Hi, I am the main person behind Strategizer. I have been using Steem/Hive since 2016, a couple of months after it went live. I have also been building, designing and marketing social software since 2006. We all have our own views and certainly not everyone agrees with you here, since we received more upvotes as a result of this notification that was sent out.
The largest, multi billion dollar social networks often bombard users with notifications that cannot be disabled in many cases. In my case, this is the first time in 7 years that I have sent a single mass tag and it is in the name of growing hive, following a multi week process of creating the proposal.
If a single notification bothers you more than no market research ever having been carried out for Hive, then there is nothing we can say to you! 😁
You probably did gain some votes, but you also lost a lot of votes. We already read your proposal the day it was created. We are very involved in all things Hive. We also understand that the overall perception of mass tagging is frowned upon and deemed spam. So, we uphold that value.
We are stating that this specific activity has pushed us to not back your proposal, and argue many others tagged that also read your proposal feel the same.
Ok, no problem, we all have our own views. I personally think that a single notification in a sea of notifications is an extremely petty reason to not support such a project - but so be it.
Never said that was the only reason. More the straw that broke the camel's back.
