And this is why a few weeks aback I decided Steemit isn't for me & I haven't been back since until today.
Instead of me making an effort, I will only come on here when I have something written up on another site & just copy it over to here.
After I tried to get over 200 people leaving FB to come here & join & not ONE of them did, I realized Steemit doesn't really care at all, & this is a site purely for the geeks, NOT for regular lay people.
A shame.
I'm trying to make an effort on MeWe, but they are no longer responding to my e-mails & I think all the spammers went over there since I got almost 100 fake profiles trying to add me as a friend within 3 days.
It's true we do not handle mainstream users well.
Really Steem is a good fit for self=starters and independent problems solvers. I am not sure we will ever get good at onboarding those who need some help.
As someone who has been trying to onboard alot of people and getting very little traction because the barriers to entry I can only say, you hit the nail on the head... And the community can't be the one to fix this!
We can't fix it! we can try to help, but that's about it.
It's not that simple. Why somebody is going to move to another place if you are confortable were you are?
Well, things are going to get complicated in the mainstream world before the exodus begins.
Corporations are going to fail over and over and that is going to push cryptos like this one to the mainstream world.
