Thank you for the awesome comment :D
I agree that we need to keep that superior user experience but at the same time, we shouldn't forget that people will not reach steemit by themselves. In some way, the information about this platform has to get to them.
Many of the people, same thing on Facebook, are just consuming content. Some of them participate lightly like you said and some will become active content creators like us. I think that if we treat steemit as a social media and not just a blog list, It could actually bring more activity to the site.

Btw by saying "superior user experience" you reminded me about another thing I wanted to add to the post, the visuals of the site. The site is looking like a list and not appealing in my opinion. The first thing that a person who is entering the site should say is "WOW" and the second thing is "Ohh it's really easy to navigate". But the post is too long anyway :P

Thank you for the comment and support again!
