Well written post, but i disagree. i have some friends who joined after seeing that i made 5K with one post.
Even he is writing about the cash, the fastest way to get people in, is to play the greed card.
He will bring 10x more users to the platform, than saying "yeah its so great, technically its better than XYZ" nobody cares.
So for Steemit, its better at this moment, that everybody has $$ in his eyes, than and there is a gold rush, as there is a thing called conversion rate.
Lets say he brings in 50.000 Users. maybe 3000 will stay.
that's still better than bringing in 10000 users and only 1000 will stay.
And you cant blaim him for branding himself for the person he is. that's how he got successful, and he shouldn't change himself.
Yep yep. ;)
;)
just to make everybody feel better.. i am in cryto since 2012 and i never heard of the dollarvigilante before...
dunno, i was maybe to busy setting up a miner farm ;)
anyway. both of you are good in getting the masses to move.
you OP with your populist post and DV with him, just being him ;)
i think, we need 10 more DVs, so the masses come into the platform. i explain to everybody, listen, i spend 7 days trying, than i got my first 5K post. after that i struggled for a while, but i had small hits with 200$ or 120$ etc. (today https://steemit.com/food/@knozaki2015/britafilters-hacked-read-the-whole-hacking-story-steemit-exclusive this one is up to 1000$)
So my take is, the people come in greedy, and they stay because of the awesome concept of Steemit.
If they leave, its fine because the ones leaving, would not have stayed in the first-place, even if we told them to come to Steemit because of its great content or technology or whatever.
So stop your little chicken fight you too, you are both right ;)
