just a note..... FB is NOT easy to use for older people.......or safe when they first make an account.....but that doesn't stop people that don't know anything about computers and internet safety from using it because , as you say, all their friends are there.
Don't even ask how many times I have had to 'fix' my Mom's FB and how many times I have tried to explain why add's and strangers posts show up in her newsfeed that she has no idea is called a 'newsfeed'
so shitty sights can work and make tons of money because it is already happening......
point being it doesn't take MUCH to make a site 'easy' to use.
but that is a whole post unto itself.......
Great post!!! and great graphic's!!
Thanks, @snook! I have been off of FB for nearly 10 years and it was not very friendly back then. It wasn't until just a year or two ago that my Mother decided to get on there. We have lots of work to do before we get her on Steemit..LOL
I agree that making a site 'easy' to use is hard to do! Mainly because an engineer is developing it, not an average user. This is the case with so many platforms and it really does make it difficult for users to really capitalize on the features. Especially when they change features constantly! Like Pinterest changed their app every 2 weeks for years and now it is unrecognizable from what it was intended to be. Too far from a usable and enjoyable platform now and who knows what bright ideas they have lined up next. They simply do not understand that we, regular people, do not want to relearn the same platform every two weeks and we want to have some level of expectation when we use something we know.
Steemit is going to change in major ways going forward, much will remain 'unseen' to the average user, however, it will open doors for new opportunity. That should give us all an advantage to incentivize new users and make a more enjoyable atmosphere.
THANKS1,000,000 @snook!!
