What happens if you start a new "newcomer's" community for a certain group of people and dump this one? We can pretend we all are the same but we are not. Different interests, different way of thinking, we are not raised in the same way and I noticed that IQ and education does play a role.
Most of the newcomers are introduced by family or a group and no matter how long they are on Steemit they always mention the same 3 names. They don't like to integrate and be part of something bigger. It's like you noticed it's the upvote and nothing else. I notice the same if it comes to the curators. They mainly stay in their own circle (time for me to start my circle there are about 6 I know they are Dutch and I can add 2 or 3 people from Belgium to my list.).

Personally, I think that the idea of the Newcomers' Community should be dumped entirely. If people want to read an Introduction post, they'll find it.
Similar to alexanderkass, I wrote an introduction and waited for a response. Hours passed and I thought "What's taking so long?" "Why hasn't anybody said hi?" But when 1 out of 100 Introductions should stand out, it doesn't. It is lost because of the hundreds of pointless entries before them. I understand that now. But there will definitely be hundreds of bloggers who have poured their heart into something (more than once), had no engagement and thought "nah. This isn't for me".
I've sometimes thought "Perhaps all of us who are different should find our own corner and be together" but then even us different folk seek different things - even if we have the same mindset.
And that's where my sadness lies (in response to your other comment) - there are perhaps enough like-minded people but not enough with like-minded interests for feel a sense of belonging. At the moment.
