This post is highly misleading.

"guerrint" has not only NOT cashed out, she is actively curating. I expect that she is carefully considering and preparing her next post.

It is posters like "positive", posting many times a DAY with repetitious negativity and bile, that are trying to cash out at the expense of the overall ecosystem. He has so stated and is advising others to do the same.

From @guerrint 's post she said:

Thanks everyone for your support, especially @ned and @dantheman!!! I'm going to use this success to do bigger and better things for Steemit! I think it's important for successful Steemers to reinvest into making the Steemit community grow... Just you wait and see what I have planned for my next videos! <3

Finally some intellectual honesty!

This is the stupidest thing I've ever read. Even the devs are cashing out: https://steemit.com/@steemit/transfers

Do you understand the ecosystem better than the devs?

Devs are paying to hire a bigger team and bring more features. That is different than cashing out. We are still investing heavily.

Fair enough. Well, I've never liquidated my SP so I don't see how someone could honestly say I'm not invested.

What I meant was there is no sign she is using the platform. I'll make it clear.

I actually sent over you-tubers to her channel that came to my channel thinking I made her video..from my article. She is definitely active and much respect to her for banging her 1st makeup tutorial on here!!!! @guerrint

I see now that you are trying to be kind.

I have been in the crypto world for about 4 years and have witnessed more scams than you can imagine.

If we were in the fiat world, I wouldn't be so cynical, but we're not.

I recommend you read reddit.com/r/buttcoin for insight.

People in this space are not to be trusted. There's a reason for regulation in the fiat world. I hope you can at least consider my point.

Whatever. Her videos didn't bring traffic, and she didn't make repeat make-up videos. Full stop.

Here you go:

Steemit in the Streets! Tara gets interviews and reactions from people who've never seen Steemit!

Are you going to man-up and apologize to her and to the steemit community?

Yep.

She hasn't withdrawn anything

https://steemit.com/@guerrint/transfers

Didn't say she did, but I'll make it clear.

Fair enough, I think you've made some pretty good observations in articles so far.

I must admit, I am finding a lot of rubbish content on here, so I try to use the filter and search for words that interest me like Photography. There are a lot of great posters on here and its a shame that their content can end up getting missed because of make up tutorials, drugs and info on reality TV shows.

I have been following @positive closely this week and I can personally say that he is leading one of the strongest campaigns towards curation and valuable content that I've seen around. Just check #doyourpart. I know that some messages are rough around the edges but sometimes a firmer nudge needs to be given to wake people up from the state of acceptance we are.

Something's got to change with Steemit.
What exactly? Judging by how old Steemit is I'd say we're still learning and defining it. But we have to do it right. We have to stop promoting non-value and surface the posts that are worth reading not worth voting for the Payout reward they bring.

Also, successful steemers need to get involved more. Everyone's thinking about (and blaming) the old whales. Not only them. People who recently have had thousands of steem paid in rewards need to get involved more in curation and not dedicate all their time to posting the next 10k article. I'm not saying they should stop posting or that they're not curating but they started just as everyone from the bottom and should know how hard it is to get your stuff noticed. Everyone should do their part in curating, and I think that with larger SP value in the wallet comes a bigger responsibility.

I edited the post to change the @ with the # on the tag above and I also want to take this opportunity to also send a salute to @anonymous who I've seen blazing through posts curation in the past 2-3 hours. I salute you @anonymous!

Excellent post. Once again, it really does mean a lot to be appreciated.

Wish I could upvote this to 100k Dollars :-)

Me too!

She probably trying to figure out how to convert to bitcoins and then into a bank account.

hahaha :)

IKR? Nice problem to have, though.

Its not that hard but be cool if Coinbase accepts Steem.

Well spoken. There are many of us that are thinking the same, but others explained how "you have to give what others want. Not porn, but some soft porn it's not so bad. Look, tits, guys ! Vote !". I hope a more productive dispute over this "quality vs easy writing" issue will bring some reasoning in this community. It should be different than Facebook gags. After all it's more Reddit street here. And I didn't mentioned : Quora.

Good one, @positive.

I could not understand why there are so many interesting things, the weed and cute faces become trend

Ehm I don't really agree with this post.

"took the $30k and decided not to participate in this misogynistic, marijuana fuelled fap-fest. (What I mean is: She no longer bothers to create crap content, but hasn't cashed out yet)"

Especially not with that, her second-last post was 2 weeks ago, her latest one 1 week ago. Its like you expected it to appear today and when it didn't you jumped the gun.
Don't accuse users that quickly, it just brings unneccessary drama. Had she been afk since a week ago, and cashed out the SD without another word, you could start to think about it, but this is way too early to accuse anyone of anything. Doesn't matter if it was 12k or 120$ she received for it.

Other than that good job with #doyourpart so far! Been trying to help out as much as possible but was too lazy to write down the flagged ones.

Fair enough, maybe I jumped the gun a bit.

But I'm still waiting for her amazing videos.

;)

Even women like to be intellectually engaged? How sexist!

Sarcastic. Should I have finished it with /s ?

Ok, so she completely cashed out here liquid earnings? That's actually kinda impressive. Because that means it is possible, even on a large scale. If it weren't, I'd be kinda worried.

I think she's still cashing out. What I meant was it's clear she has no intention to post again.

Ok, so she hasn't cashed out and instead she's actively curating. I think OP might have a touch of confirmation bias. What if she kept posting, but it didn't get the same yield? What if she kept posting and she kept getting whaled. I'm trying to imagine what your headlines would be. I don't think they'd be positive, no matter what.

But I do appreciate your skepticism. I think more caution is warranted. It's good to watch for cartels and collusion and assume the worst. Hopefully, we'll be pleasantly surprised.

Fair enough. I still don't see a reason for the 7 day absence except a disincentive to produce content.

I sure have read your bile.

You come across as a very bitter man who thinks the universe is a cold and nasty place out to get him. I would highly recommend that you seek out therapy.

I would also highly recommend that you read the blogs of the creator of this opportunity called steemit, Dan Larimer, a very intelligent and highly ethical man. He is not out to get you. Nor is the Universe.

Attitude is everything!

I think she's still cashing out. What I meant was it's clear she has no intention to post again.

But if she does, it'll just be seen as confirmation of her greed, right?

Not at all. By only problem is that she hasn't kept creating content as she said she would.
