Humans are programmed to interact with one another. It's ingrained within our DNA and thus makes us social creatures by nature.

Agree! And when you add actual rewards you can materialize then it becomes social platform on steroids. The main reason steemit has “only” one million users is that people are not informed of such a platform. Steemit should target these people in some way. For example using bots in you tube or other social platforms. Even giving some rewards to get a tast. I personally have never been fan of Facewhat or other social platforms, but I knew immediately when I found out about steemit that it’s different, that it’s something I finaly would love to be part of. And add SMT’s to it, in one or two years it will get mainstream 😆!
