Most people on Steemit still don't understand the difference between posting something here that gets 500 views (and that's a rockstar post) and posting on YouTube to 500,000 views. While it is about making money, it's also about building the audience and having more people see the content. You hit the nail on the head "we need to operate outside our bubble." Unfortunately, that one line tends to fall on deaf ears when you talking inside this bubble. :)
