I agree we need the youth to come here. Not sure about "old farts" hahaha ;) but I get you.

Big constraints are:

1. signing up... usually takes forever and most are impatient.

2. Four private keys that at first are so confusing. Most have a max of 2 keys to get into their actual home. Online is generally one key (unless two-way authentication is used).

3. When and if you get an account. You have to contend with ultra limited resource credits. Tell a teen then can only post a couple times a week..."see ya later!"

4. Say they do want to get more RCs by purchasing Steem (teens have money?*sarc) they have to set themselves on an exchange and trade. Good luck.

Now you have pretty much lost the attention of most normal human beings. You start posting for the first time and you expect to 'earn' hahaha.

Basically way too many hurdles and expectations need to be reoriented.

Figure a way to break these hurdles down, which I do have some ideas about, then the flood gates open with good marketing.
