I talk about Steem now in terms of owning part of the platform rather than earning.

It's like owning shares in a company, that's why I feel I have to do some of the tidying up that many are complaining about.

Completely agree about the hurdles of bringing new people to steem - out of five, one has got as far as posting,.

It's way too complex. I like the complexity myself, but that's because I know how the cogs turn. For outsiders it is bewildering. @goblinknackers is getting into it now, but months in, he's still learning about the intricacies.

Tribes, though fantastic in concept made it even worse for newbies. I know there are users who are still unaware of them. They don't use the tags..
