Don't feel bad, I've stopped trying to understand it. I post on steemit for the simple reason that it seems to be free speech. It's also has a much better user interface than gab does (gab's interface is horrible).
What we need is somebody who fully understands Steem, and is able to not talk like a computer programmer, to explain it to us.
Is it possible for somebody to make a 5-minute video that explains blockchain, Steem, and steemit in layman's terms without computer jargon that only programmers understand?
