RE: Figuring out Social Media for SteemSTEM to Reach Out to the World
I'm not a core member, but I am highly motivated. I do agree with @lemouth that revenue is not an incentive. And I agree with @mobbs that the sign-up system is crazy. I mean, anything else I want (and don't want) to join is just a couple of clicks. I've actually discovered that I signed up for sites when I just wanted to visit. So yeah, that barrier to engagement has to go, if we want to engage.
Personally, I use Twitter. I don't think people are as averse to blogging, mini-blogging, as you suggest @mobbs. People love to give their opinions. They have responded enthusiastically to the expanded Twitter character allowance.
So--to sum up: don't talk crypto, shoot for engagement. And for heavens sake, open the doors so people can get in.
Just my two cents...not worth much than that. But I try :)
Yeah it's been truly frustrating to me that, of all the technology and programming prowess in the world, 'signing up' has somehow mysteriously evaded all success. It's bizarre.
Glad we're on the same page, I hope the sentiment applies to everyone. The HF might be a good thing, I'm not sure, but tot me it's pretty irrelevant if people can't even get on board anyway. And even if they can, there's still no simple way to actually make the money 'real' for 99.999% of people, so its high time we focus on other elements of values!
Cheers for dropping by again =)

I actually have ideas to improve the sign-up system... So many ideas and not so much time... :/
