RE: Why I won't support Jerry Banfield anymore - JerryCoin
He has been kicked off almost every platform he has been on.
He has said he doesn't even write his own posts. Who knows who is pulling the strings to run the Jerry puppet.
He is constantly coming up with ideas that are not only not very well thought out but are very scammy.
He has been orally satisfying himself for 17 years, so long in fact that his back has scars and the back pain in the only reason he stopped.

He believes flagging should be removed from the platform so everyone is free to make money however they want without anyone interfering.

Jerry has been promoting money-making scams on the internet for so many years now I can't believe people still fall for it.
He did do a post a while back explaining that he doesn't write his own posts. What he does is make videos and pays someone to transcribe them then uses that as his post. That technique is very effective for ranking on the first page of Google for a topic. A 15-20 minute video transcribed creates a huge amount of text. Sprinkle it in with a bunch of keywords you want to rank for and do it consistently and before long you're ranking on the top page, especially if it's a fairly new topic like Steemit for example.
He has used this method before to gain traffic and position himself as an expert on money-making opportunities and it does work. The thing is, Steemit is different and better than that, focusing on building real value and communities. His pitch always seems to revolve around getting rich quick and he builds a sales funnel to lure people in, first with free content, then with paid content. It's as old as the internet really.
I'm sure his idea to charge people $50 to sign up to a free site was just another one of his scams to leverage anonsteem to sign people up who may not know about it and pocket the difference. That's just what internet scammers do. But he must have know about anonsteem and talked about it in his video or it would not have been transcribed into his post.
While I personally have nothing against Jerry when I saw him on Steemit and saw how popular he was becoming it did make me a bit sad because I really didn't want that kind of promotion being done about Steem. It just makes it look scammy and we don't need that. Steemit is better than all that noise.
That's why he's never had my vote as a witness. I did try to say hi to him at Steemfest last year but he ran away from me like I was the devil himself when he saw my name tag, Luzcypher! Muahahaha!
Jerry is looking for a way to cash in on new people coming to Steemit. It's just the way he operates. Though he may have a lot of YouTube followers that will come to Steemit because of him being here do we really want those kinds of people gravitating to the platform?
Anyway there is to make money on the internet is going to attract a certain level of scammers, but do we have to help them and fall for their BS? I don't think so. Of course, he believes flagging should be removed so he can't be called out on his scams.
What he calls helping people is really helping himself first. I have helped people create instant accounts on Steemit using AnonSteem more times than I can count, but I do it completely differently than Jerry.
What I do is sign them up with AnonSteem and pay for it myself. Then I make a post about them and direct my followers to their intro post. Once my post pays out I transfer the SBD it earned to their new account. That's helping people. And when they ask me why I would that my answer is always the same, "Because I can and that's how Steemit rolls."
Aside from the cringe things you've shared here (which I'm still processing a week later) I can't disagree in the slightest with you.
I don't understand it, I simply don't... I applauded @pharesim when he voted his conscience and stopped playing politics on this issue.
We can't as stake holders, no matter your wallet size... we can't be so myopic. This is not about today, this is not about next week... this thing we are working for is for years to come.
I had to process this too and you inspired a post out me about it you can read here:
How To Charge $50 To Help People Get A Free Steemit Account --- by @luzcypher
Hahaha Senpai, a minute after you posted I was already reading!!
;)
This post needs to sit aside his on the trending tab. Great work and I couldn't have said it better myself.
Except, no one probably noticed Jerry hasn't been on trending for a while, because he was in the top 20 witnesses.
Now he's dropped out of the Top20 again he's back.
He has a method to his madness, it's just a numbers game to him.
wait I have one more lol :)
I can't understand that people fall for his shit
Most new people here on steemit, they don't know something like this, especially for someone that just enter the cryptoworld, so they're easy to manipulated by someone like jerry.
They thought a post with $1k++ rewards and long words is a good post, so they will follow advices from someone who created that post because they want to get big rewards too.
It's like phishing attempts, make ridiculous claims to sell ebooks or online courses, and the more retardedly scammy they sound the better, that way you filter out any people with enough intelligence to stay the fuck away.
I promise you he is not powered by the Tooth Fairy's dust.
People fall for Nigerian scams, why not his too :-)
I think from someone who hasn't been around as long he seems like a go getter and if they don't know that much about crypto investments or the STEEM platform he is able to seem harmless enough to pull enough mental strings for people to think that he is leading the way to profitability for them.
I looked in @jerrybanfields wallet to see who sent him money for that SMT and was embarrassed to see some of the usernames in there.
I hope you can get into a top 20 Witness position but a lot of what goes on here doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
100% agreed dude.
I just learned something today that I never wanted or needed to know. Ever.
Damn you freedom of expression! Is it too late to eat that blue pill?
beats me, always had a weary air around him, I can't stand fake positivity,
out of him I got 2 things, I will paraphrase in my words:
If your conscious is killing you, do positive gratitude in the morning and thank everyone and anything that you are alive ....
If you want to live through the crypto dip, buy bot upvotes and pat yourself on the back, preferable, use his bot...
I don't know how he got there and who actually saw something beneficial, I mean hype is nice, but it's as nice as there are stupid people around to buy it.... also called suckers ....
This. comedy. is. deplorable.
It isn’t really comedy.
Here, I improved it slightly.
Because people are stupid.
That's one thing I learned the time I am on steem.
They seem to falm for every trap there is.
Because, well, in real life there is government to protect them.
Here they are on their own and open to... Attacks from quacks and snake oil sellers like Jerrybanfield.
You know best what stupid things users are upvoting. And this will not change. It seems te be in human nature to fall for scams and such.
sigh..
Steemit was actively marketing to populations that are economically disadvantaged and people that have low skills/IQ. Hopefully the South Korean market balances this out
This kind of marketing makes it tough to curate and help people....sigh
So many things wrong with this picture... i do think the solution though is around the corner.
I hope so; I am keeping an eye on developments, that is why I am posting on this kind of article @migcrypto.
tbh i believe that the solution has more to do with abandoning steemit as the dominant social media platform of the STEEM blockchain and using one from of the coming wave of SMTs
That is what I see as well @mlgcrypto, many times sites have tried to pay bloggers, and they have failed. I've always seen our social media site as a test for scalability, documentation, and lighting fast transactions. Steem Inc has one of the best Blockchains out there. I do hope our social media site improves its user interface and develops and sound economic plan with free markets. That's why I came here because I am an artist and I want to sell my paintings and other artwork for cryptocurrency and get out of the mafia banking system.
I forget how long ago but the core team actually announced that they were going to stop focusing on improving steemit the social media platform and instead focus on improving the STEEM ecosystem; improving things such as scalability and modularization. Combine that with the advances that BTS is making and Id honestly say that this is easily the biggest sleeper among the top 100 right now.
Thanks for you
super disappointing that once someone brainwashes their way far enough into the community it is very hard for us as a community to get rid of him. Even with all the hate etc against him now hes still peddling in hordes of money
herd mentality and general disconnection, nobody around here bothers with anything, except the fact they could be making more money .... 70% of people are lazy to even care about anything ...
That's why I wouldn't say there is a community, there might be a subconscious arising from the trending page people seem to be frequenting for some retarded reason, ...
His Autofellatio is probably his "own business" ..
Rest is on point !!
