Exactly, promotion from bottom up. So how will a top down marketing campaign look like? Will steemit market steem? Why should they? Why should they bother to market themselves even, when they have so much free exposure from the numerous people still promoting steem, both simply because so many use steemit, and because it still gets referenced, and then there's all these numerous other things happening that create even more exposure for steem, not only steemit.
We have Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Honda and Mazda, they don't have to market the automobile, they only have to market themselves in the automotive industry, if that, in my opinion all they have to do is stick their product amongst the competition in various areas because in the end that is the exposure that sells the car, screw that, they don't even have to do that, drivers recognize performance and will gladly pay to have it, then they will set new standards for driving, and will do so partly because of their ability, and partly because of the vehicle.
How many top lists are we in that no one needed to enter us into, some very well respected ones, and most we are right there at the top, heck, we are still without any competition as far as development and user base is concerned, AND we have not only a working product but a product that has been working so good that it literally leaves everyone in the dust.
Yeah, you really do make some good points.
