RE: TSP: Interview w/SteemPress Co-Founder @fredrikaa

I notice that all the bidbots and former-bidbots-turned-manual-upvoters are piling their 100% upvotes onto all these types of insider posts. It's easy money for them (they get half their upvote value in a week), so it makes sense. And thanks to HF21, all posts that don't make at least $10 (like all of mine, and 99% of the rest of the users) get pillaged to pump up these insider posts even more. These posts can't lose, and neither can people who upvote them. Is this how the curation system is supposed to work? Everybody just upvotes the insiders posts, for max profits? Is that finding unique hidden original content gems? Or is that just insider cronyism?
Don't bother answering me, or even considering my question. Just write me off as jealous or something, so you don't have to face the reality that there's no real curation possible on the Steem blockchain anymore.
It's broken, but the people who could fix it are making too much money this way, so it'll never be fixed.
THAT is why Steemit is dead, unique users per day is falling every month, and STEEM just fell even further, now under 13 cents.

... and STEEM just fell even further, now under 13 cents.

And BTC is $8k+. Though not meant as financial advice, it seems like a great time to buy. 😎

... all these types of insider posts.

P.S. In case you miss(ed) it.
