I'm all for onboarding. Here's the problem: No one has demonstrated that they can actually do it successfully. Not Steemit, not any of the projects claiming to onboard (some with large delegations which they usually monetize to their own benefit directly or indirectly). No one. The user base is stagnant to shrinking.
If someone demonstrates a method that can successful turn some reasonable budget in STEEM per new user into actual users who retain past early attrition then I will be the first one lining up to support such a project, and encouraging others to do so as well. I don't see it anywhere.
Its not that hart to onboard.
Step 1: Find and Pay a good online marketer.
Step 2: Let him make Guest posts, Video Marketing, Sponsored Videos .... that show all the benefits and of course it can be made in a big scale in different languages .
Step 3: Make the Onboarding fucking easy for the target group.
It works for onbaord Devs, Investors, user and content creator.
But nobody does this because it cost time, money and you only really benefit from it if you have a huge stake.
Thats the reason Steemit inc need to do this because they benefit the most.
But before SBD need to be removed or changed to a copy from DAI. Because next Bull ( if it happens) it will look like a Scam Site.
It's hard to explain to people (old and new ones) that a $ 1 token is not worth $ 1.
