I see this as the biggest problem with Twitter also.

Twitter is my favorite app, but it's because I have spent five plus years curating my feed.

There is a fundamental problem with the way they onboard new users and this is why so many people don't stick around.

The onboarding process asks you to select interests and then recommends people to follow based on those interests.

However, they often recommend celebrities and 'popular' accounts.

These people are often terrible at Twitter, so new users see a bunch of boring, self-promotional content in their feed and don't come back.

Or pay bills with a credit card and get points on the card for your trouble. Plus an extra month to pay.

This is the first thing that stuck out to me also. It's a very polarizing topic and needs to be said differently.

Agreed. Depending on the search the #17 position might not appear until the third page. The vast majority of people don't get past the top three results and almost no one makes it to the bottom of page two or page three. You might get one extra visit a month moving from 40 to 17.

Also the penguin update doesn't specifically penalize new sites. It was primarily directed at sites with unnatural back link profiles.
