Hi FractalVisions
Thanks for sharing! Great to hear that you will do anything you can to educate and onboard high level creators! 
Reg. user retention: Coming up with creative and fun ideas to keep people engaged is certainly a good approach - I’m thinking of ways that target users’ intrinsic needs & leverage their primary motivations for participating in the space. However, that might not be sufficient for sustained engagement. We just submitted a behavioral science proposal that aims to examine the underlying mechanisms for long-term user retention: [DRAFT] Social Bonding in the City of Optimism - A Social Science Study
Would love to hear your thoughts!
