Just had a thought(not original), what about setting up a referral system and also showing your referral count publicly and then some small reward for reaching certain milestones in your referral system. that may encourage people to take the initiative to actively assist other to get onboard?

Granted this is not new and certainly not an original thought, but i think it definitely encourages people to get more involved and will grow the platform through incentives? Why is @steemit not doing this? it should have been part of the recent changes.
