I have tried with people I know to get them on Steem... It's not easy to explain the whole concept. Plus people don't want to work at anything anymore.
My niece is a great poet but she was only here for a short time and didn't 'get' that you have to go out and meet people here to get the whole experience.
it's too easy to 'turn something on' and throw 5.00 at google play store so someone can stare at their phone some more instead of reading interesting posts about everything and anything.
I don't know how to fix it.....
I have told people on Planes and gave them my number and said call if you need help and they are all excited but, like one lady, her granddaughter talked her out of it.... you can not compete with a Granddaughter LOL they fix their phones and computers when things go wrong.
sorry rambling now...
