RE: Happy to talk to community
i always imagine this place having as good front ends as facebook, youtube, instagram et al, and then having to 'market' the fact that all content producers get paid to share original content - not a hard sell.
of course, that's another utopian dream that flies in the face of what we knwo of man, but a dream nonetheless..
An easier sell is explaining to consumers how they get paid to enjoy the content. Getting paid to produce content is normal and can be done a million different ways. I don't need to be here in order to make money producing content. One of the biggest mistakes made in the past was marketing this place in the way you suggest. What happens is amateurs show up and expect to get paid on their first day instead of working for years and growing organically. That's one big reason why so many leave. They came for the money, but then realized it wasn't a free lunch. On the other hand, getting paid to be entertained, provided one purchases STEEM and earns curation rewards, it doesn't get any easier than that. Anyone can do it, but not everyone can produce content. Wise to promote to the millions of eyes, rather than the thousands of creators.
you're right; people like to do both, but like anything in life, there is no free lunch.
however, there is no lunch at all with big tech.
