Honestly all this place needs are a bunch of people who don't care about earning Steem or understanding any of this but just want to have a place for a community and to share stuff.
Compared to running my own blog site (which I do) I see Steem right now as the most reliably censorship resistant and dependable place to publish my own work. Hence why I mirror everything with Steempress and have set up @tommyrobinson to do the same (that links failed right now, have to kick it on again).
I feel that I'm almost there as far as being able to recommend that we shift some of Tommy's audience over to here in order to discuss his stuff. Perhaps even use Steem for embed the comments on his blog. I just need to be sure I won't have to walk 5000 people through the on boarding process and then there's the resource issue.
