it's a rough road and a steep learning curve for sure, and it's true without investors it won't sustain. This is part of my dislike with the changes in hf20, they just seemed to make it even harder for new users. We need to attract investors and I believe the people here are what make it great, and we find this out by engaging, we can't limit how much someone engages or it becomes less attractive to new people and investors, I appreciate your opinion on this.

I see mass adoption as the only viable solution. There are way too many barriers to Steem. For starters, Steem is expensive to get into. Euro, paysomeone, Dollar, paysomeone, BTC, paysomeone, Steem :/
Put it in reverse and pay 3 more some ones to get your Euros back. Who is getting paid here? Me? Hahaha.
Ok, once you are on Steemit having purchased your 50 SP and powered up, you can now start interacting with people who want quality content but never define what quality content is, uhhm, exactly. On 1 hand, they proclaim the platform should replace FaceBook, but scoff at short one liner posts, and may flag you for having the audacity to force them to read garbage as if there are no other posts to read. Now there is such a thing as the Shit Post Police, although they don't call themselves that, where you can get paid for enforcing unwritten rules by flagging.
Don't get me wrong, I love Steemit and some of the fabulous characters I've met here; but it's set up like an add agency with nothing to market but itself. We want entertainment but won't support those that create it so they leave. We need a way to turn that around.
