Quoting a public figure is common and fair game.
Showing a picture of the person being quoted saying what was quoted is hardly a problem.
Focus on the reputation of Stan Larimer and Michael Taggart. We know Mark well and despite his past problems we are still willing to work with him. And how exactly can this promotion be a scam anyway? I've watched BitShares and Steemit get called scams continuously over at bitcointalk. Is that culture REALLY what we want to build here at Steemit?
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
My guess is that they will publish overpriced low-quality product. Possibly something that will annoy other steemians (like spam and bots). They are using xeroc as a model, but as far as I know, xeroc hasn't used their product to make money. Lyford seems to have promised money making products in the past but hasn't delivered them.
I don't even see any reason why we need any kind of referrals in Steem. This system is growing on it's own pretty well. Steemit had to even stop new registrations for a while! With this kind of success it's useless to spend more money on advertising.
I see a reason but it can be on the blockchain like the referral system works for bitshares!
Agreed. Just provide referral rewards in the protocol, and multi-level marketing will happen naturally as people realize that referring their friends is a complete win-win for both parties. No need of sketchy get-rich-quick "products".
And I will still bring more people my way. WIN - WIN
You mean the referral system I helped design and modeled this after?
He not only used @dan picture... He used it as the first picture on his post so it works like his post thumbnail !!! He tried to use @dan reputation to promote his questionable promotion like he did with @xeroc interview... How can you not see it?
Even if Mark Lyford is legit you never use a guy with so bad reputation to promote your products! It is as simple as that! And common you are mentioning Brian Page who took a couple millions of bts to market bts and resigned before he made his "job"!
exactly that was the reason for my great disappointment ... I never thought you will make such statements... I can't believe you don't see the danger for steemit and your future reputation... You can't ignore so many s people opinion ...
Because I know the truth.
What's a reputation good for if you can't stand up for the truth and defend a valued colleague?
Besides 90% of the opinions on this post are positive.
Just a few abusive whales.
The few control the many. Right @ned? nodiscussion or - feedback that could help.
I sent thousands of people to your website today.
I educated thousands more about it.
you vote up: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@brendazambrano/hi-i-am-the-first-playmate-with-more-than-a-million-followers-to-blog-on-steemit
And vote down my initiative that @dan voted for - and sent me an email.
Call me.
I'm not going away.
Ya, I guess the rights to the recording and permission for use - as well as the absolute relevance to the conversation at hand has nothing to do with it?
If this is the culture and the way others treat each other around here, then it is shameful.
My ideal culture is the one that kicks scammers away as soon as possible, without giving them any chances to trick money from people.
Also Lyford and Michael have been behaving very rudely for the last couple of days. They don't seem to have any tolerance for criticism. Instead of answering politely and with facts, they start calling with names and downvoting. I wouldn't recommend them as business partners for anybody.
If they are not scammers, how do you explain that they are acting exactly like scammers?
Excuse me... I haven't posted a single reply to any of this.... So would you care to elaborate exactly how I have been behaving rudely?
