I agree that just like there are people pumping kodak and long island blocktea, there are people who hear anything about crypto or blockchain, and it's immediately "bitcoin is a bubble" and shut down. When Facebook was exclusive to people with college emails, facebook may have had a perfect demographic of people to pitch to, but now they are attempting to catch everyone and the narrative about crypto in the mainstream won't allow for a smooth transition.
Reading the title made me immediately think the same thing. Steemit can be adopted by an interested user, instead of one that is reluctant and doesn't want to help support the community to increase its value. Valuable creators from these platforms continue to vote with their feet by joining and urge their followers to research or educate them directly to continue to blockchain onboarding.
