I agree that Jerry should have edited the video to try and get his message accross in a better way. I joined around the same time as he did and in those early days found his videos very informative but also quite long and self indulgent . Over the year I saw him use all the tools that the code of steem allowed to become a major player and in ways expose all the flaws in the system, shining a light on them for all to see.
Freedom of speach is very important but I think it also means we have to be careful of what we saw an how we say it. I look on his video as the third act of a four act play. Hopefully in the last act we will see us all live happily ever after and steem can grow from it.

You and I have a very similar viewpoint, what is next for our platform? I have always been a prepare for the worst and hope for the best kind of guy but what is the worst I should prepare for?
I have hopes that the fatal flaws in our system can be corrected but the real concern to be I did not touch upon, flagging! The downvote system that is currently in place allows for much abuse in the same way the bid-bots allow for pool rewards rape. I understand the necessity of the flagging system but I have also been a unknowing victim of a flagging war and I had almost given up at that point.
Temping The Devils Again I Am )Look at me now? Founder of #OneLoveDTube a community of support, so thank you @haejin and @berniesanders your battle encouraged me to create a community of love in the hopes of educating the masses of how to do well using all the tools available. This video I created is meant to be an example for those wondering how to make impact with what they have at hand.(
I am doing fairly well on this platform and I hope to keep it that way! I work towards becoming my own version of a Jerry hopefully with a little effort become the more tactful voice of reason. I see two outcomes to his technique of raising awareness and sadly we are seeing the worse of the two, IMO with Jerry's situation.
So here we are, curtains have drawn closed on the third act as you say, the music is shifting to an unfamiliar tone. We are left to wonder is this a story of tragedy or success, what does the last act hold for us? Is it really the last act already? Will our favourite characters survive? What is the moral of this story?
Thanks for stopping by with such an insightful comment! I really like your analogy of being on the final act.... as always....
Stay Strong and Steem On!

p.s. I just noticed @jerrybanfield resteemed this post, I will take that as approval and thank you for the support it means alot to me! xOxO
I've gotta say, it's fucking disgusting that you want to be @jerrybanfield. The dude literally sucks his own cock and has stretch marks on his back from it.
Did you not see his latest "comedy"? It was deplorable and has since been removed I'm told. @jerrybanfield is a deplorable human being and knowing you support him makes you no better.
P.S. - It's "a lot", "A LOT".
Thank you for the correction.
I have never done that nor do I ever intend to.
I did watch his video and seen imo how it could have had a awesome impact on the trending list problems.
I intend to spread a light on these situations and allow people their own judgements while giving insight, should people follow the rabbit hole progress shall be made.
Appreciate you stopping by a lot 😉, it’s more of an honour imo.

You're a fucking sheep. BAAAAAAAH!!!!
Man, I think it took a lot of courage to weigh in on this topic, and I appreciate your perspective. You seem to do a lot of leading by example and it definitely pushes me out of my comfort zone, which is a good thing, if we intend to grow as people.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you didn't really say you want to be Jerry B, or even be "like" Jerry, but your own version of "A Jerry Banfield". This may be seen as splitting hairs to some, but I took it to mean someone with influence and something of an unfiltered approach to speaking your mind. Except with more tact. And probably, based on your criticism of Jerry, more strategic action.
There is a lot to learn from the people in our community that have experience and power. Not all of it is good, and it's a challenge to figure out how to engage constructively.
One of the things I find really encouraging and healthy about this platform, is that it is a potentially vibrant place to speak your mind. Hopefully we can continue the spirit of meaningful debate, learning what we can from others, and all grow stronger as a community.
I am very much inclined to just not say anything, it would be obviously safer. Since that wouldn't do anybody any good, I thought I should venture out and speak. I appreciate you leading the way, a lot.
You are completely correct.
This was my attempt to engage constructively ;)
Ahmen
I appreciate you watching my back.
Always really good to read your comments, need to get you writing more often ;)
Thanks for venturing out, at least I know you clearly heard my message ;)
