Great to see the community growing nonetheless. I still feel personally that steemit isn't ready yet for the average user. I have encouraged my friends to join, who are already interested in the blockchain economy, none have yet joined. I will keep pushing them! For my not so technologically oriented buddies I am holding back for the platform to further develop.
What I am actively doing is promoting Dtube on youtube, so that my favourite youtubers would join steemit and start posting their videos on Dtube as well.
