My father-in-law (in his 70s) wants to write a book and publish it cheaply. I used the opportunity to explain Decent to him, however I realized that the platform might not be the easiest for him to learn and his audiences might not understand how to get hold of the material. I hope there will be an easy to use interface for older people like him and for normal John Doe on the street without the need to know how things work in the background. The interface must be easy to get hold of and use and shouldnt need to download the chain first. The interface should be an app that you download from the mobile store and you log into your account from the device and say upload file and will cost so much and press publish and done.
Like with everything, I don't think it's that difficult once a person decides that they want to go that path. I've known people in their late 60s who wanted to create a website, simply searched how to make one, followed the directions and created it. They had that want, motivation.
I think the bigger issue for average people has more to do with the whole concept of Decent content distribution and blockchain.
And yeah, the easier the better. But even if not, the simple want would not let new things get in the way.
