i myself had none before I came here and I have recruited some as well who didn't have experience with it but still it has been very challenging, despite the success thus far. You are mentioning how it hasn't been MASS ADOPTED well I think that is one of the reasons. 

Also, If the main goal is getting new users to come to the site, wouldn't marketing steemit be the best way to get them here? 

And who should be responsible for marketing? ... 

I see a lot of new users who come on here and who don't want to put in any effort to produce quality content but then they want to complain about unfair rewards. I don't think that Catering to their cries is in the best interest of steemit.

> You are mentioning how it hasn't been MASS ADOPTED well I think that is one of the reasons.

Agreed. There are quite a few reasons.

> If the main goal is getting new users to come to the site, wouldn't marketing steemit be the best way to get them here?

Yes. I don't know if we are ready for that type of mass recruitment yet though. There are still some underlying issues with the platform that are affecting retention. If we don't resolve those, then recruiting new users will not do much good.

> And who should be responsible for marketing?

I think the community itself will be able to handle the lion-share of marketing through word of mouth.

> I see a lot of new users who come on here and who don't want to put in any effort to produce quality content but then they want to complain about unfair rewards. I don't think that Catering to their cries doesn't seem like it's something in the best interest of steemit.

I agree 100%. I don't want to cater to those people either.
