Apparently there are ways you can do something about it. It's called freeze the blockchain! All you got to do is find that unexpected action that will cause the blockchain to shut down entirely in seven days after you do it. If the blockchain is frozen, no one can do anything. A small price to pay for preventing others from gaming the system.
Okay, I know what you're thinking. You'd rather take a less "drastic" approach. Well, boy do I have the deal for you!
You've heard of the old adage, "If you can't beat them, join them." That's right. You too can game the system in every way possible, but, instead of it being just for you (don't worry, you'll still profit silly), you'll be doing it for the "community." You'll be the white hat to those horrible, selfish black hats.
See, it doesn't matter what you do, it's why you do it! As long as your reason is as pure as the white driven snow, it's okay!
100 upvote bots? No problem. You're doing the platform good sucking in all that SP and sending it out to folks who always post "quality content."
Rage against trash on trending?
No problem! Post an image without any context and vote it up with your own accounts, plus seven bid bots and watch it trend! Read all the accolades you'll get in the comment section because your bad actions are well intended, and really, all you're doing is taking the ill gotten rewards of others and redistributing it to someone far more deserving—you! If you don't reward yourself, who will? Besides, who knows best how much you deserve it? You do, of course! So, get out there and start spamming so you can save the STEEM platform!
Ha ha ha, that was so great! At first I thought you really had a plan where we'd scam the blockchain and give to the community. It took me a second, but then I caught on.
That's some great stuff, man. I think you could put it in a post and get a lot of votes, I mean flags. Heh. Maybe a reason not to make a post. ;)
Love it! :D
Some days, man, there's no stopping it. It just spews forth in all its technicolor glory.
As it was coming out, I thought, Hmmm. This is kind of good. A little over the top, but hey, that's what all the kids are into these days. Maybe I should save this for a post. Type type type. Okay, I'll just keep going and then make a post out of it, too. Type type type. Hunh. You know, if anyone actually saw this, they could probably figure out who I was referencing or alluding to (which I guess is probably more than one) and my post would be flagged into oblivion after earning $0.75. Type type type. Better to leave it here as a comment on a soon to be two-day old post where no one else will ever see it and only No Name and me can appreciate it. Type type type Until it's dug up months later by a newbie searching for "How to kill it on Steemit!" Type type type Shrug. Oh, well.
Ha ha, another great comment! You should get awards or something for your comments. They're some of the funniest things I've read on here. :)
That would be great if there were awards for such things. Maybe that's what we do. We go around awarding people for the best comments. We could have different categories and we could have people nominate other people to earn a finders fee and then we could grow into a massive Megalodon of an account and take over Steemit. I think that's what you were expecting earlier, right? :)
Yep, that's the new plan. You're in charge of leading it. I'll follow your lead and we'll build that mega account.
