Hi @homosapiens,
You're on the right track with this. We have all this energy that's being lost into the void. That's just a waste. But a few guys will never be able to do what this community can collectively. And as said previously, us doing all the marketing alone won't scale.
So while the technology we need to have a more competitive product (communities, effortless onboarding) is in production, we need to create the protocols and systems that allow us to effectively use our time and energy.
We could lay out documentation on influencer engagement tomorrow, but what would be the point? We have no way of effectively coordinating, no way of deciding where to focus our efforts. Meanwhile all the brilliant ideas go unnoticed, because it would still be a top down approach. So instead we'd like to create the structures for putting all the great efforts to good use.
Given your comments, it seems you really get that, so good on you.
You are correct. Stick to the game plan, there are a lot of naysayers.
