RE: Why steemit.com is an ant colony or a bee hive, though it should not be. I am yet to see a post by an ant!
While many of your concerns are valid @cryptogee, I would just like to add that Steemit has not launched any massive advertising campaigns YET. It doesn't mean that they won't. In fact we have heard several clues over the past couple months that might lead us to believe they intend to do just that.
For starters, multiple people in the Steemit.inc team have mentioned that the site is not ready to handle "the masses" and the plan for the next several months is to get Steemit and Steem "scalable". If the site is not ready, why on earth would they spend money on advertising now? That is throwing away resources.
Lets reserve full judgement until we see some of the site features that are meant to make it scalable. At that point lets see if and what kind of marketing there is...
Thanks for some good talking points @fidelity, welcome! :)
if everyone complaining about steemit could read and accept your comments about scalability and steemit marketing, then they would realize all these complaints is a waste of time
Bingo! Perhaps a post needs to be done saying as much, or maybe a video post ;)
I prepare myself to stand corrected, I'll be surprised if I see any ad campaign. However, like I said; I'm prepared, (and rather hope) to be wrong.

I hope you are wrong too ;)
as for recent signs that there is underlying or behind-the-scene campaign to gradually create awareness to steemit is happening, is the recent small meetup that happened in philippines just days back. steem inc sponsored @hulkbuster to make it happen. it was a small event but it was fulfilling to see that it was sponsored. @cryptogee and @fidelity
