yes...it's crazy...but perhaps a good sign of growth! this account i signed up with "rawutah" took about 2 weeks also. exyle nailed it...IMO. so many people are coming over from YT....and will be mining here soon! i enjoyed watching the explanation about the account approval wait time....... at the 8:20 mark of this video. https://steemit.com/steemit/@ruwan/i-filmed-this-video-of-ned-pkattera-and-sneak-talking-about-the-smts-and-the-future-of-steemit

Yes I saw that video and enjoyed watching it. It's interesting to hear that there's been such an explosion in new users wanting to join recently but it's a shame they are having to wait so long to be approved...still, it's a good problem to have.

i hear you about the let down....to new users waiting for approval. i've continued to post videos like the one above...and many of exyle's posts...to my social pages...to update as many people as i can. it's creating a fervor....but how to retain users once here...is another story. i've had quite the learning curve so far....but i'm enjoying it! so grateful for those posting/mining... about it all. please keep it coming exyle and steemians!!! you all INSPIRE!

@adamkokesh just posted this on youtube...and soon here on steemit i'm sure. more YouTubers head this way! way to bring it adam!!!!!

I hope Alex joins! I don't particularly like him but he has a huge audience and generates a lot of funny memes!
