Relax! It's just the upvote button without your Steem Power delegated to an upvote bot that preys on minnows.

You'll live...
So will these for-profit bots...
So will your investment...
Otherwise, Steemit will not...
But, but, delegating t-tt-to an upvote bot (centralized bank) is much more profitable!!

Just upvote and help others this is what steemit is all about
I can't understand why people delegate ALL of their Steem Power. I enjoy Steemit a lot more when I control my SP. Heck that's the reason I leased more of it haha.
Delegating is ok if it's to help minnows or good Steemians grow, and if you want to charge a fee for it as a lease, that's not too bad (which in turn helps people like you as you mentioned).
If it's strictly to bots to focus on making passive returns, while continuing to blow and interact without the desire/means to reward anyone, that's what really irks me most.
And that's what most of them are doing. But like you said if you're going to do it then delegate it all and log off. Don't keep trying to squeeze more juice out by posting for upvotes and not even interacting with your audience. BTW just curious, would you ever be open to leasing your SP to a minnow?
I'm still a moderate minnow myself, but yes, I've considered experimenting with it. I've had my bouts where I've considered going offline on Steemit because of the dynamics, but then I don't want to give up on building this for the future (hopefully) and get sucked back in. If I did that, I'd definitely lease and/or delegate to some good causes so my SP isn't wasted. My daily fitness blog is what keeps me hanging on for now.
This is so freakin' funny!!! You always give me a laugh.
There is political capitol in manual curation. Especially for newer users.
Gotta create relationships, vote selling does not do that.
Yes there is! P.S. did you notice you received a $5 giveaway from @coruscate because I nominated you as an awesome curator?!!!
Keep up the relationships, friend.
p.s. @sexymatty, you were my next pick, but I could only pick one. So just know I think you're awesome.
I remember the nomination but I wasn't aware of the award. That's a really big deal. Thank you again for the appreciation. And right back at you as an awesome curator!
Here's the link, if you want to see where your name was mentioned. It's kind of cool to get exposure like that. I sure hope you got some followers out of it. She ended up doubling the rewards and giving sbd to the nominators too, so I guess I got something out of the deal as well!
I went to the post. How cool. I will follow @coruscate as well.
She's my favorite follow. I really like what she's doing on here. She'll do well.
I agree.Hahaha. The memes, love them.
Very funny :D
