Title; What is STEEM Park?
Muy interesante, gracias por la información, feliz dia

Wonder if they regret pushing Steemit now that we have Hive.
These guys, I always have trouble taking them seriously. They generate insane amounts of income for projects out of thin air, and it gets distributed their various architectural firms who work together. They create these beautiful PR pieces. They have been creating projects like this in all of their social media forms to help their network of professionals profit from one another in ways that also give back, like a charity.
I guess they are doing good things, but sometimes I can't stomach their methods. Those plants will die in a few months unless someone pays to replace them and water them. The geometric benches will fall apart (or hurt someone) when kids jump on them because they are hollow. Graffiti will cover the signs. Outside of Brooklyn, they could have bought an entire park and made a self-sustaining green space.
When they make a commemorative plaque for the park, I think it is better when it is just that. Having the sponsors get an equally big plaque cheapens it, and shows they only cared so far as they can continue to get profit by including links to their business investment system.
People see a nice display promoting Steemit in Brooklyn. I guess public advertising was the whole point.
I think you make some valid points. It was very much a PR piece, and I don't know if they finished any of the Community projects they allude to in the mid portion of the video. I agree the biggest goal was promoting Steem.
