RE: Does steemit need a referral reward system? Recruit a Friend to steemit - CONTEST PROPOSAL?
The referral reward is getting people who you get over to STEEMit to upvote your posts.
Exploits would be from people who have large YouTube followers and bring them over. So, no need. They will get their payouts from all the upvotes from their followers.
Yes YouTubers bringing followers would be an issue. Although they might not bother with this sort of contest approach unless the prizes were very large. As you say, they particularly would get their rewards from the upvotes of followers.
Also, we already have 1,000s of bots. I'm sure it would be hard to determine real accounts from bot accounts.
Unless and until it is easier to get folks signed up I don't see the massive amount of folks coming in from yt, no matter who the channel is.
Agreed. Sign up is an area that needs a bit of streamlining for mass adoption.
Bots are a problem. I fear steemit will be overrun by bots soon...
But the requirement for verified introduceyourself posts would help on this.
Then cheetah would have a fun time upvoting the bot introduce yourself posts, because they'll share the content of probably the same 5 posts.
