Look.. For only 3steem (which is at the moment ~1$) you get your instant account.
I agree that rcs make problems but the community is helping out with delegations (at least in the german part)
So that's no argument to say that everything's bad.. Make people jump on your bad vibe train.
You want Investors but cant imagine that the bad vibes at the moment won't bring new investors willing to believe in our project..
I also agree that 3steem is not free..
But where is something free on this world?
a bitcoin address is free, how many do you want a million of them? Free Free Free. A Bank Account is free, usually your parents can apply for one in your name when you are named and got your id number so they can start saving in your name (that is what they hope), a Facebook, a gmail, a google, a twitter, a giphy, my gosh - everywere I look there is FREE ACCOUNTS!
Accounts should be free & Easy - The Majority Capital/Stake all agree on that. So shaddap!
It is everything your account can do that should have a cost. Except making more accounts for your friends etc. We all want more people - much more people.
Just because a Facebook account seems free for you, it is not!
Same for most of your other examples.
Steem isn't selling your data, nor doing ads, or any other business model like the known. Steem is different. And I'm happy with that.
And 3 steem still seem nothing to me compared to what I get for it.
I think one of the biggest problems is as followed:
People expect a finished product. Such as facebook or instagram or any other social media.
But they get infrastructure. People don't know what to do..
Would 3 Steem seem more for you if STEEM was worth $4.5 each? or $8 each? or maybe even a $25 each, not that we have been to $25 but we have been to $4.5 and $8.
So why do you post this now then?
Dont we have other problems now..?
We don't even know if steem is going > 1usd anytime soon again.. ^^

Other problems? What other problems? I still cannot onboard my friends in a satisfactory way. A stranger cannot find a way to get to steem blockchain without buying an account or waiting for 4-6 weeks on steemit.com which do not want to keep spending money on giving away free accounts.
I agree with them.
Imho you could have easily sponsored every friend of yours a fresh account..
Sure I can, I dont even have to pay the 3 STEEM since I can just claim accounts with my big stake of RCs.
However, I cannot help in the friend onboarding friends onboarding friends. We need to make accounts the easiest and quickest thing on STEEM, that must be the first priority.
I suggest printing 10X-100X more accounts per RC then what we currently are printing per day. Maybe even 1000X - that would make sense and smooth things for onboarding, then many of us can set up faucets for account creation on the STEEM blockchain.
