If large demand for buying accounts were there, FAQ or not, we would see a lot more AnonSteem volume.
You really can't assume that new potential users are aware that AnonSteem exists.
You need to assume that new users knows only what Steemit.com tells them. Currently it tells that the only way to get an account is to get into the list and wait.
We won't be selling accounts - that isn't our bottleneck.
The bottleneck is every time when a new user doesn't get the account immediately. What people are saying this happens way too often. I don't see any other easy solution to speed up the process than selling the accounts.
We are absolutely prioritizing user acquisition—but in a data-driven way.
What does that even mean? What frustrates me the most is that Steemit Inc acts so secretively and vaguely. What kind of data you are collecting? How you are analysing it? What are the insights? Why you are not open about these things?
In my book data-driven in this context could mean making A/B testing. You don't any new functionality for that, you could just link to AnonSteem and tell that people can get an account faster if they use it. And you can point out that if they know somebody who already use Steem, they can make an account for them with SteemConnect. If you'd do that, you could see how many users actually use them and have better data.
