Great post.
People that come to Steemit to make money leave when they don't, and feel deceived, and justifiably so.
Invite people for the content. Steemit has the best content. Users that come for great content, will be satisfied, and the money will be just gravy.
(See my post from yesterday about changing Steemit sales motto)
The content that steemit pulls out of people is amazing.
A lot of what I have produced would have never been accomplished without the encouragement that steemit gave me.
