Making Steemit more accessible/mainstream?
What is being done to make this platform more accessible to a general audience? I mean, this platform truly is revolutionary in what it does - and for that reason I believe that steemit (or something like it) is going to be the future of social media. I think this model of streamlining content creators data truly brings "ownership" of ones data to the person that created it.
I've had a steemit account for probably about a year now (so I'm probably still a newbie to many on here). In that year, I haven't really used the platform much, but I have recently come back to it for another shot. One thing I want to point out - is that in that year, I haven't really seen this platform change much (and by change I mean that I haven't really seen any improvements).
This is a great start, but I feel like there are simple things that could be done to improve it. For one, it seems that general content is in sort of disarray at the current point in time. Not to completely copy reddit - but I feel like this community would be benefited by creating "subcommunities" of some sort that would give a sort of rhyme and reason to the how things are posted.
How about adding a dedicated video or image sharing platform to the website? This would complete the "trifecta" if you will of social media.
I don't know if the owners of this platform advertise at all. The main user base currently is obviously going to be people in the crypto world. But I feel like if this platform had a minimal amount of advertisement in the mainstream that people would be jumping all over it (though they might think it was a "too good to be true" type of thing).
This is just my 2 cents from a nobody on here. I think this website is great - and if there were things done to give it more of a mainstream appeal I don't see what would be stopping it from being as big as any of the main social media platforms out there right now.
while there are likely people out there that can explain this better I think that dLive and dTube are part of steemit and while i have not used dLive i know that dTube focuses on video.
I like the idea of communities and I do feel that some changes will be necessary if this is going to be an actual community... what I am trying to say is that I agree with you. the Partiko app helps with that, as it has chat and "friends" so to speak but you can only use those features if the other people have them installed.

I would put that on your phone if i were you. If more people adopted #partiko , i think that would be a step in the right direction.
