@surpassinggoogle is the founder of the initiative. I go through all the posts on these tags and write upwards of three articles a week about posts and offers. #steemgigs isn't the only tag I do this with. While I'm not an "official member of the team", I do a lot of marketing on steemit, and just want to see people using it correctly. You're not the first I've called out for using tags that don't belong, and you won't be the last.
I'm not sure why you never hearing of me would have an impact on incorrect tag usage, but I'll let that one go. I'm truly not trying to be rude, I'm just a very blunt person.
