However we look at it, promoting Steem is a tough sell in the current environment as everyone is driven by convenience and the far more clean and polished experiences the centralized platforms offer users.

Not only that, there's so many of them that I think most people really don't want to join yet another bloody socnet especially when they're all "ghost towns" (their friends/favourite celebrities aren't here therefore absolutely no one at all is here, the myriad of people on here don't count ;D).

No one really cares about the damage inflicted on others, until they come for them.

Pretty much.
