Huge shoutout for this one, so thanks! That's why other applications exist, and now with the resource credit system, getting steem accounts isn't too difficult; I make it known that on my site, at least, runs Wordpress with the SteemPress plugin, and after I activate two-way integration, new users will be able to hopefully register for steem blockchain through me. that's what I want, at least. In regards to Steemit, another part of it is the hot/trending/promoted. Who gives a dang about promotion? I don't like using bot service (unless said bot service is community run, and based on a token via the Steem Engine platform), good example is Hive account@tipu, so I tend to find my niche and ignore the rest of the stuff that I don't care that much about. I also think that the n ew communities that are springing rapidly up are going to help, as well. Not so entirely sure it's about the first DAP anymore.
