RE: What do think about Steemit CEO Ned Scott's announcement that over 70% of Steemit Inc. has been laid off due to a lower bottom of the market than was projected?
Where's the two million steem spent on dlive delegation, regained just weeks ago? Even at 30 cents a steem, its still more than my entire real world company has spent in two years on a dozen people full time people or more at times, for a world class product serving massive enterprise clients reliably and profitably here at the end of our second year, and we were never in "beta" publically either. We tested BEFORE we went to production and have released updates every week ever since summer 2017, like clockwork.
But like I have always said, you put amateurs with no experience in charge, and you get the clusterfucks and fiefdoms and cults led by utterly incompetent people that we have here.
Conflating techy knowledge to real world business and experience is an multi crash pile up of ego's , waiting to happen..
Story of my unicorn career, my friend, and my mashup of both is why my career is both one many would dream of, and has ended in executive ownership with a solid and confident exit plan.
So it goes.
and if any more proof of that were needed, go read the @dstors shite sorry white paper.
Hey buddy! No need to flame dstors; which to me is a genuine initiative to add value to steemit. A lot more valuable than your useless panhandling posts for personal causes. I support and have delegated to dstors.
To me its not a genuine initiative, its poor. My opinion, which Im entitled to have, and reinforced by the fact that you back it which I was already aware of. My posts may be useless, but not quite as useless as your reward pool raping forecasts. Now fuck off 'buddy' and keep checking back for the topic of my next useless post.
Little nerdy "Zfuckerberg" looking pimple-pizza-faced twirp!
You think calling someone a fuck face will get you an upvote or a downvote?
3,2,1: Action! Now, go ahead, whine and play the innocent victim and post as to why calling someone a fuckface makes you an innocent by stander underserving of a downvote.
This is why we love you. Said so well.
Now I'm curious of that world class enterprise you were saying...

I can easily be doxxed via google, but I'd rather not make it especially easy for all my haters on the chain to associate my real world company with my work and personality as it's known around here. Suffice it to say it's a software as a service application used by some very large and powerful corporations and is roughly related to IT and HR departments.
Okay cool I respect that.

I wouldn't know...I don't think anyone knows what they do with their money.
No one even knows who worked there or who to be sad for. Is 70%, like 1 people or 70 people?
I feel sorry for those folks who hung their hopes on jobs here though, or quit their jobs for steem, but only a little bit, because it was never a strong proposition to gamble on from the get go.
But it's a little too late for "I told ya so" now, eh?
everyone got spoiled on the way up and delusions of grandeur. yes if you had shares it was sweet, but to think you'd live off the bloggin here, that's crazy
And yet child genius instant millionaires thought they could run a whole company off it and they barely even blog, or curate, or show up, or finish a task, or deliver anything... that works....
I count 10 + Ned in this post https://steemit.com/gathering/@ned/have-you-seen-this-post-yet @5:37. So 70% would imply 7 well paid people. @sircork
Apparently, exceptionally well paid. Or, were, rather. Only just counting the people in the video, is inconclusive, as its not clear where he is speaking, though the name of a "hall" under the whiteboard, implies a college somewhere. So we cant assume those viewers are employees, plus, it appears to be a presentation, not an internal design presentation. (I live that life) and of course, we know there are alleged to be support staff outside dev, in marketing, copyrighting, and so forth.
The point is not to belabor the exact number. It's that no one knows, and thus we have no concept of their scale, or capability to deliver. And as much as I am FIRST to holler steemit IS NOT steem, the sad truth is, they gatekeep, they control the top 20 witnesses and they have centralized the living shit out of the place, and then managed to lead with a genuinely fair level of incompetence.
So, we really are just gambling on a total crap shoot here. No matter how "rah rah" the stalwart, and often naive community is, nor how dedicated the solo underfunded ,undelegated developers are. I cant tell you how many great minds I've seen give up in disgust and leave the ecosystem in the last 20 months, but its a LOT, because quite frankly, the opportunities here get squandered or ignored and the grass is greener elsewhere in systems that at least pretend to be decentralized better.
What in the hell have you done to me?
We went combing through your records and we've decided you need some time a part.
That pun was a cut above the rest.
Ha, wonderful. But I mustache you a question. How do you like my new look? At first, I didn't like it but now it is really growing on me.
It's a hair over the top, in my opinion.
