Decentralized marketing of Steemit

Decentralized marketing of Steemit with or without referral rewards

Suppose for sake of argument, each person who wins big on Steemit were to spend some of their earnings on a Steemit advertising campaign? Facebook, Reddit, Slashdot, AOL, Microsoft Windows, any from a list of the most popular networks and apps on the Internet. Then afterwards, they report back the results to the community to receive upvotes or not.

Typically people would do this for referral rewards but even without referral rewards in place the incentive to advertise Steemit could be that the more people who join, the higher the price gets, and since we are all in the same boat we all rise together. Whales may have the most incentive to do this because they benefit the most from the growth of Steemit while minnows could have more influence due to a higher price.

I realize if more people took part in marketing Steemit in marketing campaigns, over a very diverse area of the Internet, including ads for Youtube for example, that Steemit could go viral. How do we promote a trend?
