Creatives often want, above all else, to have their art seen and appreciated. I think there's a stigma about the fediverse that says you won't have that here. That a person's reach is extremely limited in the fediverse. I don't know if that's actually true or not, but until that perception changes, it's going to be hard to attract major creative types. (Of any kind: artists, journalists, musicians, etc.)
It's a bit of a chicken and egg problem.
