RE: SteemSummer May 25, 26, 27 near Palm Beach, Florida, USA?
The idea WAS great but hijacking an already established brand to give more power to your event is just disappointing.
It just makes me feel bad because for once I agreed with something you come up with (i dont agree with your bot nor your youtube videos, i dont like your witness approach)and some of the ideas behind the event are cool but there is only one steemfest and it is organized by @roelandp, you know this and still decided to go for it?
Why not making your own brand?
Why not wait until Roeland replied?
So many why's, i guess in a few hours we'll see a post where you explain this behaviour but...
Now after this, sadly all i can say is i wouldn't even think about attending an event organized by you man, this is unacceptable.
I fully agree with all you wrote!
Hijacking the SteemFest name without authorization is a shame!
I do not think one could find any valuable excuse for not waiting @roelandp's answer.
Despite the idea looks great, I see all of this as self-promotion and empowering.
In this post, I counted no less than 19 references to Jerry himself (names, associated websites, ...)
@roelandp has organized 2 amazing Steemfest without ever asking something for himself. He never put the spotlight on him, but on the event and its sponsors, helpers, participants, ...
For this, @roelandp always got my full support, as I clearly demonstrated at the closing dinner of SteemFest 2.
With what Jerry just did, I'm not sure I'd ever do the same thing.

I wish on a platform like Steemit, with its noble values, money didn’t talk so loudly. This in a sense is what we escaped from in other places, real and virtual to try and pursue an ideal experiment, here.
I wish, too, that bots were seriously looked into.
How can content providers or artists like myself, who might have talent but no money, compete with money-hungry, unscrupulous folks who buy votes & upvote themselves, regularly, to the top of trending lists?!
Also, witnesses, who are handsomely rewarded for their efforts, should be looking out for our best interests & not campaigning to make even more money off our backs, by climbing in a higher position.
I know the world is not fair, and I don’t believe in complaining, but I believe in the promise of Steemit and have only been here a few months & hope to stay & grow.
Here’s hoping this is a learning experience & things work out for the better, for all involved,

I suggest deviding bloggers from developers and witnesses. A new interface could do this. Would provide less misunderstandings. And maybe also a seperated bot area.
