"He has over 2 years of experience working directly with the Splinterlands team to manage and grow social media accounts,"

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the game's reputation on its ass with nearly everyone having fled? Now while I'm not trying to say that's his fault, it is though fair to say that there would appear to be no evidence from the game's social media presence that he has done enough to deserve this frankly fantastic salary to live it up while living in Thailand.  Can we see his actual qualifications, work history and everything else? Also how does hiring a friend and occasional colleague of the team amount to the Dao being independent from Splinterlands?

It's a no for me.
