Totally agree. I think one of the nuances is that the term "social media" applies, largely, to already existing websites, therefore deemed most credible, or the winners and therefore why do we need another? Most people know what Facebook is whether they use it or not. Most people are slammed in the face with how much they hear the word "tweet". We have in the USA a President-Elect that has tweeted to death so much that Twitter is now a platform that you use to vote for your favorite dancer on network TV and who you are voting for as President. Unfortunately you seldom are allowed to participate in an online comment section without being also a user/member of one of three/four of these websites. STEEMIT is different, inherently, as it is linked to a blockchain, encrypted and functions not only as a means to post comments or vote but also as a way to transfer funds and earn money for your intellectual properties, that is, your posts. I think long term those who value privacy will come to this platform, however I enter a caveat; most Americans don't truly see what their privacy being violated by the government means and so they willingly give it up with a "I have nothing to hide" mindset. Perhaps we need to explain better why encryption and decentralization is so important in the modern day where privacy has vanished, online personas define us and a Federal Reserve banking system makes money from nothing. But I just wanted to say that we need to keep going with this. We are the only ones who can keep STEEMIT alive and therefore if we respect the work that we put our time into than we bear the burden of getting over the humps that will inevitably come. One last point. I think what makes STEEMIT great is also what makes it weak at times. Cryptocurrency miners jumped in for the free coins, dumped them and thus, devaluation. For those people typing in a long key wasn't a big deal to get $5-$7. My Mom will never type in an encryption key. Most people won't because they don't even know what it is or why it is. So we have to perhaps help out IRL. Help them by typing it in for them at Christmas and saving it in their iPhone browser/app. It is a small but enormous barrier. That's all I got right now. STEEMON!
