RE: Must Read: New Strategy to make Steemit grow and have your friends and family join without being so Pessimistic
Usually it is fear of unknown that makes people put on the mask of a skeptic or even become condescending. I use the same tactic - pitching the things people are less likely to get suspicious about. If it doesn't work, I just cut off the conversation right there. If you don't trust me and have nothing good to say, better not say it at all.
Good point about fear of the unknown . The funny thing is this is literally no different than other social media sites, but the money part is where I think the fear comes from .
People have learned that free cheese is always in a mouth trap. That said, they just take for granted the fact that even though they are Facebook, it is Facebook that earns money. In fact, they can't imagine it can be different. It is deeply rooted in us that free services must be paid for with our attention even though we make those free services work with our own talent and time.
Discrepancies, illogicalities and contradictions. Life is full of them...
