After looking more closely at that post my opinion of him is further reduced.
Care to enlighten what you see which I don't
I have no fucking idea what you have against the guy. He tried to launch a viral marketing campaign and wanted to reach a measily 500 supported. He was only able to get 30 with 142 upvotes on his first blog post about it.
Then after waiting a while and only reaching 60, he made another blog post and expressed his frustration and he also pondered if maybe Steemians have some disincentive to promote to new signups significantly.
Of course if he had studied the active users, he would realize he is asking for on the order of 3 - 5% response rate, but that isn't entirely unreasonable unless we assume most are Sybil accounts and in that case we really have a small circle-jerk thus far then.
To tell if this a crypto-circle jerk or not, look at the number of women's articles being posted--this should also indicate how many women are staying--does the front page look like cosmo, a tech magazine, facebook, or a news feed? To me it looks like a little bit of everything.
I wish you could tell me how many women. Haven't you ever seen the Hollywood sets where it looks like an entire town until you walk behind and it was only a facade. Whales paying females. So if we have 50 females who've been paid $1000, so not surprising they are posting.
