Agree with you. I found this post by coincidence, and when I was looking at the payout, I was curious about what a great post it is that it deserved such support. Then I find out that this post is absolutely about nothing and that it has the whole payout only thanks to bots. I don't like Steemit more and more thanks to that. Evidently, honest people don't stand a chance... Getting to the top with the help of the bots is pretty easy, and it is disgusting... Someone should end this :)
These people take readers from us... Nobody reads our shit-rated posts because these people are taking all attention... However, I'm not interested in having these stupid blind sheep as my followers :)
If you are under the illusion that the world is a meritocracy, you will be disappointed.
I'm already disappointed. Steemit is not a world but a platform, and it can always be reduced or changed to better.
...Even though, people would have learned to break these restrictions, so we'll be in the same position again... Well, you're probably right, but I won't change my attitude.
Same what Iam thinking
You are absolutely right. The richer people can just pump money into upvote bots and then the minnows all want to jump on the bandwagon so they give legit votes.... and the cycle continues.
Thanks for the support. If someone use one bot, well I don't care, but 5 or how many at once? That's disgusting. And now she is flagging me with other bot... :D But I do it for greater good.
True I feel sad. I earn cents. Just because I dont have money to pay bots I cant earn a decent sbd :(
When a person is honest, success doesn't come immediately. It's a long run if you're not a full-time artist, youtuber, or something like that. For a normal person who doesn't excel in anything, it's a little frustrating but don't give up :)
Find out what best suits you, which your posts had the biggest success and keep going.
At first, I used bots as well. In particular, @randowhale and @minnowbooster to have my posts at least a dollar and I moved somewhere. Then I joined @qurator, and for every post, I have about a dollar (per day), so now I don't use bots. However, until yesterday I didn't know how enormous votes you can get from them.
That's why this post makes me upset - she used multiple bots. But after I exchanged a few opinions with her, she seems to be innocent. She thought that she is helping her people to get a bigger curation rewards, but this is not how it works. Larger payout means less curation reward for minnows. We will see what further development will be in her work.
Read my blog "YOU BELONG HERE, RUN YOUR OWN RACE"
Steem ON!
me too i agree with her 100%
Thanks for the support.
Yeah and a few flags came, classic... :D
flags, and apologies - pulls injured face, 'i widn't know' ;-)
Don't be mistaken. I don't care about those flags. They did me nothing. Only one came from her. I just don't understand one 7 days old account, who started flagging with her and flagged all my posts and comments with some upvotes despite that they have nothing to do with this conflict.
I understand. It is most likely an organized collaboration. I have seen similar actions elsewhere. Use of $bots ought to be shunned totally. I fear there will be more sorts of abuse on the horizon with respect to content itself. For the moment, the pool is large anough for abusers to thrive by bidding bots and knee crushers (the ones who flag opposition), but eventually, one might see a sort of content which is like click bait. It will start with 'selfies'. Enjoy and take care.
@purepinay post has something read it again...
she has a lot of followers mostly newbies because she give it back to them 99.9 % of her votes.
Someone out there will read your post if you reach, interact with them just like what @purepinay is doing.
Those upvotes are all she (materially) give them.
Those posts, pumped by bots, are useless for all newbies because they won't see a cent of their curation rewards.
When she's so perfect why she has to use the bots (and multiple at a time)? Hm? Why the support of those she helped or whatever is not enough for her? She is just another greedy person, open your eyes...
who says she's perfect, this platfrom is not even perfect..
greedy? heroine filipinos?
have a lovely day.
I exchanged some opinions with her, and it seems she just didn't know how curation rewards work. So peace ✌
Perhaps it won't happen again.
Ok good:)
The platform needs a lot of changes and if that happens...the rest will follow.

PEACE.
