I love techlead and it would be cool to see him on Steem, but I feel like currently we don't have much to offer someone who is doing well on Youtube and already has a large following. When other big youtubers have come here, they initially get some support, then it dies off as people get back into their normal routines of figuring out ways to earn themselves more.

I've written about my proposed solution to this problem at length [here](https://steemit.com/steem/@midlet/this-is-how-we-save-steem), but here's some bullet points.

Steem has really great "features" to empower content creators, but a terrible user experience design for it. I'm currently in the process of finishing up a post talking more about that.

Donations, upvotes, delegation and beneficiaries are all the ways one user can support another, but the only one impressed upon users is upvotes, and upvotes have a huge barrier to entry to actually be able to offer any support for the vast majority of users.

I feel like Steemit was designed more as a tech demo, vs a user centered, solution for a particular demographic. The following frontends largely followed suit with little upgrades here and there, but nothing focused around the user, the users goals, the users tasks, and how to make these frictionless and pleasant user experiences. THIS is the main issue with Steem. All the developers want to throw more apps at the problem, throw more tech at the problem, but that's not what's needed most. What's needed most is an analysis of what a typical user on Steem is looking for, and what they're going to be trying to do, and what they're going to be expecting. We need to deliver that to them so that they come away feeling like, that was fun/easy/powerful/exciting/etc. Instead of our current UX which 100% of the time leaves users feeling like that was too hard/frustrating/disconnected/boring/pointless.
