Hmm. This doesnt make any sense bro. Most of the users on STEEM I would say are professional content publishers of some type (bloggers, youtubers, authors, photographers, videographers, comedians, etc). Are you saying that they produce content for the love of it...and are not interested in getting paid. The whole point of STEEM is to reward folks for producing original content, and introducing others to the opportunity. Why would you not then have a mechanism to track referrals?
