Hi Hive account@spiritualmatters. Thanks for your post.
Actually, the way I proposed is mutually beneficial for everyone.

I wrote that the way Steemit (and thus Steem) becomes big is to use those two super advantages of Steemit social network: quality content + high rewards for content.

Steemit is the greatest unique thing so far, not Steem. These two advantages of Steemit are huge, as there is no social network targeted on quality content so far, and there is no way content creators may earn (especially new users) mostly depending on quality (inside other social networks). Youtube? No - lower earnings, only big channels earn and your account may be suspended anytime.

If Steemit platform uses those 2 marketing techniques I proposed, they will attract millions of users (currently only 30K active users per day). Users will make Steemit owners lots of revenue due to build-in advertising platform (the way other social networks make their revenue) + additionally Steem cryptocurrency will go up in price, making money to all Steem holders, attracting new projects to SMTs and other projects of Steemit founders.

P.S. You were concerned about advertisers? Done. Give more than 30K active users per day - advertisers will come. I will advertise here myself, everyone will. Advertisers are seeking for quality traffic. By implementing the proposed marketing ideas Steemit will increase quality traffic dramatically.
