The service already exists for 6 steem, what are you not getting?
Jerry is using his influence to try and exploit a service that is already on the market at a sixth of the price he is charging. Being a witness, you'd think that a person would be looking out and helping to make steemit a better place, not using it as a self fulfilling cash cow.
This is not capitalism at all, this is self serving bullshit
"not using it as a self fulfilling cash cow."
Given Jerry's earnings, would this really be worth his time?
If he knew about anon steem, than this was a horrible idea that would probably make no money, right? It would also predictably backfire (in public PR), as it has. This doesn't pass the Occam's Razor test for me.
If he didn't know about anon steem, he was just being dumb, not malicious, right?
It reminds me of my mother-in-law. She shames my wife for taking the car to the dealer. But my wife has her reasons. The dealer has a kids area and free wifi. The dealer has a precise labor schedule for the make/model. The dealer usually has OEM parts on hand or a quick way to get them if they don't.
Given all that, my mother-in-law always says, "Didn't you know that the dealer always charges three times as much?" I guess the dealer also should make sure they tell you how much you could have saved by using their competitor.
Yeah, this would look a lot less dumb in retrospect if Jerry had managed to get free wi-fi and a McDonald's Playplace into the deal somehow.
He made it clear that he was aware of @anonsteem in a post he wrote in september, which apparently you did the research for. So either he didn't read the post before posting it, or is just straight up lying. As a witness I would hope that person is trying to make steemit a better place, I have strong doubts that jerry actually hows any interest in seeing steemit succeed besides his own monetary gains. That's the beautiful thing about the blockchain, it doesn't lie.
