First of all, welcome to steemit and you got a new follower.
Second, you are right and the key to everything. For those that want to learn about crypto, Steemit is a mandatory platform. I've learned a ton being on Steemit. For those that are not interested in crypto, then the reward is just monetary based and not community and knowledge based. For them, they can't see the long term benefits.
I appreciate the great reply and good luck!
