RE: [Warning] Black Hat Attacks from Steem Whales have been Promised!? [Part I]
People like Jerry Banfield are the controllers on here @fitinfun, and people like him are only out for themselves... which Steemit is sadly the perfect match for such personalities.
Well, I'm jerry's fan from a few platforms and he has helped me a lot in a few different areas. On steemit I post into his upvotable posts and he has gone to support those people I've promoted and others with good upvotes and he puts some of them on his upvote bot.
I think of jerry as a kid in a playhouse. He bashes around with optimism - tries what he tries, and keeps with what works. He makes mistakes, admits them and works to improve.
I only wish I could be so successful and still be helping those down the line like he does.
He capitalizes information that is freely available on Steem. If that isn't sleazy behavior, I don't know what is. His course on how to become a witness? Not only have other witnesses (@someguy123 comes to mind) offered instructions for no charge at all, but I have yet to see him putting in the effort of actually helping anyone but himself.
Glad he's working out for you, but the guy sells free information. It's a sleazy move, and he should know better.
Well, I'm surely not interested in being a witness, so this goes over my head. If being a witness is anything as complicated as posting here at all, I'm pretty sure his advice is helpful to some.
I haven't paid for any of jerry's help, but I have been paid for his upvotes, so I'm not feeling negative about his presence here. Also - he was the final reason I actually joined steemit when I did. He has infectious enthusiasm if you don't hate the guy :)
I'm glad I'm not the only one @Anarcho-andrei, I knew there were others who saw through the bullshit.
I agree. Followed.
He has helped me, and I've never been charged. I admit that I don't know his true motives, but I can't fault anyone for making a living selling things that anyone can get for free. Many people don't respect anything for which they didn't have to pay. If I have to charge someone to get them to take me seriously, so be it.
So true! This is my basic problem in life - giving away information for free. I hope one day I will figure out how to make better money with what I know, so in that sense - he's a role model.
Indeed. Thanks for the reply.
Do some more research on him @lifeworship, he's even been kicked off of Udemy for unethical behavior... the guys bad news.
Will do, I definitely don't want to be playing the fool.
Thanks.
Up-vote bots are a disease here on Steemit @fitinfun, and as an experiment, you should create a post that says, if you think Jerry Banfield is a douche, up-vote this post, and I bet his bot will up-vote the post... does that sound logical to you?
I'm not here to make controversy and stomp on anyone else's parade, but I see your point. I'm not in favor of bots in general, but I am happy to be on this one if this is the way the big guys play this game. I feel logic is not a good way to approach steemit in general and will send you down the wrong path time and again.
The "big guys" you speak of, are the ones who will unfortunately kill this platform if things don't change... and soon too.
