He did made an account and corroborated it with his Twitter sometime ago (@aantonop), looks like he haven't even claimed his post rewards.

It's kinda sad as he is currently funding his endeavour with Patreon, which really  is feature on Steem using autovote the way banking is a feature on Bitcoin.

People shouldn't say "you can make money on Steem" anymore the same way they shouldn't say "Bitcoin will make you rich". That really isn't the point. 

The point of Steem is a decentralized (we gotta fix that tho) p2p censorship resistant social network that allows us to reward content we like. I've received enough "your post has been taken down" emails to know how important censorship resistance is. It's more underrated that most people think.

I think this bear market is a good thing. It allows good project to be separated from the fraud. This is also the time for developers to prove themselves with updates and better apps/dapps.
