I don't agree with that. Show me any topic that explains the benefits of CTL.
I disagree with the premise of needing topics to explain "the benefits". We need discussions on
all aspects of the trust system, particularly if we want more people to use custom list. We have a lot of that, starting here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5095156.0And there are threads aggregating at filtering that info. CryptopreneurBrainboss already provided you a link to a thread specifically about trust lists.
I know the value of mass communication and enlightenment but realize that the circulating DT1 members are opposite that.
That's false. For example look at LoyceV, DT1 member - has a bunch of threads on all things related to DT/merit/etc and does a whale of a job enlightening everyone who cares to read. There are many other DT1 members discussing the system here in Meta to the point that some
whiny bitches users are actually complaining of the opposite (too much talk about DT/merits/etc) but that's another story altogether.
