moreso than the fact that it is hard to get discovered is the fact that the UI isn't very good. Think about the massive amount of people that spend the entire day on FB for exactly zero money. I know Steemit isn't trying to BE FB, but some level of more social contact would be a decent place to start. I don't know the answers and I am ok with it the way it is. It is very difficult to get any FB converts when the system is the way that it is now though.
