See that's just it...

Everyday people shouldn't go through 'real world editors' and this lie that Steem must only have Pulitzer Prize winning articles and content is insane.

No it's not anecdotal. I work with hundreds of community members every single day and bust my ass to bring people to Steem.

Two things scare them away the most....The confusion with account keys and the potential of downvotes.

Heaven forbid you create a blockchain of encouraging and supportive members....
