Science blogging as you said is a niche but I think we are underestimating the value of a science post and the interest that science could generate in people. This being said, I think it's important to use the appropriate media to convey scientific information. I think that entertaining an audience using text is more difficult because for readers it feels like doing work. Science could be made more digestible in audio or video format. There, the audience is much more heterogeneous just think about how many people love watching documentaries or listening to science podcasts. As this platform evolves I am sure we will also adapt and find paths of least resistance for scientific divulgation. Anyway, I like what you did in this post, we need more discussion and it is useful sometimes to stop and think about where are we going and if there are better paths to reach our destination, definitely the journey so far has been filled with interesting people.

I wanted to use the articles content to start a discussion. To plant the seeds of thinking about this into more minds then just the steemSTEM team. We won't find good ways forward with out extensive community involvement. Much like blogging appeal, our success is truly dependent on the community.
