I have an alt account called @steempatron attempting to address this very thing. I'm identifying accounts on STEEM with large followings outside on traditional social media and trying to keep them rewarded/engaged. I am also attempting outreach on personalities who have been on here previously and left or not at all.

That is a nice step, but likely won't be enough unless you are delegated a huge chunk of steem, which as we have seen seems unlikely.
Well, I guess it's better than just talking about it. No offense, but there's an awful lot of that going on here, and not a whole lot of action to show for it.
For sure, like I said it is a nice step. We just need to go a lot further and it would help if we had Inc's help.
If STEEM were a traditional company, they'd have a marketing arm with a shit ton of SP giving influencers upvotes and delegations, and especially large ones for talking about STEEM to their followings. The grassroots level focus thus far on STEEM for helping the little guy, which is worthy of praise of course. But there's a massive horde of little guys just waiting to funnel their way in through these influencers. The influencers that have remained are doing it as an also ran. Why should they evangelize this platform if their reception is tepid?
Exactly, they shouldn't. Why they haven't even tried to go this route is puzzling. My guess is because things couldn't scale efficiently? That is my hope at least, otherwise I don't have a legitimate guess for them...
