This is so true, there are too many people who are not willing to at least do some research about this website in order to see how things truly are. They usually use a simple argument of "Don't believe everything you see on the internet!".
I think we got in a era where we are pretty much smart enough to make the difference between something that's fake and something that isn't.
Even I was skeptical about Steemit until I did some research and I saw the website myself.
It's sad that some people just don't believe anything and would rather stay in the same place forever rather than trying something new. Most of them will realize the mistake they made in the future, and they will want to be on Steemit.
Too bad that then, it will be probably harder to make money on this website, because there would be too many people with the same goal.
Great article, upvoted, and best of luck!
