It's a good news! Me and my hubby share our posts on the social media that we use every day (twitter, facebook, etc..), I hope that help to encourage people to know Steemit .
As @uwelang and @merej99 , I think it's really important to study solutions against a massive spammers. I'm relatively newbie here, but I have years of experience as a blogger (in Italian language, of course ^_^) and I know that there are more people that can write good contents, but when the contents may generate incomes there are even more people that "watch" only the money and they don't understand that a good content (and reputation) are the best "investment" then they do it. The learning curve and steemcleaners are good solutions, but it's enough? For now, as I do in other platforms, my "strategy" is don't follow/don't upvoted the spammers and encourage the newbie with comments ;)
