I Am Sorry for My Last Post!

in story •  7 years ago 

So, @lexiconical does your research for you and writes your posts?

...I had a list of topics I was prepared to discuss for the video based on what I already knew and paid no attention to anything else.

Is it common for you to not pay attention to the information you're posting in your name to your many followers across social media? Is it common for you to make entrepreneurial decisions without researching the product/service you want to sell? Is it common for you to sell such products/services to unsuspecting followers or random people who aren't aware of the free/cheaper alternatives?

I'm sorry, but I have a hard time believing that you simply didn't read your own post and knew nothing about @anonsteem prior to yesterday. Why didn't @lexiconical point that out to you?

And I especially don't believe that this was just an innocent "mistake" when you're already selling readily available information about how to become a witness for Steem...for $180.

Given what I know about your history here and on other platforms before joining Steemit, I don't think I can believe a single word that you say. It's a pattern of behavior that appears to be continuing uninterrupted. And quite frankly - it disgusts me that you can still profit from it so easily...which is why you'll keep doing it.

"So, @lexiconical does your research for you and writes your posts?"

I have only ever worked with Jerry on those three Witness posts. The deal was that I would research and compose the entire proofread article and he would handle the video, posting, and anything else. I assured him at each stage of the draft, from rough / rough 2 / etc / up to final and proofread. I guess he trusted me there.

Jerry did state this in each article, but honestly, I don't think too many people saw it.

"Is it common for you to not pay attention to the information you're posting in your name to your many followers across social media"

Jerry and I met once, briefly, at his Steemit meetup. I believe he took a bit of a leap of faith with me after I impressed him, as he did not feel the need to check all my work. Whether that is to any person's particular journalism standard is obviously up for debate, but I will engage in the conceit of ego here and say I don't think Jerry would have posted my work with such "unediting faith" had he not had a chance to vet me for crazy in person.

"Why didn't @lexiconical point that out to you?"

I was never asked before he posted this post. Jerry doesn't consult me for anything other than Witness posts so far.

We did not go over each witness post individually. I don't have Jerry's phone number or even email, or any way to contact him except Discord.

I submitted them in a living document containing all (42 so far) Witness reports. Jerry takes the next set when he has the time to make a video to go with them and posts it.

If you feel this did not sufficiently answer your question, please elaborate and I will try to do the same. I am happy to provide full transparency as much as I know.

Furthermore...

"Is it common for you to not pay attention to the information you're posting in your name to your many followers across social media?"

I would argue that this is the default state of most social media posters in existence. I think we would all agree on this point, although Jerry is not a typical social media user.

We (should) have different standards for witnesses or careers/businesses designed to make a profit.

However, I think this is worth noting as a not-impossible explanation.

for real, right

Just started digging into this situation with Jerry today and, without taking sides, can say that @ats-david is the only person making sense in this conversation. @jerrybanfield Dude...you tried. Let's move on.

Sir i need your upvote

I wrote an article a couple of weeks ago about some of the Steemit Etiquette I had learnt in the 3 months I've been here, in particular regarding the self upvoting, but yeah, there are ways to ask for upvotes, like in a good post. But I think the "Sir I need your upvote" might be a simple troll. To be ignored. Though good to note the person in case they begin to abuse and spam upvote requests.

I don't see anything wrong with someone ghost writing your content and then you acting as a presenter, I think people are being a little overzealous, there is no need to attack you on this level...
