I never said anonymous accounts didn't have their place on Steemit in fact I explicitly mentioned anonymous accounts can bring value to the platform. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
Sure anonymous account can bring a lot of value to Steemit but clearly the posts mentioned above haven't brought much to Steemit.
I've upvoted introduction post from people who haven't verify themselves in the past and it might very well happen in the future but what I think these 2 posts shows is that we should try to be more diligent.
I think one of the biggest problems comes with the definition of anonymous. Just because you don't post pictures or videos of yourself doesn't mean you're anonymous.
I'm not anonymous. I share who I am. I share my passions, my life. I'm a real person.
I assure you, seeing a photo or video of me will not help you get to know me. In fact, it'll likely hinder it.
I'm not anonymous if you take the time to get to know me.
No worries. Thanks for the clarification. I doubt if my wife could identify me from the picture.
Hehe, you seem to have frightened a multitude of anonymous Steemit users. It's comforting to know that you weren't treating them as terror suspects, haha. On a serious note, I'm glad that you agreed with @personz that one's work should stand on its own. Because that's exactly what I had in mind and wanting to convey it to you.
