promo accounts can be 100% non-intrusive and opt-in, PLUS the brand gets the added benefit of being able to actually communicate directly (i assume mostly during contests) with old or potential new clientèle. It's a win-win for both sides, no one HAS to get ads on their screen but everyone CAN choose to go to the promo account, the flixxo way : opt-in advertising, i've been shouting this from rooftops for months but down here in down-below, you might as well live in dev/null since no one hears you scream anyway.
promo accounts is the way to go, anyone here who flaunts their supreme marketing and handshake-day skills should already be coldcalling every single brandname in the world and SELL them a steemit account and TELL THEM why they need one . Put their mouth where their salespitch is, that's all input for the reward pool while those people won't take much out. 1 investor > 1 million plankton

... as ive been saying

for months :D

ever since flixxo let me in on the beta and i saw their system i have

they had like coca cola and apple money before they had accounts so all those "build your network the right way people here" claiming to have those skills can prove that now :p

glad to see someone with clout, reach AND a dragon or two on the network to prove it sees it my way ... its definitely not too late

ad-money can save this thing and shoot it to where it should be and it does not have to be one bit intrusive

thanks @yabapmatt, my vote on you has definitely not been wasted so far
