RE: 4 Months on Steem Performance Review! #7
Oh, FFS...
How about a performance review from users who are not you and who aren't sycophants or otherwise bought?
Some things just can't be quickly swept under the rug, Jerry. If you want to "own your mistakes," then own them. That's not what this post is.
Hi David! It's good to see some healthy debates going on! i'd like to throw my two cents in to the ring. Whilst I do appreciate and support Jerry, I would not describe myself as a sycophant!
What I would like to say is that I wouldn't have come to Steemit if it weren't for Jerry's promotions of Steemit (yes and himself) .. I personally powered up around $10,000 of Steem and also brought in at least 20 new people who also powered up a total of around $20,000 more. What I'm saying is that whilst we pick apart and try to find the truth and real intentions behind Jerry's motivations, that we should keep a level head. For example, Jerry delegated me 1,000 Steem a month ago to help me support the @ecotrain passengers. This was a very kind gesture that doesn't really serve himself at all. Although I have been upvoting most of his posts, there was no suggestion or any kind of requirement to do so.
We all know Jerry is a businessman, and a strong marketer. Whilst you may not agree with some of his choices and tactics, I think it's fair to say that overall Jerry has had a positive impact on the community and the ecosystem and in many ways. If he went too far, then I have a feeling he will take criticism and learn from it, because it is my belief that whilst Jerry does look out for himself very well, he also does have an altruistic nature and good heart.
What i have learned from this is the weakness of auto voting! As a result of this whole fiasco I have turned mine off so i can upvote those posts i really do support.
hope that helps!
Jerry you are making a huge impact on the community. I really respect your giving yet professional nature and ability to translate the functionality of the crypto world through your youtube channel and your posts on Steemit itself. I personally thank you.
I will have to agree with you on this. I myself am going all in (the little I have) for steem :) Jerry has brought lots of value to this community.
he has.. i Just found out today that a friend i was trying to encourage to join Steemit had in fact done so, but without telling me.. he has brought in 40K just by himself.. I think thats about 65K in total Just from me coming to Steemit as a result of Jerry.. and I'm just one person! ;-) Yes i really think we should appreciate the positive impact he has made as we react to this..
when I was telling a friend about steem, I used his browser to manually show him one of my posts. I noticed the autofiller suggesting a JERRY BANFIELD post, meaning he had seen steemit before! Jerry has paved the way, lets keep helping him get better too with our constructive comments and criticisms.
Yes, Indeed!
WoW this is great!
The cat is great too.
Thanx! I thought so :)
I think it would be ok for Jerry to review @lexiconical's posts since @lexiconical wrote them for Jerry to post, because quality control is just good business, but the sad reality is that @lexiconical probably wrote this post too.
For the record, I can confirm I did not write this post. (Nor was I asked to)
@lexiconical
Sorry man, I hate to see your job getting outsourced.
btw are you the actor who plays Jerry in @jerrybanfield Youtube videos too?
Hah, well, I'm thinking this is a joke question right? However, if you have a real question, I'd be happy to give you an honest answer (which you can then choose to believe or not, of course!).
I have worked with Jerry on our series of witness posts after meeting him at his Steemit meet-up briefly. That is all I can take credit for.
It was his idea, and he offered me the full liquid payout with no haggling. He also handled the videos and I think pays for help with that, so ultimately, he received less than half of the reward.
If Jerry will forgive the breach of client confidentiality, you can see his reason in his own words from my Discord log:
"Would you like to collaborate on a post with an in depth look at top witnesses? I think a post showing what each witness does would be powerful because witnesses are doing so much without often much awareness by the community."
If his goal was to make more rewards, he would probably have been better off posting his own content or reposts. Bringing me in and splitting with me was an attempt to service the community and help earn his witness support, if I had to guess, not a money-making plan calculated to be +EV in the short term.
In the long term, I'm sure he hoped it would benefit his witness campaign, but given he has pledged the bulk of his potential block rewards to advertising, it's tough to hold this against him.
I hope this answers any questions you have. Cheers!
It was a joke and I don't think you did anything wrong.
I wrote that because Jerry has insisted that he was writing his own posts and sadly he is constantly proving himself to be the type of person that will screw anybody over to get ahead, @mindhunter is a great example of this.
Also by treating Youtubers like charity cases, by throwing massive votes at them, because their followers don't exist, we are removing rewards that could be used to pay new people for quality content.
I would prefer to see Steemit grow than to watch Jerry throw more Steemians under the bus.
"I wrote that because Jerry has insisted that he was writing his own posts "
I think he's been pretty transparent.
Each witness post had a full paragraph saying that I wrote the posts almost word for word. In other cases, he cites when he uses a transcriptor to help.
"screw anybody over to get ahead, @mindhunter is a great example of this."
He didn't screw anyone. He presented the facts. The facts looked so bad that Mindhunter, who was ALREADY BEING FLAGGED BEFORE JERRY'S POST RELIGIOUSLY, gave up and left.
The community ran him out. Jerry attacked no one.
"Also by treating Youtubers like charity cases, by throwing massive votes at them"
I think for this complaint you need to direct it to the curation formula. People are dog-piling on top authors for their own selfish reasons with auto-voter.
"I would prefer to see Steemit grow than to watch Jerry throw more Steemians under the bus."
Jerry brings in lots of people, theoretically. That's the reason anyone wants him here.
I've already demonstrated that he has not thrown anyone under the bus.
@ats-david - as a newbie here I had tried to stay impartial and make my own judgement on what I could read of his work and his underlying intentions. While I did think he's exaggerated and pretty eccentric, I figured he was bringing traffic to Steemit.
Also I thought perhaps his sign up offer was a little misunderstood so I was ready to be open to that, I think everyone deserves a chance, or even a second chance...but at this point I totally agree.
It's not the right time to do a post about how great you especially after a "sorry" post!

I agree that jerrybanfield can have many sycophants ... sometimes it's even annoying to read them...on one occasion he made a post saying "I no longer knew how to do to help the community" or something like that...and they all told him not to worry, that he was the best ...I replied that I did not think he felt bad and that what he had written was to win upvotes ...but I also said that doing that is perfectly valid ...or is it not that steemit?...the reality that I follow jerry in every post he does ...many post seems good to me and others not...and when I do not like it do not make me hysterical ... it just will not deserve my upvote and ready...but the truth is that with jerrybanfield is with who i learned most from steemit...and it's also the ones I see most done by steemit...and from what you also benefit...or does it not suit you to bring new people to steemit?...
I see at a glance in your blog the topics you write are interesting and I could even follow you every day also because I like the sport that I see that is what you write most...but I also see that you and Jerry write about totally different things...not that you compete with him in the posts...so I honestly believe that this discussion is due more to jealousy or envy ... because it feels pretty hysterical ... little girls fight...
I think that everyone should write what they like to write ... and offer or advise what he want...and if you do not like give your opinion but with "respect" ... that's also steemit ... without getting silly fights where they look bad...live and let live
You wrote the words i had in mind :-)
It's more to do with credibility and honesty.
Also, little boys don't fight? You had a bit of credibility until you decided to demonstrated your sexist bs.
jajajajajjajajajajajja...very good your answer ... something funny to cut the ice is good...I am a boy who will not enter into hysterical discussion with a girl or other boy ... I do not know what you are ...
Tell that to the Bankers!
I just hate people who just write reviews on what they have done so far....hey Jerry no one asked you for that and no one forced you to do all these.
There are thousands of people doing much more than you but we never find them talking so much like you always do.
Learn to be humble man, you already lost respect in front of many, try to build your image again...but not like this.
Stop flattering yourself man, real man don't do this.
How do we know what each of us is contributing if we are all working in the background? When we communicate about what we are doing, then we also help avoid unnecessary working on the same projects and open ourselves up for collaboration. At every job I have been at, I have been required to submit to some kind of performance review on a regular basis. In graduate school, we had to do a portfolio showing what we accomplished. What happens is some of us get triggered on our own insecurities when we see what others are contributing. Once we realize this, we accept that our own contributions are enough. I personally would like @ned and everyone at Steemit to show something like this to help us each understand what they give because it is easy for any critic to say Steemit is not doing enough without seeing what each person is doing!
Yes, and they are people who are actually building useful stuff, not wasting money on Facebook advertising, then pretending that this wasting of money entitles them to act like an ass-clown and try to rip people off for BS "services."
On a side-note...this "pay me for advertising" crap is precisely what drove him out of DASH. He's using the same worn tactics of trying to build up his "value" to the platform - and it happens to be the same tactics that DASH masternode owners rejected and which led to Jerry's selling of his masternode and coming to Steem/Steemit. And now he's trying to do the same thing here. Only this time, there are still idiots willing to reward him for it.
The larger stakeholders here really need to get a clue. This guy isn't a net positive for Steem/Steemit. I would encourage them to read/watch how he is viewed by people not on Steemit and who are not part of his sycophant/paid following.
chop him up chef
Chop him up, and wok fry him too!
Thank you anonymous creator :)
I'm not a jerrybanfield fan to say the least, but you gotta give him props where props are due and he did make this post yesterday saying he was sorry. I didn't read the entire article, but I think he does a good job at owning his mistakes and even rights the wrong.
Not trying to be snarky, but:
"I didn't read the entire article,"
This is a good place to start on a controversial issue.
I know ><, but after this comment I realized the person who's making these comments mind is made up and no matter how much of the article I read I will never change his mind.
If he would have brought up points worth looking into I would have went back and read the entire article.
=D
You should probably read my replies to him on that post you linked.
I don't remember what I posted more than a couple of weeks ago and have probably only made a handful of posts. This guy averages one per day and gets crap because he misses something from one line of a post?
All I'm saying is he messed up, he made a mistake, he apologized for the mistake, and then corrected his mistake. Who gives a shit if his apology is genuine because he's the only one that knows if it is or isn't. Get over it and move on
Oh, thanks for the sage advice. I'll try to remember your amazing tips.
Do you do this for a living? How can I pay you for it?
More than you can afford :D
Oh, I'm sure. Everyone in crypto is super smart, super skilled, and super important. I forgot about that.
Thanks for the reminder! You really are good at this. Wowzers!
We are the most unverifiably qualified demographic around. The "genius ratio" is off the charts.
I really,really want a resteem-comment feature!
If we can dream it, we can do it!
Jerry does so much for the whole community. I think this should not be forgotten. Who else actively promotes steem on other information resources? I like this detailed report
You are right on this! He's everywhere lol
Absolutly
Nice
