I can agree with most points made in this,.Tho the company its self does nothing in the form of advertisement. So its really up to the users to remember to click those share features to outside networks, i think steemit can go far but there needs to be a little push i understand updates and that;s still in beta but still.
The fud / flaming and circle of the same posts over and over again is kinda boring. We need to get other communities involved. Cosplay people, animation artist, tech reviewers, food reviewers and much more. This community seems to have a select theme and from what i can tell yes there is art and stuff but from what I've read and seen it needs more.
communities will help create more diversity on the platform. I got to say that, even though the design is very simple and clean, there is no thoughts on increasing social share...everything related to marketing on this platform right now is an after-thought.
It suffers from what most corporate websites suffers from: "Slick website that makes no sales"
Im of the same view you can make it look as nice as you want, but if only some many people know about your site its kinda useless, That whole thinking of the end game sites do can kill a site pretty quickly.
