I agree that brand/name awareness can do a lot of good. And bring in new people.
But lets also focus on the so-called Sleepers. The ones who already know Steem.

Still, there's so much more that has to change and dealt with (to my opinion) that, even if we manage to bring in the masses. lots of those newbies will become Sleepers as well.

Just one example: Before the HF's the person who wrote a post, upvoted the comments he got on that post. What happened. Most don't do that anymore.
Why? Because, they save their VP for (the worse even) Automated voting within the perfect timeframe. No wonder that hardly anyone still comments (except for some)

Don't want to sound negative (you know my point of view by now I think) but there's still a lot of "personal benefits first"- mentality.

Indeed there is room for improvement and tbh I fall into this category too,(not upvoting the comments) but I do reward all the comments with tribe tokens.

I prefer to vote either some people automated and many more manually where my vote have better effect on their post rather than vote for a comment while consume 3x VP just to give 2 cents 

Maybe it sounds silly I don't know...the truth is that engagement is down because of that. But this is how the new HF work...imagine those who have little SP, they would vote each comment at 100% and still it would be dust

Everyone's  here for the vary same reason man, the only thing different is the approach..

_imagine those who have little SP, they would vote each comment at 100% and still it would be dust_

Exactly my point; Sleepers will wake up for a week or so, but after finding out that for them it has even become more difficult, they are gone just as fast as they came. 
And discouraged by lack of engagement, upvotes, being ignored and or neglected, most newbies will become Sleepers in no time as wel.
