RE: Would Steem benefit from a Bitconnect style referral program?
MLM is cancerous and annoying. I wouldn't want Steemit associated with it. I think there are much better ways to promote the platform to new users.
I think one of the biggest things slowing down new user adoption is the registration process. I have heard a lot of complaints of people waiting weeks for their account to get verified.
Do it. If there are better ways why is Bitconnect absorbing all the money in crypto space using MLM techniques? The MLM techniques are the most effective for marketing crypto based on the results we see, even if it's being applied to a possible scam. If Bitconnect is a scam how would that invalidate the marketing techniques?
Amen @cryptoindex. We are already seeing a whole influx of spammers and low quality shit posters (mostly from South Asia where I'm currently located in and has 1/4 of world's population.)
What got me into steemit is the quality. First I was only a reader and about a month ago I started posting because I felt like contributing. The best way IMHO to promote steemit is not to bring creators/users but readers. That's how I sold steemit to some of my friends. They were all productive people with better stuff to do than social media activities. They would have never have put their time to build a following and make a few bucks. I mean I write long posts and still only get few cents most of the time. They got in because they loved the content they consumed. They loved the intelligent comments.
That should be how we promote ourselves. Plus MLM is too much associated with ponzi projects.
