Without @stellabelle, these secrets would probably never be revealed in the first place.. Anyone who shares their secrets with stella knows that they'll get "only" 50% Steem Dollars.. And I believe it's fair!
Sure, I would love to give her a secret writer-story and make 75% or even more than that, but I would first of all, take into consideration that @stellabelle, has something that I lack. I lack Steem Power and I lack reputation.
So even if I would share my secret myself, or share my own secret as a "secret writer", then I would probably never have the chance to make as much as stelle does. Sure, every now and then perhaps, but stella keeps doing it on a regular basis.. That's worth a lot and I believe that's also why people are using her service.
Regarding the secrets never being revealed in the first place.... so what?
Regarding that you think it's fair... it isn't
Your 2nd paragraph... I can't decipher it, how would you make 75% when Stella keeps 50 and 100?
And your final paragraph, you might be right about people using it for quick SMD, but I hope you're wrong, because if not then we verge on creating a social media device with nothing unique and everything I detest, and we may as well just call some users "Editors", as in newspaper editors, who can pick and choose the articles they want, keep the wealth, and pay authors minimally. I.e. I hope people won't send stories to others for a quick buck, but will post it themselves and earn it for themselves, just as how the platform was designed.
I do believe that this can work as some sort of "therapy" for some, but I won't lie, I do think that there's a few "rotten eggs" telling a made up story just to earn some quick cash.
I think it's fair but I can see your point. However, I still believe it's up to each and everyone to make the decision for themselves, whether to share their story or not.. And it seems like people are doing just that. They use stella's service and I bet most of them are satisfied with the results. Especially the ones who's using it to get fast cash so to speak, as they most likely doesn't care about Steem Power. They want the cash and they want it fast. Stella's service is perfect for these people.
I wouldn't be able to earn 75% when the terms are what they are, what I meant was basically that I wouldn't mind earning 75% or more than that, if stella would be able to change her "commissions". However, I can't actually see a good enough reason for her to do that. Not as long as people have a story to tell and stella can do it for you.. I know that I would probably, 9 out of 10 times earn more by letting stella share my story compared to if I shared it myself.. And that's due to several reasons. Steem Power being the first. Reputation the second.
With all that being said, I do appreciate your input and I do agree with some of the things you've said. Especially the last part. I hope steemit will continue to grow and I personally hope people will share their stories themselves too. That would probably be the best for steemit in the long run, but I still can't say anything bad about stella's service as I truly believe it's a good one.
