RE: Announcing Steemit's New Delegation Application Process
It's bad because you are targeting people who are already on Steemit to redistribute Steemit users with some rewards
Steemit supporting steemians to support steemians is a bit pointless and time tested already
This is a "circle-jerk" that has been going on since launch. I get that it's important to talk about things that are important to/for Steem and to support infrastructure and marketing, but constantly funding low-quality efforts to hype the platform...on the platform...and reward people for simply being here is just pissing money down the drain. And you're right - this has been done repeatedly and the results are clear: It does not work.
The only solution is:
I would be happy to earn 0 Steem, if the price of 1 Steem = 10 $
The problem with Steemians is that they are not able to understand that
(10.000 Steem x 0.3 $) + 50$ today < (10.000 Steem x 3 $) + 0$ today
I really always wonder why many big stake holders care that much about their ROI? Is it better to get a big part of a small cake or a decent part of a huge cake?
Do my Bitcoins reward me with any interest?
I would happily refrain from earning any more STEEM if that caused a significant rise of the STEEM price.
As the value of a (social) network is measured among others by the number of its users, we should do everything to get as many satisfied new users on board and retain them as possible.
I always hear how bitcoin only makes you money if the price goes up.
There are over 50 bitcoin forks. Bitcoin cash was created and whoever held bitcoin at the time also now held bitcoin cash. At one point bitcoin cash was worth over $4,000 USD which would be very nice for a young man in school who invested in 8 bitcoins with his summer job money in 2016 🤷♂️
And steem is giving us all sort sof airdrops thanks to steem engine... and i guess golos before that and a few others, byteball etc lol oh yeah go check your byteball , you can sell it around now if you got it a year ago like me :D
couldn't find my wallet backup file, is there any alternatives to recover my wallet?
nope. Why dont you run a search, or find out your DEFAULT DOWNLOADS file.. serahc "downloads" on your computer.. find out the name the steemit morons named that backup file that any hacker can go find, and search for it. You were SUPPOSED to save your key to lastpass.com or something but @ned and @elipowell dont care about serious stuff like key management.

I've had the solution for months and months, and although the reaction to it by everyone is 'awesome and exciting', nobody is willing to help me dedicate development to it because these things take time and money. Delegations, especially at this price that gives out $15 a pop max at 1 million SP, are pointless if the recipient is just going to use it to continue the status quo. A delegation does not excite outside investors. It'll never satisfy and retain users for more than a month or so (usually 1 or 2 posts before a user is gone for good right?) in and of itself.
People, by and large, do not enjoy blogging. There has to be a remedy for that and it's not bigger and bigger delegations, enticing with money. I know what the answer is, and I'll try and get the delegation for it, but I've babbled on about the idea long enough...
I'm glad to see that people like you understand what is the key point - users
retention is the main point here

There are examples of delegations for this exact purpose of working to grow the market for Steem: the original delegations Steemit made to onboard new users. Delegations for larger accounts, such as Dtube, also seem to be doing good.
I haven't made a meticulous analysis, but during periods when Steem users were increasing, those delegations were integral to that growth, and Dtube is approaching a form, IMHO, that may enable them to grow by absorbing disenchanted youtubers. I am shocked they aren't enabling folks whose content is demonetized on youtube to be monetized when ported to Dtube, and think if they do, they will quickly gain import as that will enable youtubers to keep their youtube channels, but to get around demonetization by migrating their audience to Dtube where their content and audience can provide substantial economic benefits.
Not really disagreeing with your overall points, just pointing out that specific delegations of the Steemit stake can do a lot of good.
