Well then they shouldn't expect to earn a living anytime soon. Are you saying we should cater to people who don't know how to build something, and aren't patient, so they can come here and earn enough money to live on?
See the point of it being a start up is that it isn't finished. As you point out... lot's of things don't work that well.
Some people come and do this anyway, we accept the broken parts and work on solutions. ... We make some small change as we do that, it becomes slowly over time better....
If we don't make it better, nothing new happens. If we do make it better there is finally a pay off for the work, the time and the building phase. That's what start ups are all about.
I think you have to cater to everyone, the ones who ultimately like it will stay, but they can't leave if they don't come and if you don't have a bait they just won't come. Money is the bait but it actually is difficult to make money here, I make at the most $0.30 per post but I can keep on posting because I tend to like it here and I have no expectations of making big bucks here even though these tribe things have me excited perhaps there I can hit it big, who knows. I am against most of the changes that will be implemented and have posted as much as I can just so you can know my positions, I know they make no difference but at least people know where I stand, well the few people who have read these posts.
So in the end I do think it comes down to money, if you don't offer rewards people just won't come or do you think they will come for the communities? I don't, there are thousands of communities online and I don't think that would be a good reason to join, or at least not enough to have masses of people here.
Well we agree on offering money as an incentive. I think we need to also... but I don't think it needs to be worthy of telling anyone they can make a living.
I've been here for 3 years. Took me a year to get any traction at all.
I do here your point, I guess we just disagree on setting expectations.
