Yes, that would also work to Steem's advantage. Do you have any specific / actionable tips or ideas on how to promote Steemit?
You can only tell so many people you know personally or are on your Facebook. Of course, one way would be to write posts here, since they also get ranked organically by Google, and this will help Steemit a lot in the long run, as Steemit posts will be near the top of search results.
There was a guy (in Norway I think) who actually made up a Steemit desk and flyers, he went around talking to people on the street. He made a post here but I forget where it was.
There are a few guys who are going to do a Steemit car rally in Portugal.
I am going to do a video for begginers later on, for youtube, I don't have many followers there so it probably won't get much attention, but its what I can do at the moment.
There are guys in Africa who are doing steemit talks for the local community and getting each other onboard.
https://steemit.com/steemit/@papa-pepper/represent-finally-my-own-steem-mobile this guy made some logos for his car so thats a good idea to get more exposure.
I would like to do a talk in my local community on it as well to get more people interested.
The sky is the limit whatever you can come up with, good luck.
Thanks for these ideas. Yes, I think youtube may have the most potential to reach the greatest number of people, provided that you can get a decent following on the website.
