RE: Announcing Steemit's New Delegation Application Process
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'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...
