Hi @techslut, I left this comment on a similar post by @uewlang, hope it helps show my opinion!

Thanks for sharing this @uwelang. Personally, I think that Facebook actually did this to benefit their users. I was at a conference the other day, and was told that there are on average 5 new ICOs every single day.
Many of the ones that I have seen advertised on Facebook would be considered spammy, and a small portion that I have seen have been blatant scams.
I read the guidelines, and facebook is banning advertising with a call to action that directly promotes investing to users - something that I am not entirely against.
Now, I know that this could have a terrible effect on the promotion of STEEM as a currency, but we can still advertise Steemit as a platform, if we are smart about our advertising it will not affect us. I work full time in ICO Consulting, onine course creations and now blogging, so I would be more than happy to help create advertising campaigns for Steemit that are compliant with these new rules, but also help get new users in to the platform. If you or anyone else is interested in doing a Steemit fundraiser for advertising campaign funds, let me know and we can get something together to further promote Steemit.
I am currently working on a blog series with a focus on new users to the platform - showing them how I made around $1,000 worth of Steem in 3 days with no initial investment. The aim of the series is to turn new users in to long term daily active users by providing them with the skills they neeed - i think it is important and I feel that there should be a page that focuses solely on brand new Steemians, showing them the ropes through online courses, and curating content to give them the boost that they need. Again, I would be happy to do this, so I am currently trying to get SP delegated to myself so that my vote is worth something to new users. This way, even if we can't advertise on platforms like Facebook, we will spread the word by word of mouth of new users - not the most effective strategy, but it would get in a lot of active users in my opinion.
Thanks again for the post, let me know if you would be interested in any of this work! I have a graphic designer on board already, so we have a good skill set to start with. Would reall appreciate your support on my latest series for beginners!
