Great post. I think that most people are sheep and it presents a dilemma, where they will just stay where the majority of people are/where they feel comfortable/familiar. Many are just not aware of it, or if they are, they might think it is some kind of scam, or too complicated for them to comprehend. They like to be spoon fed and are largely consumers, not so much creators. I think that making things a bit more inviting would be a great strategy and that the best way we can attract the masses to steemit, is by focusing our creative energy here and withdrawing our support of the major platforms (keep your FB etc profiles but start linking everything back to steemit and stop giving FB original creative content)...upvoted/following :)
