"Hey everybody! I don't get why you are all having fun, I mean what's the big deal about a Facebook killing social network that is profitable to be apart of?"
Noone notices and everyone else is still enjoying the party.
I'm not seeing it. I guess I just get frustrated too easily with sites when I can't figure out how they work. On other sites were I post articles I have the ability to add pictures, links, change fonts, edit certain text to 'bold' or 'italic', etc. I don't see any of that capability on Steemit, although clearly others have found it.
But I'm all for anything that could potentially kill Facebook. I never did join Facebook though, so I never did know how that works either Maybe if I did, this site would make a lot more sense to me. I can't figure out why there is a blog section and then a chatroom. Are the two even related?
The chatroom is separate from Steemit and made by some users on the platform (I forget offhand which devs). My recommendation since you are a stock market kind of guy is to scan through the Steemit whitepaper and read their main site (https://steem.io/) to get a better understanding of the platform.
Walks into a party.

"I'm leaving!"
Party continues.
So you found the post! Yay! How did you find it? Where in hell did it show up so that you could even see it?
I keep scrolling down the "New" section for content.

Maybe I'm just too old, lol.
