@cicbar You hit upon a huge point.

And one that is not the fault of the developers or Steemit. They are not the ones out there promoting the idea. In fact, they get hammered for not promoting at all.

The problem lies with all the Steemians on facebook and youtube doing the marketing of saying come to STEEM and make $15K in a day.

Those are the ones who are causing the harm on that end of things.
