I agree with every single line you wrote here. I could detail our plans at SteemSTEM if you are interested. The short version is that it is damned hard to get the public we aim to get on Steem, and it is even harder to find investors both on Steem and in the outside world. However, it is already two years we are making our way here, and I guess this will continue (until we all burn out at work ^^).

I would love to hear the detail of SteemSTEM plans. Please do share them.
And yes, it is so hard to get the general public onboard and to get investors, but maybe thats because there are to many little pockets trying when if combined these pockets could be more effective (from a marketing view)
The long term goal is to get research institutes and scientists so that they could use Steem, via steemstem.io (our app under development), as a medium for science communication. Science communication is vital today and it would be great to have Steem playing a role in there. We have started SteemSTEM 2 years ago with the aim of making Steem a better place for STEM and we today have very ambitious goals. We hope that they are shared, and we are at the moment looking for early investors in the project.
On the mid-term, we will get on board a couple of institutes plus a know youtuber so that they will start using the platform. With something to showcase, maybe getting (internal and external) investors on board will be easier.
Here is the short version (so that there is a trace somewhere for people following this conversation ;) )
