Advertising - how you should not do it!
Sorry to outline this but it is quite important. If people / companies should be attracted to advertise on Steemit we should avoid such a spammy pop-up series. I hope this was only a tech bug that is solved soon - maybe only related to the Firefox browser but should be eliminated as we lose (again) potential members of the Steem ecosystem by that.
Firefox prevented this site from opening 30 pop-up windows
Trust is Key
People react in panic often when seeing this as it could be the result of unwanted software or malware, especially Pop-Ups and new tabs that won't go away. My first reaction was to run all security checks I could get hold of. Come on guys, that is not looking very trust-worthy! This blockchain has still a lot people with excellent #marketing skills so I am sure this was just a little minor mistake and the future is bright. I support my clients since 20 years in Marketing & PR and building trust is a key basic element that is mandatory.
