First of all, a big thanks to you @lordjames for the wonderful post!

Well, the idea of BLOG. VOTE. EARN is actually doing more harm than good to the ecosystem. I and many others were invited to steemit on this Slogan.

Unfortunately, only 2% of us are actually active now. The remaining 98% left because they either can't blog or earn.

My Proposed Approach:

Why don't we focus on community engagement and long-term economic value of the platform as a mantra when preaching steemit.

The resulting effects of these proposed act is that it'll redesigned the mentality of self entitlement and equally inculcate a long lasting relationship building on steemit.

That is, people will be more interesting in creating and following a niche that interests them while having a mindset of contributing 100% to build a long-term relationship and economic benefits.

I believe that meaningful promotional campaign messages can be culled out on the above stated guides. Well how about; CREATE. BUILD. GROW?

This is my input and thank you for reading through it.
