RE: [Discussion Post] What is the best way to recruit new users to STEEM?
1-Why do we need to attract users?
2-Why do we try attracting people with the lure of money?
1- If you join any site you are not expected to bring along new users the only time sites ask or people want to bring in people to a 'program' is pyramid schemes.
2- Why do people join other platforms eg. FB not for the money. For the experience. How many people do you think would say they have a positive experience on steem/hive.
Both are user unfriendly
Almost impossible to make money.
Hive has a dao for advertising and steem will have one will either be user for advertising? No.
Try putting in a proposal for either will you get it hell no.
So why bother?
Coz you care fine thats a nobel gesture so you deserve credit but its not our job and the ones whos job it is do not care in the slightest
I would say people join Facebook because their friends are on Facebook.
As for trying to get new users, the reason why I do it is because I think it increases the value of Steem in the long run. I get what you are saying, but I think it is in stakeholders' best interest to try to encourage new users, and I am a stakeholder (however small or large that stake may be). I wouldn't necessarily say it is any one person's job, but you are right that the community should do more to try to encourage new users.
Somewhat agree but we induce people with dreams of making money.
Currently steem has around 3k users max ex multiple acc etc.
If we bought in 3k more members(not investors) just people to blog and cash out there earning the price of steem would be half what it is now.
We need investors to constantly come in to buy tokens to keep the price stable.
With the current moves and situation not investor is coming in either of the 2 platform's.
So alternative is introduce advertising use the revenue from advertising to buy up steem from exchanges and null it.
Problem there is who is going to advertise to a inflated 3k userbase? Noone of substance.
So bullshit we have a million users as JS probably thought we had. Set up multiple acc and con some companies into advertising on the platform. That in turn will give us stablity in price and attract more users imo
