RE: All LEO Holders Must Read This

in LeoFinance16 days ago

This feels really aggressive. Like, I get why it is, but how "little" is too "little" and what does "calling someone out" do to grow the platform? Couldn't that potentially turn people off from being involved? Statements like this kind put a bad taste in my mouth. Yes, I've got (just) over 100 Leo staked, so I'm accountable in this... but I've got a 45+ hour a week job, an 18-month-old at home, and I'm doing online schooling for a BBA with plans to go for and MBA afterwords. Forgive me for the initial knee-jerk reaction to this of, "Fuck off." Maybe I'm just not the right person to be on InLeo, but this kind of gatekeeper attitude doesn't seem like the right way to grow the platform.

It's not. Incentivizing people is a better way. What's going to happen if ppl ignore the call outs? Will they send Guido over with a Tommy gun?

lol, yeah that's a pretty good angle on my point.

It is meant to be aggressive

It takes 20 seconds every time there is a raid. You click one button and it pushes the tweet exponentially if many people get involved

Even at a 45 hour a week job and other obligations, you can do this

The point is: if you’re a stakeholder, get involved and don’t sit on the sidelines

As the saying goes, piss or get off the pot. We’re moving on toward a future where community members are involved or they are not

We will know who is involved and who is not as should any society / community

Then is this post only trying to get people involved with Telegram raids? The only time I've used Telegram in the last five years was for Hamster Kombat, and I'm even done with that at this point. What else does it mean to be involved? I do my best to check in and vote/comment on threads, but I don't use any other social media, so I try to be on the platform to help the platform.

Where do we get to see how we rank in the involvement scale? What actually happens when people aren't involved enough? Shunning? I came over and started using InLeo because I liked the community I saw. This, however, feels like the joke about the boss being able to get another Lambo next year if I keep working just as hard.

I get it, a platform (business, product) doesn't grow without marketing, but yelling at the users to "piss or get off the pot" is telling people to do the marketing or leave. I'm not in any of the crypto space because I enjoy the typical web 2.0 circlejerk. Hell, I'm not on web 2.0 anymore because of how much I dislike the same circlejerk.

I dunno, I don't mean for this to be a tantrum, this post just doesn't sit well with me as someone who likes to use 3.0 because it's different. This doesn't feel different.

How about incentivizing people to do what you want them to do instead of threatening them?

"Sorry, you don't deserve LEO because you didn't come to the school dance" is childish and silly.

Crypto is self-rewarding. The more you do, the more you earn. Hive, in particular, was built on that principle. So what if somebody holds 100 LEO and doesn't participate in your raids? Is this a decentralized business model or a country club? It can't be both.
