Good point although the difference between FB and here is that everyone who is on here has a financial interest in STEEM...on FB, most who are on there posting are not stock holders.

It's not easy for a normie to adopt an ownership mentality. Sheep are rarely great leaders.
That is true...although most on here do get the financial component...in fact that is what attracts most in at this point...hell it is what people are on FB and YouTube touting....so that is what people are going to think (I think we should cool the money aspect in the marketing and stress other aspects).
But you are right, the masses are followers....most will arrive here when it is fashionable to do so.
They will arrive here when they see that those who they follow on twitter, fb and youtube are moving to some strange and ugly platform. And where they have some strange and big numbers with dollar sign under their posts.
Yes you are correct @taskmaster4450. Everyone on SteemIt is interested because of the Rewards that they get for every content they post here. I think some of us or most of use still use Facebook. Well I use both. I have specific reasons why I still use Facebook.
I gree to this, but even on Facebook, majority of the followers are just in bandwagon. As in, some of them if this opportunity of steemit is introduced to them, they would be glad since some are struggling financially and are using facebook for passing time.
Another point is on data usage. For the case of 3rd world countries like Uganda, most yourth subsribe for social bundles being cheaper and there is alot of idleness on the as what is shared may not necessarily be beneficial to others.
