At the same time, a lot of new technology is more successful if it targets a small audience at first before trying to scale. It's better to be great to a few people than mediocre to everyone. Steemit is designed like reddit, but that doesn't mean we'll necessarily have the same communities reddit does - rather, it makes a lot more sense to foster online communities that other sites are neglecting. (And yes, instead of adding more people in an individual sense, perhaps we ought to think about adding more communities.)
