Usage and users are not the same thing. What puts a strain on the max block size or the reserve ratio is usually insane usage caused by badly developed bot behavior. There is some UI improvements necessary to help new users understand what bandwidth limitations in fact are. But I don't think the situation is so dire that we should stop telling the world about the Steem blockchain.
FYI: I have a second account with 6 SP, I also have a wife with about 100 SP and kids with SP in the range from 2 to 60 SP. I also have friends that I invited to this platform, who have less than 20 SP at the moment.
I do care. Do not try to presume what I care or don't care about based on wrong assumptions.
I agree, most strain on the blockchain (huge amounts of transactions) is coming from bots.
I am concerned about the first impressions.
Once you are hooked to Steem, you don't leave that fast;)
But if you are a new user and just get the message, that your bandwidth is exceeded..well, you leave and forget this platform.
In your case, you can explain this to your family and friends, they will understand in most cases.
But John Doe out there goes back to his MySpace blog;)
And maybe tells some friends how bad his experience here has been.
This scenario is to avoid.
