Thank you very much for this fantastic comment, your resteem and for the follow. I truly appreciate it!
They did not Understand how it worked
They saw 0.00 payouts as a confirmation that they were lied to
Exactly. One cannot be certain of this, but I believe these are two of the reasons people have given up on Steemit in the past and will leave Steemit in the future too. And that's saddens me, because it doesn't have to be that way.
People are working hard, just like I've been doing myself, to educate, inspire and motivate people.. I've been trying to tell people the truth and I've tried to encourage people. However, it's often hard to argue with people and to tell them that they need to work hard and put in tons of effort, when the sole reason for them to join Steemit in the first place was due to the lies about hundreds of even thousands of dollars within a blink of an eye.
That's why I want these advertising campaigns to change. So we tell people the truth. - That way we will be able to bring people here without empty promises and that will reduce despair too.
Well your heart is in the right place, and I'm confident that a Dolphin or even a good whale will eventually read your thoughts and help you be a little louder.
After all, we can think of Whales and Dolphins as the ones who stand to gain the most of our user retention, if they are good investors, like many of them already are, they simply could not disagree with your analysis.
Well, they might agree but there's also the possibility that even though they might agree with what I've said, they might not believe it's worth an upvote. :D
However, I'm glad you agree and I'm thankful for your kind words.
;) its already happening!
Hehe yeah, you're right. It's awesome! :)
