The several issues with Steemit (as I see it):
- Poor user interface
- Spam, plagiarism and unfair distribution of voting power
If they can find ways to combat these problems then we can lower the barrier of entry for many more users. The registration process alone is enough to deter people, as I know several who have lost their passwords.
These are growing pains. People are not familiar with how to store and keep the account keys safe. The newer generation will adopt the concept better. My mother for instance still uses checks. For her, Steemit is not the right place, but she doesn’t use social media anyway.
The user interface is getting a makeover. @theuxyeti is a UX designer and is working on one right now. He is taking inputs from the community. Feel free to go over to his page and take a look at what he has done. If you leave a comment with him, tell him I sent you. He will appreciate that I sent traffic his way.
Thanks! Yes I’m still working thru my interface. We started coding it last week
There he is 😀
I enjoy the interface but do agree there are improvements to be made. And there are spam / plagiarism bots that I've noticed on here, I think they do a nice job.
@hotsauceislethal for a better UI experience I recommend busy.org, it's 100 times much more friendly and aesthetically pleasing. The second point I agree 100%
