I'm talking about spending $300 on 1 weeks Steempower delegation. If they go to minnowbooster.net, and they spend $300 at the standard 15.6 Apr, they will get 50000 Steempower for one week.

If they prepare a well designed focus group, they can reward the community with a $2.29 Steem Upvote at full power, or $0.29 at 10%. This will incentive's a ton of minnows, to join their debates and help them make important product decisions.

One consultant at $300 an hour, vs getting a great debate going with hundreds of comments.

For corporations, a dirt cheap focus group would cost them $1500, so if they spent $1500 on Steempower, they could get 250000 Steem for a week, and reward $11.42 full upvotes.

The whales might not bother, but the minnows would flock to their online focus groups!

Just look at Tim's example. Tim's been rewarding 0.08 and 0.15 Steem upvotes for members of this debate. Look at the feedback in these comments. If Tim got one hour from a consultant, do you think he would get pages and pages of useful ideas, for improving advertising on the Steem platform?

We got like 30 or 50 people bouncing ideas off each other. This could work on a massive scale, and they could use a professional moderator to Steer the debate. This is Steem's hidden potential. No other platform, that I know off, could implement this on a wide scale. They NEED to look into this! This idea wouldn't require a hardfork or any programming changes. Maybe just create a new tag, so people know where to find the corporate focus groups.

Steem has significant edge. Hardly anyone is trolling these debates. Advertisers don't want to waste time on amateur forums, with a bunch of losers who post PEPE the frog memes all day. They would love the maturity of the Steem community. Thanks to downvotes punishments, there is actually civil debates here.

I think Steem has one of the most mature online communities on the planet. Yes maybe their a few idiots, but the majority of us, aren't here to Troll one another, we see this as an investment. It's hard to find the same high-quality feedback anywhere else.
