ok, here is a thought experiment for you; imagine you are a billion dollar company and your company was about social media. you were trying to attract people from all walks of life, all over the world, to be welcoming, to try to build something from the ground up, something that was accessible and familiar and interesting to all to be a new form of exchange, of reward, to totally transform society. now imagine that to join this enterprise it took 2+ weeks, and maybe, if you were lucky and there weren't the usual screw-ups, you could actually join this entity and then probably be ignored or overlooked anyways.
open your eyes, this is not a dream or a thought experiment, STEEM and Steemit was a $1 billion entity that made it nigh impossible and STILL makes it nigh impossible to join, so bad that even people are offering services CHARGING to become a part of our supposedly revolutionary community.
no wonder there are only a few hundred people circulating here
peace @clumsysilverdad
