That's pretty much it as imho, it's the classic "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink the water" so no matter how you promote something, there will always be folks who either don't see it, don't want to see it or couldn't be bothered with seeing it and that afaic, is sad because
(bolding mine) it is when something affects someone directly and that "something" gets implemented, that you hear about it from the someone but if they fall into "the didn't see it, didn't want to see it or couldn't be bothered to see it" category, there's really not much more one can do
