Thanks you for such a detailed response my friend . You are one of the few steemians I have great respect for. However, I do have some valid reasons to Disagree with you in this case, with all dues respect.
For visibility, and as a quick example, we have seen people promoting projects they have no clue about (2, 3, or 4 projects a day) nor that it would benefit neither the project nor the target audience, and hence causing more harm than usefulness to the project itself, and to steemit/utopian image (even legally this could backfire).
I am sure that is not what you would like to see happen, you know being a steemit-ambassador...
This is why I maintain that a standard should be out in place before any promoter is rewarded with say $60 worth of upvote. Utopian-io team can come up with something like...
Before a visibility post on steemit.com is accepted, the promoter must introduce 10 people and guide them to hit 30 reputation score
Now that above is a Reasonable target and anu one who wish to participate can go head and participate with a clear vision of what to deliver and amount to earn.
If 10 person do this in a day, that's 100 new persons introduced to steem ecosystem. With time, here will beehive of activities by people buying or selling steem. This whole thing will have positive impact on the price of steem cryptocurrency.
The current rules do not encourage the growth of this platform.
I am against it sire
