The call out for the makeup tutorial was to show humility. I think it would have been the wrong move for @dollarvigilante - instead he gave a more down to earth introduction, but included the makeup picture.
A much smarter move, he'll do more for user growth and market cap than anyone else to date. That's what it's about right?.. increasing the pie
Yes, I knew it was a call out for humility, yet there was a back story to it as well and @dollarvigilante was not here during the relevant weeks in history of steemit. I simply shared so he'd have some historical context.
I am fine with how he did things. I also was not concerned about whether he humble himself or not. I do know why @stellabelle suggested it. There were people flagging likely due to perceived conceit/arrogance.
I agree with you though. This is more tasteful than emulating someone else. The fact he even did it on snapchat is pretty humbling. :)
@dwinblood, you're leaving out my own Hacker Makeup Tutorial! Mine scared the crap out of people, remember? And actually most that you mention are still active posters. @roelandp set the satire/absurdity tone a notch higher, like into outer space and I credit him with influencing me to make my own satire videos like My Account Was Hacked Makeup Tutorial
