I really like the increased communication. Here is an idea.
Steem account is closer to being a financial account than a social media account, and as long as we pretend this is not the case, users will continue to have a disappointing user experience.
Perhaps we could also offer individuals a way to interact with the block chain in similar ways as they might any other social media platform, at least initially. Now that ad revenue is a thing, it would be beneficial to have even more eyes on the page. These individuals would not be linked to the crypto rewards program and could post and like without any monetary effect. If they wished to become part of the blockchain economy proper, they could then open a wallet and be issued keys. It would require a small investment and so steemit would no longer have to delegate steem power in the early stages.
This is something we are trying out with tokenbb at the moment. Every tokenbb user has access to a global guest account that can be used to interact without needing your own steem account. Our goal is to allow users to earn a "real" steem account with their guest interactions and that way add an emotional investment to their account.
Awesome! It's great TokenBB added this possibility, I hope more will.
How is it working?
Can you be more specific about what you mean? Basically users get a guest account and when that account earns enough rewards they can claim a real account.
I think it is a really good idea too!
Really good!!

I think that's a great idea! I think in the past we wanted steemit.com accounts and Steem accounts to be as closely linked as possible, but I think you're right. Like we discussed in our retro, we need to figure out ways to make it easier for people to understand that this isn't an ordinary account, and the strategy you outlined could be great for that. Thanks again!
