The problem is, I believe, that the momentum to tip just doesn't seem to come for STEEM. Content creators are being censored and deplatformed and it's projects like Minds and Gab that I keep on hearing about as a solution.
Can we have someone promoting STEEM on Joe Rogan or another comparable show explaining where STEEM fits in as a solution?
Personally I feel like this is a very limited scope of what the Steem platform can actually do, but I think everyone can agree that we could use better marketing.
I certainly agree.
But given the zeitgeist is what it is, I'd say STEEM should have a voice in this debate.
I did like this message coming from @andrarchy. Let's have him have a talk with Rogan.
We can market the other features too, of course.
There is basically NO marketing to speak of ... as Wolf observed, among the reasons for the initial Steem pump in 2016 was the hype. In a competitive world you need to generate hype at a similar or higher level than other projects - that's the job of a marketing Dept. And this is not done competently enough on Steem

Steem is still censorship resistant, however, the frontends are another topic. Minds and gab are also "just" websites and I honestly don't believe they will stay censorship-resistant forever. There usually always comes a time, where you have to take a stance (either based on ethics or laws), which in the eyes of the outside looks like censorship.
Exactly. Minds and Gab are centralized. When push comes to shove, they will easily be forced to censor. However, with MIRA making Steem nodes cheap to run, there is no way whatsoever for any authority to do anything about content on Steem.
