RE: The Perfect Steemit Pitch and My Steemit Strategy

I think that's reasonable, but then you're eliminating from the pitch one of the most innovative and compelling aspects of the platform. Definitely think it comes down to personal choice and subjective determinations. But in my experience no one comes out of a pitch like this thinking that I've been deceptive about the censorship aspect. Either people don't care about the censorship issue at all in which case they don't think about it again, or they care about it and so ask for details and then appreciate the sophistication of the approach. The value of this cannot be underestimated. I promise you that no one will ever care about the censorship issue if you approach it by carefully explaining the mechanism. Telling them that it's impossible piques their interest and actually opens the conversation to talking about censorship and the sophisticated manner in which it is handled. No one has ever remotely indicated that they felt this was not a reasonably accurate description of the platform except people who are already part of the platform which is the precise demographic you do not want to pitch to. The probability of this pitch misleading people or turning them off to the platform is effectively zero, though that does not mean that it will turn them on to the platform. However, if anyone uses a pitch like this, talks about censorship being impossible and gets a different reaction with a high frequency, then I will consider revising the pitch. However, as someone who has used this pitch I know that is not the case. The biggest problem with this pitch IMO is that it is probably not as compelling as it could be. I think insights from someone with more experience in marketing and advertising could probably make it a much more compelling pitch. But fundamentally what this comes down to is whether you think the point of pitch is to be perfectly accurate or perfectly persuasive.
