RE: Here's a thought....Some positive action is needed on steemit.
If money is not the reason, what is?
you're seeing to 'head on...'
(from you're own perspective - which not a criticism in the slightest, btw - but it can blind you to people who do thing's where money is the icing on the cake, not the cake itself).
When you sell an insurance policy to someone, you're selling a peace of mind to the future...not an insurance policy - that's just the vehicle used, to deliver to the peace of mind.
A simplistic example, I know - but I hope that illustrates the point.
(and it highlights a point made earlier, actually...
I have no insurance. none. Not even travel insurance in the last 30 years that I've been traveling!...
but that doesn't change the fact I see other people are not the same as me, respect and understand the difference, and i could still sell travel insurance as well as anything else...
My perspective is on the sell. The 'quality customer' sells are the only way I could get my commission. (incremental 10%'s off their activity).
I see what you're saying and I'm all for selling the quality of the experience here on Steemit. I'll be happy to be an ambassador to your method as my experience has been great so far. I'd highly recommend Steemit to anyone!
My method was to look at it from a mathematics perspective and the potential of the long-term odds being in my favor. So for me, it's a game and I absolutely love the many personalities I've met here.
Everyone is pretty cool except for the few run-ins with people trying to act high and mighty about my upvoting policy. It was pretty funny to see their responses after getting several upvotes from the guy they were insulting. To get a laugh, I just kept upvoting their insults until they finally got the point. A couple even said they were sorry. I told them don't worry about it and to keep stacking whatever it takes because I believe Steem will be a spendable currency in the next few years.
