I think everything is very clearly explained in the available FAQ's, in the Steem wiki and in a lot of Steemit posts how this platform works. The information is not the problem. How information is presented is not the problem.
The laziness of many people is. Laziness to read and learn.
It's the same kind of laziness that makes people accept those long-ass Terms & Conditions contracts without reading them whenever they join the Facebooks & Googles of the internet and then are surprised after a few years that those platforms sell their data or do whatever nefarious things they do.
You can't educate people by force.
I find it a bit similar to what's happening now at a macro level with the crypto market as a whole. I've read many comments and posts in the past couple of days from people that are panicking because they clearly haven't taken the time to understand what blockchain technology is or why it is important. The kind of people that maybe have heard that bitcoin and cryptos are "hot" right now and they can make a lot of money in a short period of time without doing much. The kind of people that can't really differentiate between investments and speculations.
Word!
See, I am not arguing that all the available info is out there and readily accessible in FAQs etc. I know it is, for sure. And I don't deny that the problem is people's laziness.
My whole point is: Steem is not pick up and play accessible, and if we don't look at it pragmatically and from a lens of how the world is (people are lazy and want things easily) and instead focus on how the world should be (people find the resources, educate themselves, come to Steemit informed and ready) then we're not approaching this correctly.
That distinction between how we want it to be vs a realistic look at how people are, and how Steemit's onboarding may need to be amended as a result of this, is really what I am commenting on.
