I am guessing you mean "is able"  - but yeah, the signup could be better. However, it also has to be somewhat secure and the entire cryptosphere has to do better in this regard. 

Not sure about the boys club, but there are users that could spend their energy better perhaps. 

>edit: Also, 90% of world internet users don't care about centralized vs decentralized fight. As long as they are getting value (not only monetary value), no one cares what is under the hood.

Sure, but look that the state of the internet and the damage "not caring" is doing to the world.

I fully agree with you, and the whole idea of decentralized systems is "black swan" that was needed to make things better.

But my point is that, the majority of the people don't care about how something works, or if something is decentralized or not...

It just doesn't have any impact on what they perceive as value.

So, what is under the hood doesn't matter to the majority of people. 

What matters is what value they are direct receiving.

People will never leave facebook, twitter, reddit, if they have to go through a lot of hassle to learn about blockchains, decentralizations, witness, and all the major concepts that attracted most of us.

What is needed to attract them is to have something that work as smooth (or better) that what already exists.

And, after some time using a platform they enjoy, everyone will eventually learn why a decentralized system is better.

We must attract them before shoving new knowledge down their throats.

> Not sure about the boys club, but there are users that could spend their energy better perhaps.

What i am saying here is about a culture change.

Big stake holders are so worried about "protecting their stake/rewards" that end up seeing every new user that do something "bad" (plagiarism, copypaste, self-votes) or even different, as a threat and act aggressively toward them, instead of new addition to the community. (there is a lot of hipocrisy here, but let's no dive into that...)

So, yeah... a lot of new users come in, try to earn something, then is kicked out because some big stake holders didn't agreed with whatever he was trying to do/say.

While I agree - the perception of what is under the hood matters to a lot of people I think. People buy cars and phones based on features they will never use or take advantage of, for example. 

>We must attract them before shoving new knowledge down their throats.

This is through the applications. They don't even need to know they are on Hive to begin with and I m hoping that at some point in the not too distant future, "Powered by Hive" will be the reference people know.  

I don't think many large stakeholders care about the day to day users, which is a bit of a problem in some ways, maybe a good thing in others.
