I think the main danger we have is another team coming along and they push their own coin with their own fine-tuned, user-friendly social media website with a smaller dev cut, better initial distribution and a focus on the end-user. If they focus on actually generating social media interest, user retention rates and have a solid growth plan then we're looking at some dire times ahead. I envision more than a few existing and potential companies trying to go that route, which is why we need to at least TRY to make the lowly new user feel a little more involved in the process with things like 1up.

Totally agree. We need to make things better.
It's in everyone's interest to make STEEM a success. It's a shame a few people cannot see past their short term gains.
I've been trying to find genuine new users and give them upvotes to encourage them.
Yeah, I am taking a wait-and-see and "do what I can while it goes down" approach considering our limited ability to do things like control the flow of vested voting power, witness votes, etc. while we still have relatively low SP.
Yes, it is, and I agree.
Same here, hopefully the small encouragement given can help the discouraged or newer users.
I have 3,000 followers on my personal twitter and another 4,000 on my brexit account. Wait until I start telling them about steemit.
I haven't done so yet until I do a bit more learning. Then the invites will go out.
There's a reason why the ocean ecosystem is moved by plankton not whales. Steemit will be the same in a year or so.
