I have similar experience. I persuaded 4-5 friends to join , but when they did not get the Sign up even in 1 week , and I told them to go in chat and ask for help, they denied saying : if this is the beginning, then what is that going to happen moving forward ?
So I am also waiting for the login process to be fixed, so that I can bring more and more creative people here. I even raised a question (if you see my comments in my profile), but I was told, its working as expected.
@davebrewer Thats because there is no Steemit MNGMT and there is no steemit marketing team just like Bitcoin doesnt have a marketing team! WE ARE steemit marketing team! And @jerybanfield is the leader of steemit marketing group....steemit is decentralized! they dont HAVE a marketing director! and the small group of official steemit inc "employees" are just incorporated due to some US law, it's just symbolic, its up to all of us steemit users to advertise! no offense but I see many noob comments JUST like yours and u are coming off sounding like a spoiled millennial! You must REALIZE that WE are the maketing team!
BUT HEY about the need for marketing I AGREE we need more and I am doing my part and I know I have to do more! m right theer with you! but we cant expect a decntraized autonmous organization to be doing things a centralized company does, thats like asking why the BITCOIN management ! But look, when u do steemit ads and pay for them yourself and show steemit, steemit will end up paying back in form of upvotes! its a community driven organization!
Please rtead my blog pots if you want to see what Im talking about, see how I advertise steemit on Instagram and facebook and twiotter?? See how @jerrybanfield advertises steemit using his youtube ca,paign here? he uses the money from his upvotes to PAY for the Youtube ad campaign and then makes a post about the resuilts and repeats! its genius! a self funding youtube steemit ad money feedback loop!!!
