Steemit is just starting, there are not enough users yet to create the diversity to drive its success. I think it's important that we keep spreading the word. We are used to instant gratification.
Instant gratification usually ends up costing us a lot on other services. Keep spreading the word and the diversity will come, along with advances to the user interface. We have a place that will give us instant gratification but without sacrificing our personal information and having it sold for someone else's gain.
I think Steemit is approaching a cross-over point. Currently it is driven by the technical minds and followers that conceived it and supported it to this point. The masses with wider interests and contributions are still to come. It's still a little early for some as the site is not yet at a point where the user interface is completely intuitive as are Facebook and Reddit for example. At the crossover point the interface and the growing user base will all merge into one exciting service that will cater to all tastes and topics.
Patience is the key, keep coming back as the nectar will always be sweeter as time passes.
