This was great. I think the issue you are having is just a matter of timing. If someone isn't looking for (or isn't ready for) the experience Steemit has, they will not value the effort.

And if someone isn't into working in a serialized way potentially on top of their current job, they won't be ready either.

At this point, I have shared this with as many people as I can and I am waiting for them to come back to me with questions.
