Default Question for fingerstyle players

I was doing some reading today about fingerstyle technique and I'm curious as to what others are doing. It was talking about that on the stroke, your finger should be pushing the string down towards the top so the string vibrates more perpendicular to the top instead of parallel to it. So the stroke is more pushing the string downwards instead of plucking it upwards. I have long fingers and I have been definitely doing more plucking. So are you a pusher or a plucker and is this something you have consciously worked on to change? Thanks.
