I am new here. The major problem is that this platform maybe difficult to involve as you need 3 days to create your account. Also, the contents are free to “view”. You are not required to login or leave comments. Therefore, most of the user become a silent read-only user. To overcome this problem, fast registration is a must. Just like create a Facebook account in a minute will be the best.
Money actually can encourage “creators” to create. While creativity is not well promoted in most society.

It must be free to view. Imagine you could see youtube videos only with an account. It would never grown so fast at it had. It the same mechanism that works at free to play games. You attract alot of people because its free, then if they like they will produce, watch and interact with the system.
Content should be free to view, otherwise Steemit would be losing traffic as search engines would look past indexing this platform's content. The more accessible the content one publishes, the better! As for your claims of silent users, this is not what I've seen at all. I think you should learn about SEO and social networking, as neither of your claims fit the 7 years of experience I've had on social media at all.
If people aren't engaging with you and your content, its probably because you're laying silent and not talking. The principals of social networking remain generally the same regardless of the platform you're using. If you aren't talking, then no one is listening either.
