well, for me, I simply see so much he could be doing to help the platform we all have invested so much of our valuable time to. He wrote something on another post about how he 'thought SMT'S were going to be big but we'll see'... when i can't differenciate my resteem's from my blog posts, I randomly can't post or transfer from my wallet... when i can no longer see past a certain date what my wallet transactions are... and further, when the fact that Steem is the easiest place to exchange and buy/sell/trade my crypto with no fees is a really big deal...
bah.
In my opinion Ned isn't working on SteemIt, he is working on the Steem Blockchain. They have been pretty clear about this!
Really clear since steemfest 2.0
If I were Ned I would certainly handle the community differently. I wasn't evaluating his performance, I was saying what he does with his money is no one else's business. That clear.
Disliking his performance is not the same thing as expecting him to tell you what he does with his money. :)
Cheers and good to see you.
