Well, I can tell you from my personal experience, since I did it all: declining rewards, delegating to other red fish to grow, not upvoting my own posts and donating the liquid rewards to other users (and now leaving an established blog with some autovotes). It doesn’t actually help grow the platform. At least not with our SP.

When it comes to bringing new users to Steem. Well, sometimes what you can do is discover someone who is prominent outside of Steem, who has just started it and help them out in the beginning to understand how things work.

Even so, Steem might become a birthplace of best selling creators some day. It’s just doesn’t happen in a year or two.

Sometimes the best thing you can do, is stay around and interact and contribute by interacting :)

Words from the wise 😊

You tried everything huh. I was thinking less about growth and more about slowing down token collapse, but I guess it's just semantics in the end.

Steem might become a birthplace of best selling creators some day.

Well that would be fantastic, music to 'Nonames' ears I think.

I'll be here contributing and interacting, and figuring out my next failed plan 😁

Edit: I forgot your rose

Not sure actually, we might be able to overrun them considering most don't bother creating "content" anymore and votetrading but instead have settled for selling votes. Not sure why the rest aren't doing that too, those votetrading with a purchased delegation and barely having any skin in the game I can understand, though.

New slack channel #overrun required?

Could even present a case to the biggest silent actor on the very very small chance of a response.

I think there's more 'content' than we think, the accounts sending out secure memos to exchanges look suspicious for one.
