RE: Couching the Caveats

in #philosophy6 years ago

I would like to know where you stand on the importance of readers vs writers (authors) on Steemit. One doofus (who shall remain nameless) argues that readers are far more important than writers. He apparently hasn't done much fishing because he doesn't understand you don't catch many fish without bait. Beat around the bush on that one. (I bet a buck you're gonna say they are both important. Cop out!)

Yes they are both important, but they are not equally so.

Here is where I stand:

Quality writers have outward projection, well, quality content creators. So, they are crucial to bring traffic and possibly more investment. Without investment none of this would matter much, since this whole thing is supposed to be a financial revolution dressed in ascii characters.

So, they represent the main element of the successful model's pie.

But, and this is a big But!

It's quite reasonable to imagine a system of incentives for content consumers that would allow the regular joe doe, or jane to buy a little bit of tokens and make some sunday icecream money while consuming their favorite content and supporting their favorite authors.

However, we wear many hats, I write a lot, and read a ton too. Maybe that is the reason why I write a lot.

So I copped out a bit, but I did use a good caveat and of course, it was couched nicely.

In my never humble opinion, you nailed it pretty well. You can stay, but that other doofus has to go. Anybody got a hangin' rope? ;-) (Thanks!)
