Definitely a solid step to onboard new users but it needs to solve root issues to ensure long term success

1. Every new user gets confused with 4 different keys, so there is a need for universal password (an easy to remember password) just like other social media so users can login to their accounts from any where and whenever they needed to be active on steem. Right now due to the long keys, either they are stuck to particular machine or phone or will have to remember this long enough key to login to some other system. This is where steem lacking behind as compared to other social media so it needs to be sorted somehow.

2. There needs to be a referral system with atleast 10% for affiliates so more vibrant campaign can be made and in return promoters can earn long term rewards for their efforts. Right now curation/author split is 50/50 which can be made 45 each and 10% can go to affiliates. This will help boost things a lot.

Free and instant signups should be promoted through all dapps and steemit site. DLIKE has already taken a step towards this and have an instant and free signup through email verification for new users.
