Hi @theycallmedan,
You hit on an important point, that few with the ability to change the user experience seem to understand. Large numbers of People stopped going to shopping malls for holiday shopping not because Amazon was the most sophisticated online retailer of its day, but they did so because it was easy. Amazon gift wrapped your presents and delivered them with a card from you. And if you didn’t like something for practically any reason, you returned it for a full refund and Amazon paid the shipping. In the words of Jeff Bezos whom you quote it’s the customer experience and customer service which lead to wide spread adoption.

Steemit has taken strides or shall I say was founded with unique ideas which still make it stand out, starting with the account names being names and all the passwords for security. Steemit has s great system to make the adoption of the platform easier then the others. But even thought Steemit is far ahead of many of its competitors in the friendliness of its graphic user interface, the learning curve here is still very steep and it’s a constant deterrent to mass adoption.

We need to stop comparing ourselves to competitors with far worse graphic user interfaces and compare us to widely adopted platforms and build a graphic user interface that a child could figure out and then we will see our number of users swell.
