RE: An Unstoppable Force And First Compelling Mass Market Solution
I'm really not as sure here. I don't think that the only reason people join is to earn a lot of money. I joined because @officalfuzzy told me that there was interesting tech stuff happening, and did end up earning some money. Better still though is the fact that the money causes people to:
- Have the time to produce great content
- Be incentivized to publish great content
- explore new lifestyles
.....
And the rest, that's not written yet. The users who abandoned, should come back for the content, and if they want to earn, they should practice, practice, and practice their writing. Writing is really difficult and we're not all going to be successful in steemit terms at it from the get-go. That's alright.
What about coming for the idealism of not giving Facebook the control to censor our content which they are doing?
So we don't build up our following and then have someone else in control of that asset we invested to build. No one else should own and control our investment of effort, time, and creativity.
That's the main thing I noticed people do understand, regardless of their background, that this is different from Facebook because it open and decentralized.
