Without getting into my history about falling in one of these black holes of signups I offer a easy fix. It looks like there is zero marketing to enroll new members and slightly better in the support department why don't we use the MLM profile. Instead of having an open enrollment use member based. the only way to get on Steemit is sponsorship . YES it is complicated to first understand but not hard to overcome with little support. Heck if you take closer look that is whats going on now anyways. . A friend or family member is the ones who tells someone about Steemit and that person becomes go to guy or gal for support.
