I totally agree, my approach is not pushing something with spammy mails but offering knowledge and showing people how they can use hive to start earning there. It can be about all kinds of things honestly. It can also be used to share posts like you've done which is great for engagement.
I do love your honesty btw :) I had to laugh a bit reading the first part haha. I personally never digged into this world simply because of the oldschool way it's done.. everyone deep involved seems programmed to send out spam :) which I hate. I will therefore ignore everything you say, and defo not upvote it. Mission simply not accomplished. I hope people will slowly start to see that you can send out high quality stuff and that it pays of to do so.
