If a kid wants to make money on Steemit, I'd recommend that they have a lemonade stand every weekend and use the proceeds to buy Steem. It would be a lot more profitable per hour of their time than going through the trouble of putting up a post.
Why isn't Diamond and Silk on Steemit? Because this isn't just a copy and paste, post a meme and share family pics platform....you have to be good or at least somewhat intelligent enough to produce content, which Diamond and Silk more than likely can but their followers can't. This is why I think most people coming from sites where they had substantial subscribers are not being followed on this site.
I consider the barrier you cite to be a problem for Steemit. Social media isn't only for sages and professional authors, and if Steemit is limited to such an audience, other platforms will absorb the vast market ordinary people comprise.
Ordinary people can thrive on Steemit, if not become famous or wealthy from it. This is why I reckon differentiating venues for commercial and personal use is important and something Steemit should undertake.
Everyone needs a platform to share their voice, even if their voice is drawn from the common cloth we all share, rather than rich textures and forms limited to artists and inventors.
Perhaps what we are missing is a refuge from bots, slick commercial promotion, and competition for phat ducats. Excluding folks that want to keep in touch with friends, rather than rival Tolstoy will keep Steemit from including them, and I think this is neither necessary nor beneficial.

LOL where's the product??? it's free no ads no profit. I made it as a project it works well so released it to the community! I'll be continuing to make more and give to the community as I please, thanks for your critique LMAO!!!!!!! On a serious note as you are an experienced user of steemit which l assume you are with 7016 posts maybe a polite reply of better etiquette on posting for the inexperienced and newbies would have more value as everyone starts at the bottom even you!
What I did do was consider how you promoted your product by linking it in a reply to my post.
While you may feel it's appropriate to do so, I expect you to recognize my own ability to disagree. I didn't vote on your comment as I suppose you may have read at least a part of my post, although you only used my post as an advertising venue.
I have no interest in Goolag, or addons to it's products, so it's not something I'm interested in. Your mileage clearly varies, and that's fine. It's just not my purpose to provide a venue for advertising your product, so I politely asked that you not do it here again.
Do you think I was somehow out of line or imposing on you thereby?

It was sure more profitable for my kids to have a lemonade stand!

I just post a comment in their youtube videos welcoming them to censorship free steemit.
What is it we are missing on steemit, for it not be growing much faster....bots?
flags? website design....(user slick?)

Down voting on Steemit is not censorship. Facebook messing around with your data on their site is not censorship. End of.
Is it not just so coincidental that a troop of baboons is called a congress too?
It's just such a shame that Babboons have to endure such insult!
I completely agree with you on that one!

Thanks for providing a perfect example of why commercial media and personal communications need separate venues and rewards mechanisms.
Don't turn my post into an ad for your product please.
