 Starter content currently only makes an appearance if you open the
 customizer on a "fresh site" (typically a new install). It's easy for a
 user to have made other edits before heading into a customizer, which
 means they'll never see the starter content, and may be left wondering why
 the theme preview doesn't look anything like their site. On the other
 hand, if starter content does manage to apply, they might wonder why the
 customizer preview doesn't look anything like their live site. For the
 current limited application of starter content, we should consider some
 kind of prompt to try it out in the customizer before anything else, and
 show a message in the customizer that starter content has been applied and
 won't show up on your live site until you hit publish.

 More broadly we should make starter content usable in more contexts,
 opening a ticket for that shortly.
