Nope, affiliate programs bring out the worst in people to scam and cheat a system by signing up themselves etc. Also you are rewarded for bringing in other people. You should be promoting your pages which most likely means they are going to follow you and thus upvote your content which in turn gives you "money" I honestly would not change a thing about Steemit as its growth is rapid and there is no need for an affiliate type program.

Hi @bitcoinflood,
Your thoughts on this are similar to mine. In a sense, the MLM system is already in place in that if you bring people you know to Steemit, they are likely to upvote your posts because they know you. This is already bringing in a lot of new people and will likely exponentially grow the platform.
Let's say someone didn't have a big "network" of friends, but were really good at paid advertising and building a list. So they could drive thousands of new members to sign up. Wouldn't that be a good thing, in the end? More members? And is each member "worth" something to the Steemit founders? Like is there a monetary value for each new sign up? Or no?
I think there's more of an incentive for the content writer or person good at advertising than for the founders of Steemit. If I could get a lot of people to follow me on Steemit, that's probably more valuable to me than it is to the founders of Steemit.
I may be wrong about that, but I don't think so. If you have looked at the Steemit growth over that past few weeks, it's incredible. Over 20K people in just a week or so. That's 10% growth of user base in less than a month. Whatever they are doing, it's working!
Agreed!
