Thank you for the feedback Jerry!

Firstly, I know that multiple projects already curate, but the issue is that with a massive influx of users on the platform, more project will need to be started to support the new users. As with any platform, as it grows, the number of big supporters also needs to grow.

It's great that you are doing advertisements, and it's great that you are getting a lot of followers which shows that the advertisements are working. The difference with the SSI is that we plan to run professional advertisements that are strategically designed to catch a users eye - there is a reason why big corporates have specific advertisement methods, there is a reason why certain ICOs get more traction than others, there is a reason why some platforms get more users than others. A big driver of these reasons is professional advertising; a video of a person explaining Steemit is great, but there needs to be a mix of people doing this and what I plan to do; Instagram ads, facebooks ads, all designed by a graphic designer, all bringing in users who are typically attracted to psychological marketing strategies.

Comparing numbers to Facebook is extremely relevant. If we want to follow Metcalfe's law like any other network, we need to try to scale and grow in a similar manner. In fact, technological innovation generally reaches adoption more quickly as time goes on, so we should be comparing to a scaled model of Facebook's history. Time does not change statistics and metrics. I did not leave out how many are coming back. Only 8.11% of Steemit users are daily active users, which is a shocking metric when compared to most platforms (even if you look at them in their earlier days). It's something that needs to be addressed, which SSI aims to do.

So, SSI is doing a lot differently. It is focusing on a different type of marketing that is proven to work, and will eventually roll out in person netowrking events, workshops, an in person incubator, and more. It is aiming to increase the amount of daily active users too, which is another unique feature. With regards to everything else that we plan to do, like I mentioned before as a platform grows so does the need for more support projects.

I hope that the above convinced you as to why there is a need for another initiative. Personally, when I have the power to help, I will try to support the growth of more initiatives. Steemit is a hub for creative entrepreneurs, so I will try to foster and grow as many as I can. I respect that this is not your point of view and that maybe you feel that you do enough with all of the great work that you do, but personally I do not understand why it doesn't seem helpful to support an upcoming innovation.

By the way, @ned is not willing to delegate SP, I simply said I contacted him about what I am doing and he said he is open to talking. I will need the support of big community players to actually bring a solid project and present it to the Steemit core team professionally.

I can't evolve my project without support; I am trying to move to Steemit as full time as I can be, but the less support I have for the project, the less that I can do that, because I need to earn to support myself and family of course.

Finally, I am not great with making videos unfortunately. I have a very good cinematographer who is willing to come on board when the project grows some more, but until then I won't be doing video advertising, in fact I can't do any advertising until I get monetary support to do so.

Thank you for getting back to me, and thank you for reading through my posts. I hope that you can see why what I'm doing will benefit the community, and why it needs support. I am really trying to help the Steemit Community, but I need initial support to get things started. Thanks again for everything that you do already Jerry, seeing all of the great work that you do was one of the things that inspired me to also start trying to do some great work for Steemit.
