I see the platform as similar to reddit in many ways. I have never really used Reddit but obviously I am aware of its popularity. If Steemit can gain a bit more publicity, usage would shoot up, however sign ups are holding it back at present. I had to wait for 5 days for my confirmation e-mail etc and people dont want to wait that long. Most sites, sign ups are instant and whilst I accept that Steemit is different, most people wont understand or appreciate the differences.

The approval process is manual, so no surprise it takes so much time. It would be nice to be able to register and blog right away. I tried reddit, while I see the similarities, somehow I didn't get used to it.
I agree and I appreciate its manual but most people do not come across Steemit and intend to start using it next week. It can be very disappointing to register and then find you cant use it for several days. I am certainly used to receiving confirmation e-mails immediately, clicking on the link and then being able to start using whatever site it is. I have been around crypto for years and appreciate the differences etc but most people wont. I think this process needs to be streamlined for wider adoption.
I know this. But so is Bitcoin! I was just making the point that for wider adoption, sign up processes need to be slicker! Not a criticism, rather an observation!
