Why isn't there a plan for ROI (Return on Investment)? Most companies show their expected revenue from certain products they outline on their roadmap. Something plausible, like ad revenue.
Got it. No ads.
Official answer: We need more eyeballs.
This is fine, but it's not a direct path to any kind of ROI. I can see how greater attention to the platform will boost the value of STEEM. But that's indirect. That's speculation, not an ROI.
If I give you $1,000, what's the exact mechanism you'll use to give me back $1,001?
There is no strategy for this apart from pure speculation. The advantage of not defining a clear ROI is that no promises are being made or implied.
Steemit, Inc. apparently believes it is. It's a young platform. Other platforms, without a blockchain, have offered even less for investors, yet many of them were successful.
Although, that last point might require heavy use of confirmation bias.
