The article was specifically meant to activate loss aversion, as this is more powerful than gain for most people.
Regarding vividness, I tried to do this with my visualization exercise. Do you think that was successful?
I realized after I posted the parent comment that I was trying to accommodate the critical comments even though I wasn't at all sure they were right.
