Yes it is. As Steemit becomes more recognized and widely used, I hope more "joe rednecks" join and become active.

I agree! I personally believe that in order for Steemit to reach its full potential, it needs to be utilized by a wide variety of people. I listened to a TedTalk the other day that talked about the value of listening to many stories, instead of one. That in order to understand something fully, we need many perspectives. I've heard similar things, but never with those exact words, and they struck a chord with me that day. It's the "latest thing" I've been chewing on. haha
