Human nature!! There will always be the slug baits out there who don't want to do anything no matter what. But I do love the idea that you shared: "It is about providing choices". Indeed , I dearly wish I had a basic income so I could grow my presence here. In fact, I've had a few months off due to illness, but have to go back to work in just a few days. Out of money. But human nature what it is, I do think that if an income sufficient to live off of were offered to the public that the next day there would be massive chaos
for most people would not be going back to work and that includes Steemit. For me a stipend would be very welcome. Anyway, I am delighted to see you are willing to discuss things and seek to know and understand rather than just being locked into a position no matter what.
