Long ago, I came across a website - many times in fact. Whenever I posted a question into Google like "How to correctly cut my toe nails" or "Why is Hillary Clinton so repulsive" my search results would almost always reveal a link to the website I'm speaking of. What website was it you ask? - Reddit.
The thing with Steemit, is it has the potential to be bigger, better and much more rewarding than Reddit.
However, I feel it will only ever reach or surpass Reddit if more of Steemit's users start ditching the Crypto Currency talk a little and spend more time telling people how they dealt with recent constipation or sharing details of that horrific time back in 2008 when they heard their parents having sexy time! :P
My point is this - Steemit is here to stay and it will grow regardless - but if it stays on it's current route of 80% Crypto talk, 20% regurgitated news stories then it will never reach Reddit's outreach.
What I suggest to anyone reading this is to do 3 things right now!
- Like (Upvote) this post
- Comment saying "I'M IN"
- Post a story on Steemit - Something real, personal. It can be a painful memory or a funny one. Anything REAL!
Thanks for reading <3
Nah, I don't think you can make a change this way. Crypto is deeply embedded into the philosophy of Steem. It naturally attracts "cryptonauts" because outsiders misinterpret the way the site works quite easily.

Then it will never become what it can become. It's really that simple. Steemit could be absolutely massive when it fully launches, but not if it's almost 90% bombarded by cryptocurrency posts

Sadly it's not something you can easily change.

Then you clearly don't know how SEO, algorithms and marketing works. You get even as little as 100 different subjects on Steemit of articles that have comments and interactions then it will be seen by completely new people across the planet when they Google search for anything similar.
This is why most of Reddit's millions of visitors are not actually heading to Reddit when they come across the website.

Yes I do. I just don't want to be over-obsessed with it.
Steemit has an Alexa Page Rank moving between 2000 and 2200 for a while now. That's a steady achievement if you ask me, and networking effect works anyway.
Also, there are topics where it's harder to break into, e.g. some people may not like seeing "new" filled with so many posts from Indonesia and India.
