time creating posts because the UI is significantly better, and don't have to push my content out to several Discord channels every time I post in order for people to see it, why should I stick around?
Seriously, two months. And my Steem account right now, after a year-and-a-half, is worth less than $500. I spend more time on Narrative now. Several other Steemians have jumped ship for Narrative, as well.

I am on Narrative but not doing anything on it. People complain about Steem being involved to learn, Narrative sucks big time on that point.
Yeah, it's not like any other website. That's for sure. My problem with Steemit is the primitive UI and lack of development. Plus, I have to go off-site to promote posts to get anyone to read them. It's very time-intensive. I picked up on Narrative pretty quickly.
I don't really have an issue with the UI and there is development starting to take place. It's not all that much different than the UI used on other sites including Medium.com where btw, promotion is done more off the site than on even with them having curators (real curators not just upvoters) on staff to find content.
There are several FB groups where content is shared from Medium and of course on Twitter. Having to share on other sites to get notice on one is not that big of a deal.
I'm not talking about promoting on other websites. I've been doing online marketing since the 1990s. I'm talking about having to use Discord to promote to other Steemians because the trending pages are eaten up by low-quality posts propped up by bidbots and there is no simple way to promote to an audience without tagging individuals, which is tedious. Curation trails are only a small help, and it's all for a pittance.
So, apparently you didn't get the clear message of what I told you. On Medium one needs to go to groups on Facebook that have been setup to promote their posts... just like Steemians go to discord.
Even though Medium has tried to put a system into place for content discovery.. it is not enough so people have to go off site to promote their to other Medium users.
I understand what you're saying. I don't think you're understanding me. Sharing Medium posts on Facebook is just like sharing any other post on Facebook. With Medium, if you're a member of their get-paid-to-publish club, they may or may not put you on the front page. But they have other avenues baked into the system. I submitted a story to Hacker Noon and it was widely read. Got a few claps. Okay, yippee yi yay.
On Steemit, today, I can make $2.00 for a post. It's almost guaranteed--if I am willing to spend an hour promoting that post on a dozen different Discord channels. If I don't do that, I'll likely only make $1.00. On Narrative, I'll make a dollar if I fart.
So as I understand it at a glance, as the SF niche owner you should be looking to recruit people with expertise and subject-based writing skill to participate in that niche, right? So tell me why I ought to come and start generating content for you.
(Also, is that posted fiction or articles about SF or some of each?)
Yes, that is correct. I prefer to cast a wider net and just invite people to Narrative because it's a platform with a ton of potential for many niches.
That's a great question, but you wouldn't be generating content for me. You'd be generating it for your audience. But there are a ton of reasons why you might be interested.
Yes. We have fiction writers, reviewers, other types of non-fiction writing about spec-fic, a podcaster, and poets publishing within our niche. If it's about speculative fiction, it's welcome.
I'd love to see you aboard. I go by @gardengnomepubs on Narrative.
