RE: Money Is A Poor Representation Of The True Value Of Your Content
In the USA a lot of our value system is messed up. In my state and most states the highest paid government employees are coaches. You can make 10 times or more coaching football for a season verses running the whole entire state! I think all of the NFL coaches and most big college football coaches also make more than the President of the USA. I think running the entire country should be valued more than coaching some players to play a game. We also spend a lot of time and money on sports. I think sports are good but I think they are overvalued whereas things like fighting and gaining freedom are undervalued.
True that. It is jacked up for sure. I don't get that either.
I would love to start or be a part of projects that compensate people totally different than how societies normally compensate people. I would love to see people compensated based on character and contribution to community instead of by skills and performance.
I'm hoping steemit can help change things. Maybe not by much but at least a little bit. I think even raising awareness can help. I used to spend a little bit of money on spectator sports. In 20/20 hindsight I think I would have spent less. We all make bad financial decisions at times.
I do understand, what you are saying, but this is (unfortunatelly) the issue of numbers. TV ratings, sponsors, company earnings, media exposure ... It's just the way it is. If people would not want to watch NFL on TV, the coaches would not get paid that kind of money. It's as simple as that.
Yeah I don't think people should spend as much time and money on sports. I'd upvote your reply but my solo upvotes are below the .02 earnings threshold.
