You are absolutely right about every word you said. I feel the most newbies dont really understand what Steemit is about. They think it is a platform like facebook or twitter and dont even know the function of a witness here. They dont join discord channels, they dont discuss Steemit problems or even vote for witnesses.
Whatever happened is a very big change on the platform whether it is positive or negative we will know after some weeks. But it will encourage the most people to make better content and care about engagement and connecting with other users. Steemit isnt about a single person's work, but about building a team from all countries to change the Eco-system and the future generally.
Enjoy your weekend!
Part of the problem is having to join a discord channel in the first place. Fb or youtube have groups, private messeging etc. Youbdont gotta run around to 10 different sites to use one

I think Steemit is same. You have different groups and discord channels. You can join anyone you want depending on your interests. You can also private msg and invited friends. I am already in more than 10 discord channels and have many friends there.
I dont use discord nor do I feel like having to hop cross platform to interact with people. I don't even use Facebook but at least facebook has private messaging, groups, pages, etc. Here if I want to talk to you I have to visit your blog feed and leave an unrelated comment on your recent post for all to see. It's just not efficient. Your average user doesn't want to have to use Steemit, discord, telegram, steemchat just to communicate with people from steemit
I also dont like chatting much, but visit discord to ask about something or help in a project that I like. But sometimes it is helpful to know many things that you dont hear about.
The only application that I know has a mesenging service is @dtube.
@taskmaster4450 I didnt know they had that! Lately when I tried to post a video it didnt go through :(
@dtube never works. every few weeks/months I'll be like I'm gonna give @dtube another shot and without fail it disapoints, I try 20 times to upload something before getting error mssages and eventually giving up
Finally I could upload a video today! The browser was the problem. I was using Chrome and it didnt upload it, but worked out with Firefox. Try a different browser.
