RE: Has Apple Lost Its Way?
@thecryptofiend great post as always!
I second the motion on these ..
He is one of the people who has helped to give me the reputation and position that I have - I respect his judgement and I know he his doing it for the right reasons.
We don't always agree but I think we both want what is best from the platform.
He is not perfect (none of us are) but he spends a hell of a lot of time supporting the platform and looking out for other users.
I wanted to write it down on my first comment about it on the other post but I'd rather do it here.. at least you said it first. I don't know him well and we also didn't agree in many ways before but if there's one thing I'm sure of he's doing what he's doing for what he thinks could be good and may work for the community. It may work or not work as he intent to but he intends it to be for the good of the community.
If people think smooth is doing something wrong I suggest that they approach him in the chat or reason out with him because if there's one thing I experienced with that guy he's human, too as long as there's no name calling or bashing nor drama - he's very easy to talk to.
He and a number of other whales (I won't list them because I am sure to leave someone out) - were the ones who supported my work when I was about to give up out of frustration.
This was when a handful of people would get their work upvoted and everybody else would get ignored.
Exactly and he is very approachable. I don't like the bitching and moaning behind people's backs - I can sympathise with people getting frustrated but talking to people can help resolve these things (not always but quite often it does).
If we all commit to expanding and promoting Steem/Steemit then this issue will become less and less of a problem.
