I mean I no longer understand what to say to people when they ask me what Steemit is and how it works. I don't understand the changes since the last hard fork and how it is going to benefit the platform. I don't understand the marketing at all and why we would even try to market it when we have such a retention problem.  I have stopped engaging in discussions about changes because my input seems to have no effect on what the next move or change on Steemit will be. So, I stopped trying to get people to join. 

Instead of getting frustrated, I just keep blogging and let go of the idea of promoting the platform. I don't feel right promoting something I can't explain or understand. I just know that Steemit is cool and I like to blog so I Steem on.

But when I read posts about changes the platform is making to simplify Steemit (KISS) that I don't understand or can't explain, it just makes me laugh because if I can't get my head around the changes my less technical friends are certainly going to get lost and lose interest in it. 

I'm not a developer and don't understand the logic of all these recent changes so I trust those that are know what they are doing, but there is nothing simpler about it. Until how Steemit works is so intuitive that we don't need to explain it, I don't see the point of reaching out to more users just to watch them bounce.
