** PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO **
Witnesses Are Steemit Gods
- I look up to all witnesses and because of this I wish to stay neutral on the discussion of the content of his video, I will however happily discuss ways that the video could have made a bigger impact with an appropriate message.
- I am still voting @jerrybanfield for witness and do not have any plans to change that any time soon. I know he is a hot topic of discussion right now but sometimes people need support to change or better themselves and that is what I am here to do on steemit, SUPPORT!
No Community Branding
- This is my opinion and as a founder of the community I feel that seperation of my opinion on matters such as these is mandatory
To @JerryBanfield
- I think you are a brave man for having the nerve to post that video, you shared some deep things, took off your mask, I look upto your courage even if I think the video could have been done better
- Your video stuck with me, congrats that is a feat in its own, I see potential for that subject to make a huge impact on the steemit platform as a whole
- You successfully showed us how big your balls are, I do not question that one bit!
- I use situations like these as learning tools, and I share the things I discover or contemplate with other video creators as encouragement, Thank You for giving me this opportunity!
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!?!?
- Have you had a footage you could not figure out how to use?
- What tricks do you use for making your video creations more interesting?
- Do you agree or disagree with my opinion on how this video could have been better?
If you wish too help, Power please! Anything else will be converted.

I like to think that I have an open mind for comedy but that video he posted seemed more like a cry for help to me. I might not have been getting the underlying message of it so I'm just going to reserve my opinions and try not to think of it any longer.

Cry for help or maybe just bearing his soul, hard to distinguish, but there was an underlying message he started off with about being in a better world, free speech, and being comfortable with yourself. I know this was a controversial video but I had fun making it ;) so I uploaded it, my emphasis is on how he could have made it better with his message combined with exposing the flaw in the system reinforced by doing it via bid bot boosting to top of trending on a comedy post about his past actions related to the underlying message "we need to be comfortable with ourselves and willing to talk about uncomfortable things" to learn from them.

If people have the authority to boost themselves to the top of trending is that not similar to if YouTube censors some yet promotes others based on bias preferences? I have no opinion on his video. But then again I am not a male. The part that confuses me is about boosting ones self to the top of trending.. and the power to do it. I always thought steemit was user driven. I thought if I made it to a top post it was because others put me in that position? Now I feel a little bit YouTubed aka Facebooked =(
Can someone explain how this works to me please? I am newish (3 months on here) and I am still learning. Great video @d00k13 You made many valid points concerning the video. I will say one thing though.. I did not know who he was.. and now I do lol!

He is a witness that used to be in the top 20, as for the vote bots and trending.... it has a been a topic of discussion along with rewards pool rape with whales voting only on themselves like the haijin guy bernie is always after.... basically if you make it into trending organically then you are a very lucky/talented creator or you have earned the favor of not just one whale but a couple of them. Jerry is just one of those said whales with over 100,000 SP then ontop of that he boosted that crap out of his post via bid bots so this situation of him promoting his own content to the top of trending could IMO been better worked to go with the message I think he was trying to convey.

Great video @D00k13. I haven't seen this Jerry Banfield video but after this analysis I would like to see what it is about.

Fair warning @the-puppet-patch 45 min long crude rant of self exposure!
I just hate how some people are turning this into something to gossip about, he is a controversial topic right now so this was my attempt to add a bit of education to enlighten those to a message that could have been nailed home.

It’s nsfw you may have to enable those posts. I personally suggest everyone watch it before passing any judgment. It has that beautiful train wreck effect, just can’t look away.

I agree that Jerry should have edited the video to try and get his message accross in a better way. I joined around the same time as he did and in those early days found his videos very informative but also quite long and self indulgent . Over the year I saw him use all the tools that the code of steem allowed to become a major player and in ways expose all the flaws in the system, shining a light on them for all to see.
Freedom of speach is very important but I think it also means we have to be careful of what we saw an how we say it. I look on his video as the third act of a four act play. Hopefully in the last act we will see us all live happily ever after and steem can grow from it.

You and I have a very similar viewpoint, what is next for our platform? I have always been a prepare for the worst and hope for the best kind of guy but what is the worst I should prepare for?
I have hopes that the fatal flaws in our system can be corrected but the real concern to be I did not touch upon, flagging! The downvote system that is currently in place allows for much abuse in the same way the bid-bots allow for pool rewards rape. I understand the necessity of the flagging system but I have also been a unknowing victim of a flagging war and I had almost given up at that point.
Look at me now? Founder of #OneLoveDTube a community of support, so thank you @haejin and @berniesanders your battle encouraged me to create a community of love in the hopes of educating the masses of how to do well using all the tools available. This video I created is meant to be an example for those wondering how to make impact with what they have at hand.( Temping The Devils Again I Am )
I am doing fairly well on this platform and I hope to keep it that way! I work towards becoming my own version of a Jerry hopefully with a little effort become the more tactful voice of reason. I see two outcomes to his technique of raising awareness and sadly we are seeing the worse of the two, IMO with Jerry's situation.
So here we are, curtains have drawn closed on the third act as you say, the music is shifting to an unfamiliar tone. We are left to wonder is this a story of tragedy or success, what does the last act hold for us? Is it really the last act already? Will our favourite characters survive? What is the moral of this story?
Thanks for stopping by with such an insightful comment! I really like your analogy of being on the final act.... as always....
Stay Strong and Steem On!

I've gotta say, it's fucking disgusting that you want to be @jerrybanfield. The dude literally sucks his own cock and has stretch marks on his back from it.
Did you not see his latest "comedy"? It was deplorable and has since been removed I'm told. @jerrybanfield is a deplorable human being and knowing you support him makes you no better.
P.S. - It's "a lot", "A LOT".

Thank you for the correction.
I have never done that nor do I ever intend to.
I did watch his video and seen imo how it could have had a awesome impact on the trending list problems.
I intend to spread a light on these situations and allow people their own judgements while giving insight, should people follow the rabbit hole progress shall be made.
Appreciate you stopping by a lot 😉, it’s more of an honour imo.

Man, I think it took a lot of courage to weigh in on this topic, and I appreciate your perspective. You seem to do a lot of leading by example and it definitely pushes me out of my comfort zone, which is a good thing, if we intend to grow as people.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you didn't really say you want to be Jerry B, or even be "like" Jerry, but your own version of "A Jerry Banfield". This may be seen as splitting hairs to some, but I took it to mean someone with influence and something of an unfiltered approach to speaking your mind. Except with more tact. And probably, based on your criticism of Jerry, more strategic action.
There is a lot to learn from the people in our community that have experience and power. Not all of it is good, and it's a challenge to figure out how to engage constructively.
One of the things I find really encouraging and healthy about this platform, is that it is a potentially vibrant place to speak your mind. Hopefully we can continue the spirit of meaningful debate, learning what we can from others, and all grow stronger as a community.
I am very much inclined to just not say anything, it would be obviously safer. Since that wouldn't do anybody any good, I thought I should venture out and speak. I appreciate you leading the way, a lot.

You are completely correct.
This was my attempt to engage constructively ;)

I appreciate you watching my back.
Always really good to read your comments, need to get you writing more often ;)
Thanks for venturing out, at least I know you clearly heard my message ;)

This is just my personal opinion, to go along with a personal opinion I left on another post. The difference to which I want to add more is the fact I watched the whole video last night. There was a second there that I thought he was going to go there....he is not totally free yet, there is something else, I am convinced of it. That is for him to tell and it may be quite a Jerry Banfield side we've never seen before, as hard as that might be to comprehend at this time. Laughing in the face of adversity is a survival skill learned by some of societies most traumatized individuals.

Yeah my post is all about how he could have made it better, nothing to do with Jerry or criticism of his content of the post at all other then how I though he could have made a huge impact with the post being received better.
