RE: The Normal internet is dying | The Steem Ecosystem is the future

That was a very interesting read. I'm not sure how many people are frustrated with their chosen platforms (I stopped using the few I did use when I began using Steem over a year ago), but when they do get frustrated (or banned) they need to know we exist. All I ever hear about in mainstream news is Bitcoin. We need some sort of scandal in order to get mentioned on mainstream media so that millions of people will hear of us. It is true; we do have a lot of the things you mentioned and we could definitely use more on-boarding. I feel one of the biggest problems with getting new people into our system is that they get frustrated at the long wait for approval. There needs to be links from the main page to all the alternate ways to get an account.
