I have been very supportive of the new marketing team and hopeful for the future. However, after reading this update I have to admit I am a little disappointed for some of the reasons you mentioned.
1:Your observation about it's format was correct. I would let it slide if it was thorough,specific and detail oriented. Which in my opinion it was not.
2: As soon as I saw "just good enough" my heart sank. I am no marketing genius but I don't think that will exactly put confidence in users and investors.
3: Since the first announcement some on Steemit have been pushing the "Now go do our job" meme. At first I thought that was extremely harsh, now I am concerned there may be truth in those words.
I love Steem and Steemit and will be supportive in any way I can going forward, but I have to restate again my disappointment in efforts thus far. Just my opinion.
