You are right! The point of this post isn't that what we are discussing here now is unimportant, it is important and necessary for new users to get full use out of steemit! Rather, that we should be talking about this stuff, and also focusing on increasing conversation on topics that non crypto people want to read.
I really wanted to use this cool tool that @maruitso developed, to graphically show what we are focused on, and maybe what we focus a bit too little on. :)
