I can't say I agree with this 100%.

Steemit has a little bit of a learning curve since most people are not familiar with blockchain technology, general cryptocurrency terminology, hashes (whatever the fuck those are, I see that word everywhere here), and stuff.

In addition, DTube and Steemit are linked, but they're two separate sites, which makes the learning curve probably even bigger for many internet users used to a one-package deal like YouTube.

Furthermore, some of Steemit's UI/UX is different from how the majority of other websites operate in many ways, such as having to "link" your profile picture from an external URL rather than just uploading one straight onto the website.

Lastly, the Steemit password appears like it must be computer-generated and then stored in a safe place, then copy & pasted every time, rather than just have one that you can remember off the top of your head. Steemit also has been logging me out every time I switch pages unless I select "keep me logged in".

Some of these things may obviously just be user error since I am brand new to Steemit, but I think it is a piece of anecdotal evidence in favor of the argument that Steemit may have trouble gaining the huge shift from other platforms just because of the learning curve and some clunky UI/UX elements.

I may be proven completely wrong though, we will see :)
