We need lite/guest accounts first. Communities aren't what will help onboarding.
It's not about having the community option, it's being able to easily enter the community.

People here tend to think that "if you build it they will come"...

No they won't.

Take a look at the folks you gathered in the GU chat.. (Brilliant move btw. I see what you're doing and where's that going. 😉)
even they have a problem when trying to figure out steem and they're crypto knowledgable.

Guest accounts are absolutely essential. What I'm saying is take a look at what @steempeak is doing and maybe consider voting their proposal.

Only if you make it as easy to make an account here as it is on reddit, Facebook, will people come.
Newbs don't know how awesome we are when they stumble upon steem and if you make them wait a week or even a few hours to get an account they never will. Lol.

Human attention span on the internet is extremely short. We shouldn't underestimate that.
Pinging Andy for a quick lesson. 😂
@andrarchy.

Make me rich you fuckers. Hahaha
