RE: Steemit has a new editor... I am happy about all improvements!
Therein lies one of the many problems with mass adoption. We need to keep in mind that most people and alas, most of the people we know have been dumbed down to the point where anything that doesn't function like Facebook is "too complicated." I have tried to get multiple friends involved and once I show them the various keys they don't want anything to do with it.
We get it, they don't... and really I can imagine that changing regardless of the interface until the masses learn that if something is too easy online, they are definitely collecting your data.
This is just so true! The interface is one thing, but I know that those keys are so confusing at the start, and they are making the barrier of joining way higher! And even more, people are afraid of storing their keys, because we are messed up people, and we are used to clicking the "forgot my password" option and everything is okay. Well, it's not like that on Steemit (nor on Hive), and that is actually a challenge for newcomers!
Guess lots of work needs to be done for this to be able to go mainstream and accepted by the normal man.
