RE: Two Ways to Earn With SmartSteem: Do the Smart Thing!

in #steem8 years ago (edited)

I like your project and joined your organization because I don’t have the time for group work or curation. As an artist and novice writer I spend most of my time in my studio off the net. The rest of my time on Steemit is spent supporting minnows who comment on my blog.

I have been on Steemit producing original quality content for 1.8 years and support projects through delegation and selling my upvotes that support quality content app developers and minnows. I don’t understand why I received a one star rating. I would post this somewhere else but there is no link for chat or Discord.

Hey lovely lady. Sadly the fact that you didn't even warrant a response solidifies my initial feeling about this ad trending on steemit- not really for the people. A few people at the top maybe. I would like to hear some examples of people who have done well using bots as opposed to the way people like you and I built our accounts. Hard work, consistency, and persistence lol.

I have been exploring this area, since bots are new I am withholding my opinion. I do see a two tier system developing on Steemit, large accounts and small accounts. This troubles me and I want no part in a system that does not have a large population of middle sized accounts.

I've seen the exact same trend, and I agree it's very troubling. And seems directly related to these bots. I read a comment by someone who has been here for months using these bots, he said he's not even breaking even. I checked out his account, and there are posts bringing in fifteen to forty dollars, which tells me that he's spending more than that to get them there. This does not seem particularly beneficial to anyone.
I'm glad I ran into you though, I've always loved your blog.

To be honest - middle tier accounts are developing through services like these. Because they allow everyone to push the boundaries of what is possible, without completely relying on getting noticed by curators.

What do you mean with didn't even warrant a response?

I see that you've responded now, I'm glad.
I have nothing against you personally, I have just seen way too many examples of how bid bots hurt far more than they help. I understand that you're trying to do the best you can with it, but I've seen others with the same goals that were corrupted over time, and not even a lot of time. And as I said above, I have not been shown examples of how any beginner who has taken this route has thrived.

All good - didn't assume that you had anything personally against me :)

I currently don't have much time since I spend most of my time developing, but there are def. quite a few people who have used those services to their advantage.

From the top of my head:

@flauwy and @spiritualmax


The risk of corruption comes with power and I see that in myself - as I'm only human. But I'll continue to stay strong!

I am happy as well, may your account grow @dreemit and support all your dreams my dear friend <3

I'm just kinda following this because if you only get a 1-star rating then that raises some fundamental questions about the underlying algorithm they are using.

I am also reserving judgment here because my idealistic heart believes it should still be possible to do OK for yourself here by simply creating quality content and interacting.

I am always positive until proven wrong, I hope your question is answered @denmmarkguy.

Thank you @reddust. Really appreciate your delegation and support!

Reviewed your Content again and updated your rating to 2 Stars.

Thank you @therealwolf, Steemit is teaching me how to speak up for myself! I wish you success in all your endeavors. I know the middle tier here on Steemit will be slow growing but as in the Western world will also protect the lower tier from poverty and disease and make the upper tiers wealthy. We are dangerous though, the larger our numbers the harder it is for corrupt systems to flourish.
