Sorry to be the negative voice, but....

I've seen this pledge in other places around the internet and it kind of
confuses me:

"I will publish a blog post on Tuesday 24th March about a woman in
technology whom I admire but only if 1,000 other people will do the same." 


So what if 1000 other people don't do the same? 

Wouldn't it be better to write, 

"I will publish a blog post on Tuesday 24th March about a woman in
technology whom I admire, it would be awesome if lots of other people do
the same!"


It just seems ... more positive somehow.
