I am not a massive fan of a referral system. Never have been. I strongly believe that the correct way is the Crowdsourcing route proposed. Stephen

Glad to hear that. Referral systems have two major drawbacks: it creates an incentive to spam, so people will see steemit in a negative light, and it diverts people's attention away from creating good content. If people think they can make money by referring others, before you know it we have many users who only put energy in getting more affiliate reward instead of writing and curating.

....I could not agree more. This is EXACTLY why I have never been a fan of a referral system for STEEMIT. For me the Marketing and Promotion HAS TO BE the Crowdsourced Route and nothing else. Thank you for the contribution. I appreciate it. Stephen
