Please Fuckin’ Stop Jerry

in #steem8 years ago (edited)

Here is why Steem is attracting a bunch of low quality, scammers, spammers, and idiots.

We have people like Jerry posting this video on YouTube about how easy it is to make money on Steemit. Of course we are going to attract a lot of users who are only here for the $$, without ever caring about posting anything of value to the community.

Users are important but post quality is much more beneficial in the long haul.

Any website can attract half a million people if the poster boy is going on YouTube telling everyone how easy it is to make 100’s of dollars per post.

Stop being a clown 🤡 Jerry!

Steem isn’t one of your self help/how to make money trading crypto scams.

This is a platform that many people are working hard to build. You sound like a late night infomercial.

Stop the shit!

@rawdog and @jerrybanfield, first of all rawdog you make a very valid point about Jerry and the Steemit platform. Jerry is a dear Friend so I am going to stay neutral because I like what you have said here concerning the ads to attract more users. As far as low quality and SPAM posts, yes they will be here but I feel the more mature STEEMIAN will just bypass them. We know the people that are genuine and truly putting out good content.

i came to know about this wonderful community from jerry facebook campaingn.
he told its easy to make money in steemit but its been almost a year and i have made 200$ total which i used for trading and steem power.
thanks to jerry for letting me know about this platform.
but spammers should be controlled. i am with you.
jerry most of user invited are from developing country. where earning is hard. positive videos about quality content and good guide will be helpfull

Thanks for the response. . Yes, you probably had to work very hard to get to $200 and congrats on the user rep of 54! In my opinion, we shouldn't be telling people how easy it is to make $100's of dollars per post when that just isn't true. .
Best of luck to you!

Hello
I like to say few words which will not be on either sides but only on my thoughts.

I found about the steemit platform through @jerrybanfield. For me its not a bad thing to publish it on Facebook. There will always be scammers everywhere. From my view we need to spread the platform in someway. What @jerrybanfield did is not that bad thing. He can also do it much better way where steemit platform will get excellent users. What I'm trying to say is @jerrybanfield could have done better than that to get more quality users who will stay in the platform like me. The way he did it got many into this platform but with scammers. There will be much better way where we can get quality users @jerrybanfield. And for scammers, we can still do a better job to clear out the scammers. @ned in this opportunity I would like to say that we can still get better ways to deal with the scammers. @rawdawg I hope you got my point on this subject.
Thanks 🤙

Amen, Rawdawg keeping it real!

I don't think it's a huge problem, the types of people that are attracted by this don't last long.

As an aside, I've always thought Jerry was some sort of sociopath or serial killer anway. lol

Seriously ask yourself this: "If Jerry Banfield showed up at your door, would you let him in?

Hellz to the no no.

I agree, he doesn't look all that intelligent or even a normal person from all those pictures he is using. Not sure how I will feel about him in real life!

excellent post.

Jerry your doing great
, keep it up! very motivating.
pay no mind to the negative asses, their just jealous because your so successful with Steemit.

Not being negative. . . false advertising is not good.
If you like Jerry that's cool, but setting an expectation of $100's of dollars per post for the average new user is not realistic. . .Hence why the platform gets flooded with garbage and users that don't stay very long.

If Jerry is doing it. there is no reason why other can't also. NO false advertising with Jerry. You are mistaken.

Have you made over a $100 on any of your posts in your first month here?

Look at it this way. Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, Snapchat, all have a ton of spam, useless info, and scams. But they are all worth a ton of money. Why? Because all kinds of people are using those platforms. We will bound to have a lot of spammers as steemit grows. There will always be some bad apples. Do not think its fair to blame it all on Jerry.

Do you feel like the video is an honest reflection of what the average user will experience when joining Steem?

The difference between Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, and Snapchat versus Steemit is that people joined those services because they wanted to without any monetary reward involved. Millions of people use those services for nothing. Those services are worth a ton of money because they found a way to get a shit ton of people to use their technology not because they are paying them to do so. . .Big difference.

add a tag as jerrybanfield.... he checks this tag on steemit.... he would be able to see your post and hopefully stop making stupid videos
