Well, I go by the actual meaning of the word. That's one, Two: harm was done. Not physical but it was still done. Do you have any idea how many giveaways are there? I've hosted, created, and sponsored one. I'm a leader in a weekly contest where people write posts and we give the winner 35 SBD along with top 10 prizes. I've had friends who'd use the only 2 SBD or whatever they owe to have a give away. OCD had their own steemfest giveaway. This is not something steemitblog came up with and only one they did it. The only difference is all of the other ones committed to what they said. Finally it's a steemitblog. By official steemit corporate. Steemit community members have spread the word about steemit, took hours to make work on steemit, hell it's been like what 2 weeks since we got together to get steem to net coins. Also I didn't say anything about scamming, don't straw man what I said. I used specific words in their original meaning that applies to the situation. I used lying because saying you're doing something and laying conditions, then getting people to comment and take time out of their lives and have them work against themselves because of what you said. Then doing it differently regardless of the fact that you actually got people to do things for you, in this case commenting, mentioning people, commenting within comments, upvoting, resteeming, that is called a lie. Unless lie means telling the truth in your world.

If you apply this situation to anything in real life you'd see what I mean. If you had a brother and your father called both of you and said that he'd pick one of you and give him 10 dollars and says it's a coin toss and then just gives it to the one wearing the best jeans, you'd see why it's an asshole thing. But yeah, instead of us pointing these things out and why they matter we're called "complainers" by the owner, and now referred to as entitled and "throwing a fit" by you.
