RE: @steem-ua, Let's UNITE: My Open Letter to All Accounts
If Steem(it) was fun, and positive, and entertaining, and profitable, and energetic to everybody, then why on earth would anybody want to leave???
There are like three normals on this platform, hundreds of neckbeards, and thousands of Spaceologists. As one of the three, I will say it again: STEEM, STEEM POWER, STEEM DOLLARS, not to mention Posting, Active, Owner, and Memo “keys”...along with a password, or how about power up, power down, transfer, sell on market, witness, and shoot me in the head with a steem gun!!
I get it, I really do, but Steemit will never, ever, ever be widely adopted and unabandoned until/if it becomes viable for the morons using Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and other social media platforms that are actually social media platforms, but hey, I have been wrong before...but I am not...but I could be...not.
There is certainly a need for a front-end that manages keys and everything else that's "odd" about the platform. The problem is that a lot of us neckbeards would be (rightly) skeptical if a front-end came along to manage keys for grandma.
I think eSteem Surfer is the closest thing at the moment.

Well, as I thought about all the things I did not wright, that concern crossed my mind. Frankly I do not have an implantable idea that could make it happen. As such, I think it is more likely that Steemit and maybe Steem as a result will be a historical stepping stone. That is not to say it is not important. One cannot get to the other shore without a place to step, but without a) finding and keeping a much larger user base of neckbeards, or b) finding a new paradigm to work within while keeping the ethos of Steemit intact, I see no long term future, but people said the same thing about computers for your living room so...
The internet circa 1992, nuff said.
Exactly, and you can find more info at AOL Keyword ‘steem’.
You just made me laugh so hard my modem hung up.
Nope, it’s Partiko

Which currently requires an invite code.
That is unfortunate as it must be one hell of a solution and implemented with perfection. The app has over 100 reviews and every one is five stars!! I was particularly convinced by what 83397806pnQrBaB had to say. Waiting for my invite!
Typical 83397806pnQrBaB.
LMAO That is exactly the reply I was waiting for! Well done my friend, well done!
i was dissapointed that i cant upvote this
No invite code is required. It also doesn’t take a cut of the users rewards.

If grandma wanted to use Partiko, which is the use case we were talking about, she would need an invite code.
I get that you can use it if you already have a Steem account.
No it does not require an invite code.

Try using the Partiko app, then you’ll realize that monkeys can get hooked on it. Let’s talk after you try it out.

With the right amount of incentive these "dummies" could get it figured out I'm sure.

Facebook was once too advanced for the regular people. And we're talking F8 here, not the version we see today which is way more "complicated" than it's older version. Im not saying the Steem Blockchain doesnt need improvement in the UI. But I'm sure regular people would catch up soon enough. what with the promise of making a few cents doing things they are already doing on other Social Media.
At least that's what i believe.
Also, to cheer you up, take a look at #teammalaysia, we're based in Malaysia and i can assure that neckbeards and Spaceologist are few and far between here. 98% of our members are distinctly normies with a day job and watch Korean Drama at home. We're literally teaching aunties to use steemit so they can post about their lunch. Things will look good if it isnt already!
