"Fear and desire: Marketers manipulate your emotions for their benefit."
Exactly. It is why I have stayed away from "marketing" and letting the community upvote what they want to see while they pay me for the time to organize and moderate the discussion (along with the long list of other projects that need built to open this up to everyone).
Always had a bad taste in my mouth that they had #beyondbitcoin in the "marketing" section of #bitshares forums. Marketing to me feels like using the force for evil. :P
....and because of your COMMUNITY BUILDING-- @menta and I know one another at all :D!
