Random Thought + Giveaway

in #life6 years ago

Random Thought -- "The Whale Wars" coming to a blog near you .... Yesterday some guy threatened me with down votes for using a bot because he did not like the owner. How do you feel about other people being able to "down vote" your earnings and not just your content on steemit? On a personal level it is why I have not bought a large chunk of steem.

I am doing daily giveaways.

To enter leave a brief comment with why you should get picked or what your plans for the money are and I will select 2 posts for a full up vote. (usually the same day)

My vote is currently worth .60 (ish)

I plan on raising my vote value over time.

Best Regards,

Hey Mr. @dreamryder007 I'm back this morning with a cup of coffee in my hands, as I commented a few days before, who perseveres wins. I dont like these users in steemit just to damage the good work of others, feel good with you because you are doing a great job.

Steemit is so damn good it makes people feel more confident.. First time i upload a dancing video just to try to win some SBD

And lets keep the days earning SBD to repair the cart-O/

Cheers o/

Congratulation you win.

Thank you amigo :)

Poeh, today's random thought is quite heavy. I actually think there are quite some things on Steemit that could be improved. And I'm not really a fan of paid upvote bots. As they take away a lot of upvotes, which can't be used for upvoting quality content. Also there seems to be a rat race where the bot owners think that the users, like you, should not make large profits when buying upvotes. I don't understand the reason behind that. I mean are the bot owners allows to make a nice or even high profit, while the buyers are not allowed? Yes this is a rhetorical question. You should be able to make profit by using these bots.

Down voting because he doesn't like the bot owner is really sad. You are no party in his fight. But in the end you are the one that loses. 😥

Congratulations you win.

Bots are tricky, I wish they were not part of platform... But it’s up to the users to decide what they do with this platform, I use them too...

If I win one of the daily upvotes, it will go into growing kn this platform. My aim is to share my art here, and to hopefully eventually be able to create some extra income (which is tricky for artists)

Thanks Dream, very much appreciated! I think this is an excellent initiative to get in touch with users and pay it forward ✊🏽

Wow amazing post. I appreciate your decision to rise your vote power more. Thanks

Yeah,,, amazing .

But, are you sure ?

Hello,
First off I would like to say thank you for trying to support the little guys in this space like myself. I believe bots are good and bad thing. Why they are good is because it can really help get the new users like me started to generate a following. Bad because this space is really manipulated and some of the really good content gets pushed down because someone is able to spend more on bots. I don't believe there is happy medium.

I think there are some whales who are very polite with their power, and others use it and involve themselves in taking down a whale who is abusing their power. With these situations it's hard to determine who is the good guy and who is the bad one.

Good day! I still have the same goal and i wont get tired of participating everyday. If I win Ill treat my mom on Mothers day because she deserves a treat. Thanks again @dreamryder007 for opportunities like this.

Being threatened to get downvote by the whales or bot whales is really crazy. The Whale Wars is really scary. I already tasted a downvoted by 13 people in just one of my comment exposing them for downvoting one dolphin who is trying to give a contest. I don't know for a reason, maybe they have an envy against him.

Anyway, my plan for the money or reward is to use it for my next contest. My last contest is (MAKE A CAPTION OF THIS) and I'm planning to raised my reward so that I can be a minnow helper even though I'm still a minnow.

My reward last time is just 1SBD divided by 3 persons, and I need to have at least 3 SBD so I can give them 1SBD each winner.

I think this downvoting of a thing need to be reviewed, people have been abusing it.
Their some new users that do not know do and don't of steemit just yet, instead of the already established ones to guide them on how to go about it, they flag and downvote them in return. Sorry about that, stay true to your dream, I know you would be vindicated.

My plan for the upvote

If I am upvoted by you, I will use it to get food items for my neighbor, I have been supporting the family for sometimes now.

Here is the picture of what I got for them the last time out.

Oh man, I was just checking how much I need to make my vote worth 1 penny. Your upvote would put me over the top...

  • That's why you should upvote me.
    • So when I do my 10 upvotes a day, they would be getting a full penny! 😎
