This writing long tactic as a response can be a tactic to try to overpower the conversation and not take into consideration a response. It's not very respectful.
That you can't succeed without being on trending page is so wrong. Hard work always pays off. I never seen someone that has truly worked hard not get rewarded for it.
Build real connections with other people and they will give you value. Since everyone loves a personal genuine response.
And yes you can't have discussions when people make 20 points in 1 comment it comes across as not having an understanding in how humans talk to eachother. It's a way of using power games. If we take some more time to try to understand eachother then we see that we all mostly have similar views in life.
This tactic of always having to be on trending page is too much leech it also dehumanise us that we only care about money in life and not just regular talk and connections. It's a bit needy. I enjoyed the first start of this blog post but then it was like too many words was used without any real care behind it.
I'm aware of these tricks. I sometimes take these long-drawn-out rambling responses as a sign of someone who isn't quite sure of themselves. That all depends on the situation though. I'll keep what I think about it to myself now.
I agree with all that. Teamwork, business partners; things like that exist in the real world. Good customer service as well. The basics. Buying the top slot only goes so far. People drive past billboards everyday. Most don't even go to those places being advertised and if they do, they expect a tight ship.

Thanks for your response(s). Your clarity and brevity are appreciated. Basically, if it wasn't for your reply, I would have (possibly) bought into this idea. Whether or not through his newsletter, I can't say. However, I definitely would have walked away from the post with a total misunderstanding of how to post on steemit and a total misunderstanding of how the community can work together on here. Just being honest, this shit is confusing to me. So thanks again and I encourage you to keep looking out for people, especially noobs like myself.

No worries, that guy is new and hes a market shitbag, with the facebook spammers and scammers, it's a step up, we are getting more and more mainstream :D
plus he has a point :D yeah this is by no means a conversation, it's more like endless sewage, but there are great points:
it's not a distributed system, just the witness nodes are,
stake is highly centralised that skews the distribution,
it's a bit of a circle-jerk since the start of it,
arguments have been brought up and dismantled,
While we are going on like this I can list for another half an hour, but it's pointless, the facts are there are truths from both sides of the argument, I'm 80% with @nonameslefttouse but that doesn't disprove the other facts, not to mention the reality of the social medias, I think @yallapapi just hasn't seen the potential, or has seen a different potential than what others have, he "believes" this place needs to be like the others, I think I already left once because it was becoming like them. But he still raises great points and he's more honest in his response at least...
The fun part is we are all learning, changing and so on, I gotta say I agree with both, they just come from different perspectives.
