RE: Happy Holidays From Steemit!
You sign up for a free account, you get what you pay for.
As if half of the world would be waiting to join Steem(it). Most of the potential new users must be convinced first to join. Often I say: "Why not just try it out as it is for free anyway?" Most of the users I brought to Steem(it) wouldn't have joined if the first thing they had to do is to pay for an account.
I agree with you, I have a difficult time getting friends to try Steemit. I have one friend that is a very active poster on Facebook, I have tried several times to just get Her to give Steemit a try. She would add so much with her posting! Put a cost on accounts and limit her ability to interact with limited RC she would just laugh at Steemit. We need to give the people what they want, a social platform that welcomes people not a good old boys club that closes the door to new people!
@silvertop Same prob here-not just recently, but the whole time I have been here. Just wrote about this.
Absolutely @melbookermusic, there are too many technically skilled and not enough average posters. Most people just want it to be simple, and to be able to post. Tell a newbie he can’t post anymore because his RC is low and he will probably just go back to Facebook
Yes, they will. I'm sure they have been for some time now.
Yes, indeed, we are just too arrogant to believe that people would need us (need STEEM). No, we need them! Thus we have to make it as easy and pleasant as possible for them instead to expect a lot of efforts from potential new users. :)
