He still got many high profile writers in his niche to join. Pound for pound, it was a great investment in term of marketing.

Not denying he's helped bring in people but this whole winning 30k in a week got trough his head. If a community bring you to share more of what made you famous with them you provide them what they initially brought you in for. In any case this guy is a known scammer it was just a question of time before his money greed side start popping up. Will he reimburse all those people he scammed with the money he has made? Well it's yet to happen

And it's the same crowd that could drive the value of the network as a whole into the ground. This isn't some get rich quick scheme, nor a quick exit ponzi. Getting too many 'shady marketing types' onboard will only hurt long-term legitimacy and image of Steemit. Greed is only good untill it is bad. You can only milk the cow for so long, and the balance is a fine one.

What's wrong with clickbaiting? You're another communist thinking that we should ban marketing and advertisment?
@dollarvigilante Good Job!

I agree, genzai, having followed The Dollar Vigilante for some time now. Founder Jeff Berwick is eccentric, but he's a fearless defender of freedom. And in that spirit, I hope the problem I'm having (pinwheeling) when I try to post an essay I wrote will be fixed soon.

@kuriko Aww... Someone's got sour grapes... :D
