RE: Onboarding and Marketing Should Be Migrated to the Apps
Pretty much bang on..
I mean, lets say I join to share recipes, and that's all I want to do, and some crypto-warrior comes along and flag all my posts because they think that's just too many pics of lunches and food to be acceptable for something that is ever important to the state of freedom for all as the blockchain...
I can see tokens working, like in actifit, where you get them and could possible ignore the steem portion if you can use them on a estore within the app or other apps related..
Onboarding, and account set-up, could be handled by those apps as well.
It's going to be a weird adjustment to convince the masses that are used to getting everything for free/instantaneously to realize things take time, but maybe that's a good thing.. Might kick them back out to a mentality where there are laws of physics, and time is integral to existence. And effort ensures survival.
Yep. We got started with Steemit.com as the front door, but it no longer makes sense. I don't think the change will happen quickly though. It takes time for a group of decentralized people to coordinate.
The slow pace kills me.
I got onboarded by the @welcomewagon people..
This was the MO back in my burningman days.. have the people pass along the culture..
But it would be nice to have an app, tool, series of vids, or something that grooves you in to using everything.
As you mention, otherwise it's too slow.. and then it takes off and you get people coming in not knowing anything ...
