It's worth it in the long run. Several folks though, no matter where they're from; say the price shoots up. They drain their accounts. Their friends drain their accounts. Friends of friends drain their accounts. Their entire extended social circle, the people that like their stuff and can relate to it; gone. Can no longer support itself. Then the price settles, they come to earn, but they wrecked themselves. Sometimes even accuse the platform of being unfair, but it boils down to the individual and their own personal choices. Then try to depend on everyone else which is impossible. Even with my amount of HP, I'm spread thin, can only hand out so much in a day. No way of even knowing everyone here.
That's why I use the orchard analogy. Takes awhile to grow one. Once it's ready, you nurture it, eat fruit forever. Never chop down the trees and sell the firewood in order to buy fruit because those trees take a long time to replace.
And I know it's unreasonable to insist people save everything. I don't think like that. I just like to point at the opportunities from time to time and remind people it's theirs, too.
