I would do it privately. I do look forward to meeting you some day. We were really excited about working with you guys a few years back. It was unfortunate how it worked out but I hold no grudge.
You are angry and I understand. I personally hold none of that anger and wish Jeff the best going forward as I do everyone on this platform. I promise I am working my ass off to get the word out. These kinds of posts are what destroyed Google Plus and I cringe seeing them here. Our brand is important to us as it should be for everyone. Social Media Tip #7 Protect Your Personal Brand Online.
Crypto folks judge me because Steemit, Arcade City and Tigo CTM are my clients and Libertarians because TDV is my client. In this business I will always take criticism because of how public my brand is and the association with the brands we represent. I can't please everyone but I can choose to keep a smile on my face and move forward.
I would do it privately too, at first... but it has been several years already and the damage is still outstanding. I'm not angry, I'm just disgusted and disappointed when it comes up. If I didn't care about the community, it wouldn't bother me... but when the village you love is infested with rats, it's disheartening... especially when a bunch of the villagers would rather pretend that they're wonderful pets rather than the diseased vermin they are.
I realize you're in a delicate position because of your business though. I'll definitely hit you up for a beer one day. Conversations like this are always so much better in person. I have friends in Panama and a visit would certainly be in order. :)
Actually the ones who are doing the most damage to the platform are the ones who are dishonest and are actively scamming people out of money. I've brought in a great deal of people, writers, artists and the like. Many writers on the trending pages are here because of me spreading the word, people like Eric Walton, Inforvore, Fairytalelife, the list goes on.
I understand now that you are being paid by both TDV and Steemit and that explains your inability to see the truth. Well, at least we know better what principles are at work in here.
