RE: Promoting Steemit -- Results from one week of ads
In addition to this, would it not be equally possible to offer a reward incentive, much as is already in place for upvoting or commenting, for hitting the share feature? Or am I late to the party and this has already been done and dusted?
I really hope so. It doesn't even have to be done at a protocol level, they have the referral data already. I guess they're worried about encouraging phony sign ups? Or maybe they think we're growing fast enough already..
@fubar-bdhr great results!
I'm not sure. I haven't been around since launch so maybe there's some reason they don't implement referral rewards, but I really don't think it would be too difficult to build-in, though.
As far as I know there has never been any reward for referrals. Wasn't even sure referral links actually worked until last week when those stats came out.
I just posted it as a suggestion over on Steemit.chat on the General and #Steemit-suggestions channels.
Otherwise, I have no idea of how to get the ears of the shakers and movers. Maybe someone will pick the idea up :)
I had just assumed that was the whole point of the referral code, they must have thought of it but put it on the backburner for some reason.
