found this cool account creator yesterday.

requires another account to pay a 6 steem fee, but totally worth it if you have friends that don't want to wait for an account!

But arent creating account on steemit free anyways?

No, there are no free accounts. Someone pays for it. When you sign up on steemit.com, Steemit Inc pays for your account.

When they get around to it, if they feel like it.

Yes they pay for the bandwidth, but they could upgrade their servers if they want.

But of course we see tons of spam and plagiarism from newbies (like copy pasting articles from news websites). Maybe Steemit Inc doesn't want more of that so they cut back some of the signups.

I think they could offer paid accounts though, at least that would disincentivize newbies from doing immoral things there, since they paid for it, they would be more careful.
