RE: The Lack of Easy Onboarding Hurts Our Opportunities At Adoption...
Great post @jongolson You are truly poking the right question. I couldn’t agree more with what you said.
People are focussing all the changes to try and change the rules and mentalities for the users already in here. But never hear the ones that leave steem or struggle to get in. This is without a doubt one of the biggest problems here not only keep people active and interested but also recommend this to others (that can understand and pass throw the sign in process).
The excuse of 'this is not like Facebook' is always the same and we all understand that since it has the blockchain and payments on it. To be sincere no one wants steemit to become Facebook. We should all want a better thing and in order to do that the platform must become even simpler than Facebook itself. To archive that we should at least try to think and even gather ideas on how should it be possible to implement and improve such a thing... To be honest on the short time I have been here I never saw a discuss like that or even worst... the care to do such so. So this is still the perfect playground for the ones already in here that gain with it. Without shaking those pillars... Steemit will always be the complicated place to be around or even try to enter.

Thanks so much for the comments...And so true. This isn't supposed to be Facebook, and I dont think anyone wants it to become...But I do appreciate their ease of use and ability to just...Get people using their site.
Indeed take always the best from other apps or competitors and leave out the shady and bad things and you have a success in your hands.
I think with some time and more polish steemit can get there. They have to stay focus improving and making the UI better but even more important listen to the audience.
The people here on steemit are not the same on Facebook. So I am 100% with you the interface needs work to be easy to use but they can’t forget their target audience and there unique needs.
