Another suggestion from
is to consider burning SBD to promote posts!
yeah... and we can actually do amazing things about this. But not only on Steemit, but also on eSteem (cc: 
eSteem and Busy also should display in some place those promoted posts. This do not have to be always visible, you can ask once a user, whether they want to support STEEM network by displaying promoted posts in some place.
For example if eSteem would notify me once a day about post which spent on promotion the most, then as a user - I would not be very much annoyed, but as a STEEM shareholder, I would be happy that someone spent money on promotion.
Actually notifying all eSteem users which has this option enabled would be totaly different model on promotion - take all or nothing. Actually people will start to bidding, because they will start to guess how much will be enough to be on first place at 00:00 UTC every day.
Even if they will "loose", they will be still proportionally promoted on Steemit :)
We are a shareholders of Steem - please give as a tools, thanks to which people will going to burn more SBD :)
