Heck yeah, I agree users need to get hooked.

However, instead of telling my friends and family just about how you get paid, I tend to emphasize that its the community that is really awesome. You can engage with people on here, and there is little shit posting or trolling going on, and you can find communities of people who are likeminded from across the world and still encounter different view points too!

It is the social aspect that really is the golden part of Steemit in my eyes, and getting rewarded is added benifit and more motivation to produce quality! Of course, since quality posts get upvoted more, quality posts are rewarded and we want to post more quality! its a real great system. Steemit to the moon indeed!
