Hi, @tarazkp
I especially like the diversity here, as you point out, artists, writers, developers and others. When trending can reflect this diversity I think we have achieved a milestone in our evolution and we become a more interesting place to advertise.

I also think @markkujantunen makes a valid point about connecting us to other blogs to bring blog readers here following links about interesting posts. Those links could also contain information about joining Steemit as a reader for free. We could onboard people this way, as readers to start, then active participants later. I think it’s only 5 Steempower to have a working account which is a little over a buck.

P.S.
I think there was a way to connect your Steem articles to your other social media accounts. But I have forgotten it. I think it included another blog site whose name escapes me for now....
