RE: Why I want steemit.com to charge new users $15 for account creation to new users

Put me down as against it.
I get that we need the demand for steem, but to put this out of reach of someone just because they don't have the wherewithal to get it paid doesn't seem right.
If I had to pay anything I couldn't be here as I am unbanked.

Sort:  

yeah, there should always be a way to earn your way in without paying... maybe a special type of account that can showcase demo work without the ability to be paid until someone sponsors their membership cost?

The ability to invite people would be nice.
Most of my friends willing to take a chance are internet friends.
My rl friends are skeptical, they think i'm on the fringe, anyways.
If the place doesn't float on it's own merits we need to adjust something in the design.
Not attack our potential contributors with fees.
Just getting to screw the credit card folks out of their processing fees should excite a large percentage of the population, perhaps we should highlight our positives?
