Wow @x-veritas, your quick to shoot from the hip. Did I attack him, or say that he doesn't "deserve" the upvotes or money that he gets? No in fact I said that we all agree he puts out good content. Did I say that he should respond to everyone, and give us more of his time? No I didn't. I actually said that he could just choose ten randomly, if he choose the last ten replies it would take less than one minute to do.
I even said that I was only suggesting something and with no hate intended. I like Sean, I wouldn't upvote him if I didn't. He is a grown man, I just thought that I could talk to him as such. I would speak to my best friend in the same manner. It's just that the way steemit is set up, if he doesn't vote for 10 things a day his vote is wasted. Since it costs him nothing but one minute to do it, I though I would suggest it. I've seen him flag people he disagreed with so I didn't think it was a problem suggesting he use his power to reward some of his commenters.
I have nothing but respect for him, but I'm going to call it like I see it. I know that if he was to vote for ten of his commenters each day that would grow his channel even further. Now he is free to do or not do whatever he desires. I even asked that he please not upvote me. So I'm not exactly sure where you get off saying that I'm being "stingy."
Wisdom & Insight are reserved for the very few
I'm not sure why you feel the need to belittle me.
One can know nothing of what Wisdom and Insight one may or may not possess, unless one looks at what they have said. There are many ways other than posting videos people try to unshackle the minds of the enslaved.
Sean If my comment was offensive to you, that was not my intention. Please forgive me for any offense I may have caused.
I would urge you to consider what I have said, even if in my saying it, I had missed the target.
I'm sorry if You took my 'words' as a an ad hominem attack.
Nope.
I wanted to make one, meaning everyone, to take only a moment to 'reflect' on why it is Sean is lousy at giving his serious readers/commenters sufficient TIME for a reply and perhaps an upvote.
If You haven't noticed, when Sean does make a few replies, his spelling/grammar has a mistake or 2.
Why's that?
The simple answer to that is, He's either 'rushing it' and/or possibly he has dyslexia.
He WRITES always short sentences & structures his presentation in the short; no eloquent and long winded monologues to read when Sean is writing.
Or am I wrong and exaggerating?
So.
Be Cool.
Be Happy:
Life's too short to worry.
Best is always to literally 'read between the lines*.
Cheers X-
LOL I'm very familiar with dyslexia. I don't expect him to respond to everyone, as that would take heaps of time. My point is it's very easy to upvote people who comment on your feed, you don't even have to leave your homepage as you can just upvote from there. That being said perhaps he doesn't want to accidentally "reward" someone without fully reading what they say, that's fair enough. Like I said he can do whatever he wants, it's his voting power. I probably should have started out my comment with "May I suggest" as apposed to "come on Sean."
I guess It was just the straw that broke the camel's back, as far to many Ytubers just post stuff here and ignore their audience. I shouldn't have singled him out for the "sins" of his peers. I believe that he is doing his best to inform people.
Steemit is just such a great platform that really has the possibility to bring free speech back to the internet. I want people even in just the smallest ways to try to encourage people to use it. YT and the likes are being purged, if enough people don't make the transfer over, where will we be able to interact and share the "real news" with each other. For the new users getting a 50 cent upvote from one of their favorite truthers on occasion, really makes a huge difference. That is what I was trying to suggest.
btw, do me a favour. please take the time to LISTEN to the following. i'm old and my health isn't the best.

I'm trying to work my way through it. I would guess that he has similar views as my own. It might take me a bit to get through it, as I find it hard to find an uninterrupted hour to ingest a video these days. I followed him.
In a nut shell my views are: Always look at the macro level, for the micro level will never allow you to see the whole chess board. Nothing is as it seems, there are more wolves in sheep's clothing than there are sheep. Never allow yourself to think inside the box. Most importantly never underestimate the levels the powers at be will go to deceive us. This all makes sense when we recognize that the "god of this world," is also the father of all lies. So it only makes sense that his children would be put into positions of power.
Fair Enough.

Thanks for the clarification too.
It's extremely important WE have a good understanding of what someone is tryin' to say.
Believe Me. I know.
am. English is my mother tongue and I've been 'living abroad' my whole adult life.
Been that way for 40 years now.
Nuances & Tone are sometimes difficult to pick up on when it comes to the written word.
Especially when presented with the short-form presentations that abound nowadays; i.e. twitter and mini-screens on people's iphones.

This is the voluminous discourse that you people have spent quite sometime engaging on? I think the subject matter of this video might garner even one sentence of comment? You people are sick.
As you will soon find out @tinfoilhatcat, Steemit is a platform that attracts people who are willing to engage each other in conversation. If we were interested in only consuming content creators work, we would have never left YT. The reason why this discourse has grown was because we wanted to clarify and hash out our thoughts on the matter. So we would not be operating on assumptions alone. Isn't this how people get to know and respect each other in the real world as well? Or am I just a shadow of a time long past?
Everyone of us who has engaged in this conversation has commented directly to Sean's prior works. I think it is fair to assess that we all have a high level of respect for him as well. I would not have the gull to come in here and say that if it was my first time commenting to him. Granted the other parties are much more engaged with SGT's day to day postings than I have been this last month.
I do find it curious that you also decided to engage in this discourse, even accusing us of being "sick" while also failing to give one sentence on the video's subject matter. Would this be an example of "the pot calling the kettle black?" Just a thought. I know that you are very new here as this is your first comment. I mean no disrespect, but this site is a place for discourse and free speech, as well as posting content.
