Seems pretty scammy to me, has @ned gotten in on the vote selling game?
1. @ned delegates power to @sweetsssj
2. @sweetsssj charges people for votes (see her transfers)
3. @ned profits?
Is @sweetsssj selling votes with power that was delegated from @ned?

At least we all can see how to make money on steemit.
Wish I was a 🐳
And help all minnows
What a great feeling ?!?!
nice observation @berniesanders, we just hope we all get the blessing equally.
@pouchon, that's including me I want to be a whale to, reality check still a minnow :)
We will all go there, just a matter of time.
Thanks for sharing this @berniesanders. I usually stick to creating posts but admittedly It's harder each day to keep up with all the techniques people are employing to increase revenue.
I do wonder though that my efforts spent simply creating content are becoming less worthwhile as others find new ways to profit much more significantly without focusing on sharing ideas and creating content as much as they used to (this is not a comment about @sweetsssj necessarily but a general one).
It all makes me wonder if Steemit is in a decline as far as focus on original content in favor of a quick buck if concerned. Only time will tell.
Oh BTW, @ned undelegated to @sweetsssj just a few hours back!
Take a look at: https://steemd.com/tx/29bd56a79d4f7843a632f4e4ec8178b42fd7ac31
Oh oh! Trouble in paradise? Looks like no asian kitty for @ned at Steemfest this year!!
Heh Heh Heh!!! Let me say as a Vietnam vet, the only thing gained from Asian Kitty is an STD!
😂😂😂
you are always keeping things interesting, dramatic, and entertaining here bernie... ;)
lol was just looking at how -19 rep was acheived
Interesting, good find @sqamemal! It seems the delegation experiment is over, as he removed delegation from all 6 of the folks he gave big delegations to. We'll see what comes next!
Thank god. I saw a review on cinnamon toast crunch from ramengirl wtf
Cinnamon Toast Crunch? Here's your review....
Doesn't taste like Cinnamon... Doesn't taste like Toast... and if left in milk for too long it doesn't crunch.
Get a box of Golden Grahams and be happier.
Where's my $500? LOL
Repost in two languages and get twice the payout...
lol.. that was hysterical.
So what?
You do know they don't have cinnamon toast crunch in Korea, right?
Obviously you just judged the post by the title, otherwise you would have seen that it was her first time trying the cereal.
Most Koreans have never even heard of this.
$270 dollars is milking it.
lol , milking
I don't see any self voting here.
But even if there was are you trying to say you wouldn't upvote your own posts?
In my eyes, I see @ramengirl providing a service as a bridge between the Kr community and the community as a whole, there's very little communication besides a few posters who are able to translate their work.
Never said she was self voting. Shes milking it because she made TWO posts on the same thing rather than just putting translation in the post (like most do to provide more value). Plus the content in question is just garbage anyways, the only reason many of those people voted her is because she was delegated so much, they want those tasty curation rewards.
@surpassinggoogle still has his, guess he wasn't happy with that 6.
terry doesnt sell votes terry is super amazing <3
surpassing google does great work imo
@berniesanders, I don't believe @sweetsssj sells vote.
As I know, a scammer pretended to be @analisa to scam at steemit.chat. I am sure this is not real @analisa:
For more details, please see this and this.
Also I heard that somebody pretend herself to be @sweetsssj at steemit.chat. I believe that's the reason why somebody sent SBD to her. That's only my guess. You can ask her to verify. You can also check whether @sweetsssj upvoted those posts or not to verify.
Sorry that I don't have first hand information because my steemit.chat account was banned by a reputation 69 spammer, firepower, just because I revealed the fact that he used a comment bot to spam steemit.
I did check few accounts who sent SBD to her, none of them got her upvotes. I tend to believe that it was scammed. Ps- I am not a beneficiary of her vote. Just saying what I see.
Many of them got upvotes!
Check here:
https://steemworld.org/@sweetsssj
For example @husaini got a 75 % upvote and paid 30 STEEM.
I will not pay for her votes and never vote for her either.
I think her articles are actually really good ... but now I know why I never ever got a single upvote from her ... :)
(Sorry for my double post due to the instable site.)
There are so many other great travel articles on the site.....Its time to honour them
Many of them got upvotes!
Check here:
https://steemworld.org/@sweetsssj
For example @husaini got a 75 % upvote and paid 30 STEEM.
ohhh thanks i was trying to find that because on the top of the lists no one got upvote i think it would be down there ?
Check for example only "Outgoing" and only "Votes" of "Yesterday".
(Sorry for my double post due to the instable site.)
Blockchain never lies!
Edit: Looks like @sweetsssj became sour! his account doesn't exist now! Weird huh?
Blockchain doesn't lie, but the UI can lie. Now the UI of steemit.com has problems. I did encounter the same problem a few days ago: could not access some users, for example, ned, dan, etc
she was not the only one

I don't really see what the problem is? I rent out power to Zeartul who then sells votes (his bellyrub vote bot) and I profit. You also profit from a vote bot. What's the big deal?
No big deal, if it is open and transparant
Would be an issue if the 'developers' do it with their 10s of millions (maybe over 100 million) SP
I fail to see how Ned's status as a 'developer' makes it bad for him to do it, but ok for me to do it. This is a decentralized system with fish of different sizes performing actions.
Yeah but it's not really yet decentralized if the same group of users own (at a guess) around half the available SP is it? I don't think the system would be very attractive to users if the majority of upvotes were being sold rather than earned.
Looks like she's just taken advantage though as I see it's been undelegated now.
I think it's got to do with context, ned might have delegated to sweetsssj for promoting good content on steemit, not for a vote bot while you've delegated for profit to a bellyrub and that's exactly how zeartful is using the delegated SP. BTW, ned's undelegated to her.
I'll admit I don't know what kind of agreement they had. We are just speculating. It could be that sweetsssj broke faith by selling votes, in which case, that would be bad, but we don't really know that (?)
Drama, that's the big deal here I guess. personally I don't care what devs do as long as the platform improves. Tho i think @ned should have at least explained what he did and why. naysayers will always find beef no matter what but at least he can appease the curious and everyone else. those are big SP afterall.
I heard people about @jerrybanfield, but he is always open and honest about what he does.. He is even investing in adds to stimulate steemit. and he even made a public excuse for something which was not ok... I expect that this same will come from sweetsssj instead of her nice posts about holidays.. Honesty - trnasparancy is the best
Oh dear me nedgate, are you a detective?
does it sell the voice is a scam sir?
OMG, I look into it... don't like it if this is the case... Did you see my idea and research for witness voting... I think it's unbelievable we don't have a yearly defend system... I hope you agree my proposal and vote for me and after 1 year remove your vote if this cannot be arranged..
30 sbd for a 100% upvote, not the best ROI.
I really like her posts, but I'm in a bit of a conflict here. You can use delegated SP however you'd like but this may not be the best way. This is in no way going to promote good content on steemit.
I want a whale to delegate me!! Come on somebody step up and do it.
Money talks
Yeah I am glad to see @ned undelegating the chinese kids tbh, they were voting each other like crazy
Very interesting Investigation.
I salute your work. I'm pretty much new here but I can assume this must be why your reputation is showing in negative.
Blessings!!🙏
hahahahahaahahahahah
Woo, this is a really serious game of business between whales.
what if @sweetsssj is @ned?
Quite possible. Why not? One team maybe?
But as I know, swetesssj was not the only user who got the delegation.
What I don't like is, that I see people posting pure "crap" and get upvotes and earn much more, than those who put valuable articles and earn nothing or much less.

What is wrong with selling votes? Isn't that pretty much what bots do?
Hmmmmm...What's going on??
At least @ned undelegated his offering to her. Maybe he realized this was a mistake?
Nothing new to me :(
Well spotted @berniesanders i had no idea thanks for the info.
I think that's really disappointing, regardless of how many other people do it. @ned has a whole different kind of revenue stream to benefit from with Steemit and selling votes surely doesn't compare? I would like to think that his presence on this platform would remain fair, subjective and transparent. I see in the comments that he's taken back the Steem power, I hope this was a one time blip in common sense and that any input from his account remains his own in future.
