I don't want to use

To be on a site means you want to 'use' it on some level...Right?

MORE free

NOTHING is really free. That's the problem with today's economy...FREE.

I respect your perspective; but, I believe it increases value to have commitment; be it in life and/or social media. I get it. I hate having to sign in to use Pinterest. That's why I don't use it often.

The goal of Steemians is to increase quality bloggers/vloggers who are passionate about working to make it competitive...to make it grow.

In all honesty, if someone wants a 'free' platform, there's FB, and others. Oh, my bad...I can't use FB without signing up....I hate that; which is why I don't do FB unless I have to.

On the other hand, I don't mind one iota having to sign in to Steemit EVERY day; thus, my belief that having the pop up would encourage 'serious' people wanting to earn while adding to the platform, in a way that will attract investors, is crucial for preventing huge discrepancies in ?people who are all about the FREE; and never the tip.

bait and switch

Imo, Steemit has been anything but this. Never in my years of blogging have I grown zero wealth into what's in my Wallet as we speak, with a huge blessing to invest without coming out of pocket. Btw, what you see is a percentage of what it was a few short weeks ago, when SBD topped ~$15. All praises to God.

Perhaps, you should research a few more testimonials. I know you're new; but, with quality work; and a passion for creating, you might find you have a different perspective later on.

Best regards.

Peace.
