RE: What Happens On The Internet Every Minute? And on Steemit?

in #steemit7 years ago

We need to make it easier to get users to use this platform so we can get more people over to us. I seriously think the initial encryption key to log in is the biggest barrier to getting new users because I think many Instagram people and Facebook and especially Twitter users would find Steemit a better killer app for them to blog with more than 160 characters but are so used to user genersted passwords that they see the key and say "whoa this platform is for pros". I wonder if somehow they could generate a QR code on the screen of their Facebook or Twitter acct that would allow them to use that as a key for a new Steemit account. I am not a programmer so I dont know if something like this is possible but I do know that signing into your account with this large and intimidating key has probably scared away many people so far and that the community could be a lot larger should people be able to log in easier. With the eSteem app I think this will make the userbase explode though. I have been using my browser up until lately but the app has improved significantly. Maybe we should all throw some $$$TEEM into a pool and target Twitter followers or Instagram and let them bring all the Facebook users over. I think if we focus on one platform to get new users that many other networks will follow. I was surprised so many people still use Vine and depressed to see so many people watching BuzzFeed haha😂💩. How much do you think STEEM will be worth if we get a million users? Upvoted!

I agree with you that some of steemit functions can be a big obstacle for the arrival of new users ! But it's also normal that the platform has some protection with a hard wordpass as it is about money, and also with our phone number for nobody doing multi accounts !
