It's the old Catch-22...

...If people start using Steemit, there need to be other people using Steemit for it to grow. If not, it dwindles into insignificance.

So how do we get this thing really going? Is there even a way to measure its growth compared to other forms of social media?

The growth in value of Steem and SBD seems to indicate a spike in interest, but is this just speculative growth? Is there any correlation to higher utility of the Steemit platform?

While my friends and family are checking out the latest ads and fake news on Facebook, I've turned to Steemit for a more productive, positive, and authentic use of my free time. I've set up my daughter with a Steemit account, and I post Steemit articles to Reddit and Twitter.

What more can I do to promote this platform? It is such a shame more people don't know about it!
