RE: Self-votes and Self-Service vs. Spreading the Love - Analyzing Vote Diversity in Steem
I agree with your arguments. Especially about reaching out to those who are already around for a while. I think the learning curve to get started is pretty steep. Steem is so much more than a traditional social network, and I can't even blame new users for not knowing how things work. I remember that it took me days or even weeks to understand even the basics and learning about new (but meanwhile much more sophisticated) aspects of Steem never stopped.
I hold out hope (perhaps against hope) that one day, that there won't be such a steep learning curve, that it will be more intuitive, that it won't require at least a partially decentralized and probably incomplete operation's manual that you have to first know exists, then locate, then piece together, then read, and then search around or inquire to fill in the blanks. Then understand. Then start over when it changes. :)
I agree, though, STEEM is so much more than anything out there. It is at least Social Media 3.0. That said, the interfaces need to live up to its potential, or at least move into the teens of the 21st century. Cutting edge, groundbreaking, built for the future would be better, though. Then, as a blogging/social media platform, it would be truly ahead of the game.
