I'm all for onboarding. Here's the problem: No one has demonstrated that they can actually do it successfully. Not Steemit, not any of the projects claiming to onboard (some with large delegations which they usually monetize to their own benefit directly or indirectly). No one. The user base is stagnant to shrinking.
If someone demonstrates a method that can successful turn some reasonable budget in STEEM per new user into actual users who retain past early attrition then I will be the first one lining up to support such a project, and encouraging others to do so as well. I don't see it anywhere.
