RE: Deployment Updates, Improved Power Downs, New Landing Page Copy
It is not really saying "join and you will make money". I understand the argument about not using rewards as the primary recruitment tool, but that doesn't seem like what this message is doing.
I disagree on that point...MONEY is very clearly placed foremost with the by line about quality content lowered in importance. This will lead to a huge increase in users, who ultimateley be disappointed with the rewards they get...leading to bad word of mouth which will really damage this awesome platform.
"Money talks" is different than "earn money" or anything along those lines. There is nothing in "money talks" that makes any implication of earning.
Again, as I said about Stellabelles idea, this might be hard for first time visitors to grasp.
I think even just the word MONEY, in an average person will immediately start them thinking about this socmed platform paying them...it is just human nature, if we see the word money we think either of losing it or having it taken from us, or earning/getting more of it. Steemit is a platform where we can potentially get more of it (money/rewards) but it sholud not be placed foremost in peoples minds when being introduced to this great platform.
