There is a never ending idea that somehow "normies" (typical paycheck-to-paycheck person) will somehow wake up and start accepting or using Monero. But, this is both unlikely and counter productive to more Monero adoption.
Ask the typical person, with either very little savings in a bank account, or fully invested in stocks and other trad-fi. Most often you will hear, in one way or another, they are not interested in crypto or Monero. They will complain about price stability, since they can't stomach losing money. Or, they will not know how to get it or where to use it despite these topics being covered endlessly.
Think of all the time spent educating these people and ask yourself if it's really worth it. What would make more sense is to listen to people who are already using Monero and make their experience better. If a person already understands how to use Monero, they are the perfect person to build something for.
In other words, build something for Monero users. Listen to them. Re-create services they already use with a focus on Monero. Leave reviews on existing businesses and services that accept Monero so that others feel confident in using those. This is a better use of time and brings more strength to Monero usage.
Ignore normies. Generally speaking, it is a waste of time to try to get someone who has no interest in Monero to use it. If someone honestly wishes to use Monero, then by all means help them, but this is very rare.
You only have so much time and energy, why spend it on people who will forget what you say? Instead, you could be helping other Monero users, testing software, building a business and countless other things that actually improve adoption for existing users.
Instead of trying to onboard businesses to install some plugin that they will complain about, just ignore them entirely. We live in an era where the cost of creating a business with AI is very low. It's a better use of time to just create Monero-first businesses and bypass the whole idea of convincing people about it.
