RE: Steemit isn't Facebook, Stop comparing it
Like it or not, FB's user friendliness hasn't transferred to steemit. It took me weeks to get my wife to come here with me and now she's about ready to quit and she is the one in our household who is usually good at social media. My wife is in marketing and uses social media often but .....after days of trying we still can't even upload a profile picture here, and yes, we have tried all the third party sights suggested, turned off ad blockers etc. I mean creating coins is difficult stuff, why are basic things on steemit so hard to do compared to FB. Like it or not, it is the standard.
No and this is also my point about it not being a facebook rival, it's completely different, people coming over thinking it's a facebook rival will end up going back to facebook
Understandable, however, for new users, who are excited about steemit, when you finally convince your friends and family to try it, this is what you're up against. In some cases, when trying to make the case for them investing or getting into crypto's, saying "hey, try using steemit and learn more about crypto's"comes back to bite you in the ass. I like steemit but I'm also getting very frustrated by it's incredibly steep learning curve. Most people want to use social media to relax. This sight is not relaxing.
No this site is work, time and effort. You don't get payed for doing nothing
