I doubt he has. I don't know him on a personal level. I came across him years ago on YouTube, as he had a large following even then. I'm guessing Steem (at this point) is not high on his to do list, as he probably added it as a possible additional revenue stream to his already existing ones. Based on his results here so far, I would further surmise he would not have anything positive to say about it being a model for influencers to add to their already existing models.

As to putting a note on his blog, as I said above, I doubt at this point he would want to promote Steem(it). The fact that he is posting from his official website using SteemPress would seem proof enough to me, as that would prove it is coming from his official site (verifiable via SteemWorld per the link I posted in the post).

One should not have to go to another venue (Discord) to appeal sloppy targeting. Steemcleaner is the one who initiated this dynamic, and the burden should rest upon their shoulders to make some effort to verify the truth of their claims (slander in this case) before they initiate such action. They are acting holier than thou against people who actually matter to large groups of people. Because of this, they win my idiot of the week award.
