Lewis Winter: Likes vs Cash
on Saturday, August 6, 2011Lewis Winter Money Quotation saying Facebook “Likes” are worthless to someone who needs cash for a project – KickStarter raises real money for artists. Lewis Winter said:
“Apparently a whole lot of people like something so much they’re not even willing to give it a dollar” — Lewis Winter
This quote from Lewis Winter suggests that sometimes people claim to really like or support something, yet they are not actually willing to back it with their own money even in a small way.
It’s easy for people to say they enjoy or endorse an idea, product, cause or service, but if they are not willing to part with even a minimal financial contribution, then their true level of interest or commitment may not be as great as their words suggest.
Putting money behind something demonstrates real investment and validation, rather than just empty praise or claims of support that are not backed up with financial participation.
