My friend just met someone who knew of Steemit, understood it was a blogging site, went there, tried and left. He said it wasn't what he expected.
Its like saying, write a blog, make money (we think loads) et voila! The blog doesn't get seen by anyone, no money made and disappointment sets it. They leave.
I wish Steemit would stop setting expectations so high and wrongly. This when approaching to onboard new people. Look at the results of the last few years. STOP focusing on the blogging aspect please.
Does anyone at Steemit do anything about marketing and promotion? There are a lot of Steemians who would love to see this.
Anyhow my two cents and happy Friday,
