So all of this got me thinking on how to improve the marketing and amount of traffic. So at the moment there is like 75-25 split of the money between curators and authors right? What if you take 2,5% from each side and start putting those 5% into an advertising pool? Or if not advertising these funds could be used for bounties. Like write 2 solid posts per day for 5 days and get $10 or something like that...

I don't know exactly if Steemit devs are advertising steemit or is this all just user based so if anyone has more info on this, I would be interested in hearing more ;)
