Another great interview, thanks guys! I think I generally agree with Riverhead's logic and approach, kudos.
If you or your curator are interested, @riverhead, I am working with some great people currently to create a multi-faceted approach to on-boarding new users to Steem and generally improve it's PR image plus, even to clean up the bidbot problem and other issues in the process (I have a workable UI feature that could truly return pure proof of brain back to Steem).
It would be great to receive any feedback/support from you, You can read the initial overview doc here (You need to login to HackMD via the homepage link at the top-left in order to view the doc).
Cheers!
