Effort required to achieve your goal directly < effort required to convince others to achieve your goal for you.
...and I’ve just spotted the glaring hole in my argument, so the reason that it was unclear is probably that it was wrong.
I assume that people who share your values will act similarly to you. Before, I only considered the possibility that you would work alone (number of people contributing: 1), or that everyone you convinced would do as you did and convince more people (number of people doing work other than marketing: 0). I concluded incorrectly that the best strategy was to work alone; in fact the best strategy is probably a mixed strategy of some sort.
TLDR: I was wrong and you were right. Ignore my previous posts.
(And I’m fine with being downvoted as long I know why. I can make good use of constructive criticism.)
