Proud to have you voted as a witness. Personally I think 30SP or maybe 50SP delegation to new accounts until they reach 50SP on their own should pretty much most of the problems without doing anything. I mean steemit controls majority of the SP and they are not voting with them either. I never faced bandwidth issues while I was new. It'd be great to know how many people are actually facing these issues.
STEEM is like F2P games. You get the account to try the product. If you also get the product for free, that mess up the economics to make us look like Fakebook. There is no free lunch. If people are using STEEM so much, then spending few bucks to power up or buy delegation shouldn't be a problem unless they are in a very crypto unfriendly jurisdiction.
