I'm not arguing for simplicity, but ease of use. Like USD or a credit card, Steemit is actually a fairly easy to use, simply designed social media platform. That, many can understand. For them to get paid, well, even my wife gets that now, so anything's possible. Will they think it's a scam? Yep. Will any amount of explanation make a difference? Maybe, but probably not. Will USD in the bank which they got by putting out a helpful post? Yep. There are multiple approaches to bringing people in and multiple personality types to connect with. I am a developer, but I try to learn the marketing side of things also. Many different perspectives are needed, not just yelling at crypto kids. Heheh.
