Well, most people hearing crypto think about monkey jpegs, meme coins and all the other bullshit, so you can't really judge them for blocking (from their perspective) yet another crypto-bullshit site. We can't expect most people to do a research about every single "elonmuskcumrocketdogecoin" they encounter, but this is basically what they would need to do to understand how/why monero is different. The only way to change that is time (a very long time, maybe even decades) which works in favour of monero - all shitcoins eventually go to near-zero, BTC will be more and more seen as a purely speculative asset, BCH and other real cryptocurrencies (where real crypto = at least having a goal of being a digital cash and not the goal of being a proof-of-money-spent-on-monkey-jpegs) will probably stay, but people will always need private solutions too. In the meantime we should of course continue to improve monero both on the technical side and on the adoption side :)
