    I think we're the last ones who should be flagged for not promoting Steem.

    • We send 1,000s of unique visitors to Steemit every week. We send more non-steemians to Steemit than just about anyone else.
    • From our @tangerinetravels, @shenanigator, and @sharingeverybite accounts, we're delegating 30,000 SP free of charge to projects/people who are doing a lot to grow Steem. (@STACH to grow the Nigerian community and @kachinhenry to grow the myanmar community)
    • One of the major reasons that we're growing our YouTube channel is so we can promote Steem. We've grown it from 0 to over 4,300 subscribers in a few months and are currently growing at a rate of over 100 subscribers per day.
    • 2 weeks ago we produced a video promoting Steem that has so far been seen by 4,400 people, most non-steemians. 55% of our audience lives in Mexico, a country which has very little presence on Steem, and could benefit greatly from it.
    • We often wear Steemit gear in our videos.
    • A lot of people are curious about how a young couple can afford to travel, which makes a perfect segue into telling them about Steem.
    • We spend quite a few hours each day working on another Steem project.
    • Visit our YouTube profile, and you'll see that we have a prominent link to Steemit in our banner as well as one in the description of our profile. https://www.youtube.com/c/tangerinetravels

    The flag wasn't related to your previous promotion or not of Steem.

    I thought you were flagging because we weren't promoting Steem in our YouTube description.

    But I was mistaken, as I found out in private messaging with you, you wanted that in the description because that's how you determine whether or not someone else's content is being used. That's understandable.

    We do have links to our Steemit page on our YouTube profile page to prove that it's our channel.

      You're not mistaken.

      For about 800USD in reward it seems like could could slide this in between all of the amazon referral and stuff.

        Putting something in the YouTube description is practically worthless for promotion. It only does any good if you’re putting it there AND talking about it in the video.

        We had an Airbnb link there for a few months and not a single person had signed up. The day we mentioned it in a video, 15 people signed up.

        It was pretty much the same thing with Amazon.

        Almost nobody reads the description unless we tell them to. The only reasons we write all of that stuff in there is for YouTube's and Google's eyes. It ranks our videos higher, gets them shown to more people, and ultimately will give us a huge stage to promote Steem.

        We’re doing so much to promote Steem. Having a link there is meaningless compared to what we’re already doing.

          If it's so meaningless maybe you should consider either improve your description by removing the useless stuff or not dropping your content on the front-page if you can't respond to criticism in a constructive manner.

            If I were new to Steem and the first thing I saw after hearing about it was the trending page of Steemit, I'd be like "Nah, this isn't for me." The front page needs the variety if we want mass adoption.

            As long as promo bots are a thing, we need more excellent content creators pushing their stuff to the top. What we don't need more of is crypto-related stuff, garbage technical analysis, and infighting.

            I feel like I responded to your criticisms in a very reasonable matter. I gave my point of view, gave a couple examples of my experience, and did it without getting mad or calling anyone names.

            I don't agree with you on this point. But feel I disagreed with you in a respectable way.

              Interesting ......

              I'm usually not expecting people to link to Trending but to their blog https://steemit.com/@tangerinetravels
