Well, I think the way Steemit does it is great actually. "Your voice is worth something".

However, I am not that fond of the "Money Talks" text, as it sends a weird message. That basically tells people that if they don't earn money, they're worthless and that's wrong.

"Your voice is worth something" however, tells exactly how it is. Your voice is worth something on Steemit because most Steemians will earn something sooner or later.

That being said though, this is not so much about Steemit's own advertising or statements... This is more about other Steemians advertising campaigns. Established Steemians are often referring to Steemit as a "digital goldmine" where everyone can make thousands of dollars. - And that is not true.

Sure, in theory it is true, because everyone can actually make thousands of dollars at some point. But that's not what these people are saying. They make it sound like everyone will make thousands of dollars 24/7, 7 days per week. - And they do this as it's the perfect bait to lure in new people.

However, the newcomers will do nothing but end up in despair and become demotivated when they realize that they won't be able to earn more than a few dollars...

And that will ultimately leave us with more anger, sadness and depression in the long haul. - That's what I want us all to prevent.

Advertising is always exaggerated, that's what it is!

An eye opener for them to come in!
Not all people are meant to be in steemit,
If they will come and stay, it's good!
If they leave finding out steemit is not a gold mine, it's fair!

After all, money talks is real, that depends on how you gonna apply it!

I bet 90% stay in steemit because money talks
A % leaves steemit, most reason its not their world, simply as that!

Even whales keep ranting steemit and fight among whales, see that already,
