It's harder than you think isn't it! I wrote a few of the scripts for the first @steemonboarding videos (website hopefully coming online in February).
As an A-level teacher (16-19) I've accepted it's not possible to simplify something without getting the whole truth across. It is just impossible to translate complex social theory into something even a reasonably bright 17 year old is going to understand without upsetting someone who has a 'higher knowledge' of that theory (dumbing down is something of an irritant to HE social theorists)...
So it is with talking about steem to new steemians.... I'm fully expecting a lot of purists to moan about the onboarding videos being innacurate or misleading.... it's inevitable, but also unrealistic to expect that not to be necessary if you want to get the word out to the masses. You have to start somewhere!
Maybe that's why you're not finding your flow..... you know too much about steem!
I was about to say that @steemonbaording is a great way to do so bit saw your comment! I think the approach they are taking with integrating communities to also present themselves as new users onboard will be a great process to capture attention early and lead them to communities with similar interruptions which should improve engagement and retention. I am very excites about the project!
