Hello @tygertyger
you have been nothing but nice to me kiddo.
Thanks for your kind words
but yes sending links to the memos unasked can really cause damage.
As I mentioned in a previous comment, in words of Benito Juárez: Peace begins with respect for the rights of others.
As i said in both my posts i would send potential people a memo asking if they would be interested in being included in your memo list
Sounds great!
I personally do not want this but I have no problems with you tagging me in posts you find relevant.
It's glad to know, love
Have a nice day 
I seldom engage these kind of posts, but I feel I must in this instance. @jadams2k18 , memos are not a good look, and are not a great strategy. To surmise that people are not bothered by them just because they are not vocal is the wrong conclusion.
You assumed in your opening that everyone came here to make money. I have steemed for 3 years, it wasn't the reason I started, and I stay for the interaction with intelligent people with great content, a great example of which is @tygertyger.
I seek out great writers from Venezuela, the posts are of interest to me and I know the votes are precious at this time due to the crisis, but those associated with message spamming come across as someone to be weary of.
It is tempting to try these things. crypto.piotr seems to need to defend his tactics and marketing strategies time and again, with backhanded apologies that generate him more attention, associated with "helping a friend."
Keep writing, engage on posts. When people comment on my post, I pop across and check out there posts. It takes time, but you will establish more genuine following. I believe "in the long run," which crypto.piotr is very open to admit is his own plan with the memo marketing, you will build, may build a loyal following. Or if you are really luck make one or two real friends... That is priceless.
Your writing and creativity is enough. It can be frustrating to not be seen, we have all experienced that.
Many people dislike the memo strategy, we are cautioned regarding scammers.
The messages with almost zero incentive to click are not new or innovative, just as the conversation involving your charitable friends engagement technique is not a new one.
PS for the record, if anyone would avoid squashing a roach, and probably feed it and put it outside in a safe spot I think it would be @tygertyger .
The memo strategy is a violation of people's privacy. But, it also serves to remind friends about prominent publications. As I do today. There are so many applications and platforms constantly bombarding you with information that I often forget to review my friends' publications, that's why I like to receive them to know if there's something new that I don't know about.
Thank you for sharing your opinion
