Yes, I had that thought last night while browsing his solitary post and 20 comments, which I mentioned in my answer to @yaanivapeji earlier. But that's not really my motivation.
If I did that, he might befriend a whale (somehow!) and point them at me; or, he could have the ability to fund his account to a greater extent than mine, with similar outcome. That's not what I'm looking for; I really wanted to have a conversation with him, and understand his point of view.
Not everyone's is worth understanding, though, as he so eloquently demonstrated with his actions, rather than his words.
And that wasn't even my motivation in sharing with my friends -- I did encourage all y'all to question him, and perhaps there was a subtle unmentioned "revenge!" but it was unmentioned, and really I should have worded it better than I'm not looking for attackers/defenders, just sharing what happened. Anyway, back to more enjoyable pursuits! :)
My Dear @libertytheet ! Hope ur going fine! That's a really good answer the one in here, because even tried to see his point (the shuwix one) and the flag after flag is very very silly and bad intentioned. Why these people are coming to Steemit_ Wish could find Steemit a year ago. Lol
And by the way... I dont even like Jerry at all. At least for me he did a lot of Bad to Steemit. A lot! As I assume you like him and it's fine for me, I even follow you! Lol.... Cheers!
I agree, the person behind that account seems full of negativity. And has no interest in having a conversation, just wants to spew negativity both verbally and in random-shotgun-downvote fashion.
He has replied to my comment on the initial post, twice, accusing me of being from India, and having an extra account, that being @instahater. She (I think) is one of the first accounts I interacted with, and you can see from my activity on the blockchain that I added her and two others to this automatic-voting bot, early on in my time here. Later I reduced the percentage from 100% to 10%, I believe, after funding my account. I should check that but right now I'm on my wife's laptop as we're still away, everyone else is sleeping so I've got some time to myself -- so I don't have all my bookmarks/open tabs, but will later today.
Hey @leotrap, why do you consider that Jerry has done harm to Steemit? I think his output, while perhaps a little too full of "love", is nothing but helpful. He did an analysis of the top four earners on Steemit, showing the first two were using strategies involving self-upvoting just before the window closes, and I forget what the second one's strategy was, but the third was generating content, as was the fourth -- which is Jerry!
I followed him, as he was another of the first accounts I came in contact with when I started here. I don't watch every video, or read every post, but he does seem to have some good insights, both in marketing and in analysis. Yes, I'm following you as well! :)
Just curious why you think that. Have a great day!
Dear @libertyteeth hope you are getting a good time in there so. Just forget about this Stalker.
And about your question about Jerry well, I think he is great in anlysis and marketing specially for him, but the big problem to my view is that he did more bad than good to Steemit a real BAD and he knows that and just don't even care. And now playing to be a good guy try to teach the old Steemians how to do things, the new ones and all those he invite here. The reason is simple and I will give you an example.
Steemit is the Island and Youtube the old town that's falling.
Imagine I find a paradisiac Island, big, green, no pollution, no plastic, no garbage, just people living there, hunting, farming, havinga good time and interacting in peace.. a few in a big big big place. Everything ok till there.. so go on.. One day I arrive in my boat, and the community receive me in great mood, feed me , teach me how things are, and open the doors of their houses. The Paradise I thought! But...
My old town, from where i came is starting to fall and I have a lot of money that afford me in the old town and some people works for me cosuming my products, buy my things and I m rich.. but again...the other town is falling down and people knows it. Suddenly some of the folks from the island tells me that could be so good to be more in the island, to participate, to grow together and maybe have some new thing that contribute to be a better community (let's call it videos maybe?).
Clink... I have an idea so! Will take the 200.000 people that pays my billing by buying my products from the old town to here, and they also can do wahtever they want in here.. And I'm still the chief of all because are My followers. How many people is in this island now? 200.000_ i will tell it to 200.000 more. Well.... which porcentage of the people i know are good enough to make this community grow in good way? How much are sick? How much are dirties? How much are Stalkers_ Haters? Ohhh.... don't worry, it's just a detail. The analizer is me... so... don't worry.. come on everybody to the island will have a great time, do whatever you want and just come everything is free and even more..you will earn money just for breathing and you will give me a part.
Mmmmm did I answer clearly? Maybe i'm too crazy, but that's the reason, If i do this kind of things is because im just thinking in me... today facebook, later youtube and after that whatever that helps me to make money. Steemit? Oh I in love..Steemit is my life! And the worst is that a lot of people claps him.
At least for me is so clear, and really don't like at alla people that using a silly home made face try to like to everybody. Because as analyzer he knew what was doing!
Agrrrrrrr I think in that and gives me so much anger. Because even being new in here I think this could be a great place for a lot of us, and i'm seeing how Steemit is falling down and that's hurts.
Wooowwwwww..... that's a Catarsis man! Hehehe.... Love in there to all!
Thanks for the detailed explanation! Gives me something to think about; I didn't watch his entire journey, I think he started here around the same time I did but, like you said, he brought along a lot of his subs.
I didn't have a YouTube channel (I do now, as I wanted to post garden videos here), nor followers to bring here -- but, I did invest into my account to the tune of around 15 BTC. So it could be said that I'm "doing it wrong" as well. I had wanted to "grow my account organically" but then decided to jump in head first. :) Anyway, take care!
Always a pleasure to talk with you! Enjoy your family time... !
