01/16/2016 List of Victims
If you are one of my followers Please upvote the above posts at 100%. The point of this is to undo @grumpycat 's destruction as much as possible and help these unsuspecting steemians recoup their losses from extortion tactics.
PLEASE DO NOT just go and spam vote. Please vote at 100% or it's not helpful. You may need to space out votes every 2.5 hours. There's a lot to vote on and I appreciate my followers for helping me with this.
Thanks for the votes everyone. I'm going to be upvoting your posts starting with the oldest-post first to make sure everyone gets a vote.
You can see my steem power here. It's not much, but I will give 100% of it each vote.
I will vote whenever my voting power gets over 91%. You can check my voting power on Steemd
I am saying this to be transparent and let everyone know I am not wasting your votes.
"in a hypocritically"? I will keep checking in on this, good initiative I suppose.. We are minnows swimming in a deep pond
Oh nice. You found a typo. Yeah. Keep checking back. I don't think @grumpycat investigates users or their posts all that much. I know I have seen statistics on junk posts for upvotes. Like a 10 SBD upvote post. My guess is that @grumpycat trolls the steembottracker.com and must be reading some of the posts at least. It must be random though because IMHO I think a lot of (over 50% at least) the @grumpycat downvotes are legit posts and even strong @steemit contributors. My point being, as long as things continue this way, there will probably be more posts. ^_^
Thanks for the upvote on my other post.
Little nugget for you:
No worries, the ones I upovoted were good as is this comment.. .:)
@Grumpycat makes no sense. They downvote people who use bots in the first hour of the post and then claim they are fighting the 6th day upvoters...all they will do is make bots more profitable for people brave enough to use them because everyone else is afraid of the grumpycat terrorist
Can't be that hard to check when the post received the bot votes. But more money in it for grumpycat to just spam everything I guess...
You're probably right. It's hard to tell when a vote is made, but @grumpycat can tell how old a post is. If a post isn't even 2.5 days old, then it's safe to assume the bot didn't vote on the 6th day.
You're right again though. The point isn't to punish 6th day voting. The point is to hit the bots allowing it to happen. The thing is though the bots don't care because when @grumpycat downvotes content, the bot and the bot creator doesn't care at all. It's buyer beware. The bot will continue to prey on content creators only now there's also @grumpycat that also preys on them. Only ones suffering are content creators.
In the eyes of @grumpycat, the answer is simple.
But therein lies the problem. That also hurts content creators because only content that gets seen then is @grumpycat's useless resteems.
@grumpycat is trying to attack the voting bots through content creators. Only ones they end up hurting are content creators though. Voting bots prey on content creators and then @grumpycat preys on them again. @grumpycat is the @steem community committing seppuku in hopes of nicking an artery of a voting bot. In the end, the voting bots survive and the community is killing itself.
I agree fully, this is a democracy and not a dictorial state. This @grumpycat downvoted my whole post where they claimed it was aimed at @akswi. I can imagine if a 'person' is not happy about my content and they can rightfuly downvote another, but this is going further!
Thank you for trying to mitigate my losses, I really appreciate it. You're on my followers list now!
I did a post on this topic yesterday on how to choose a 'safe' bot, have a look! https://steemit.com/steemit/@wolfje/safe-usage-of-voting-bots
You can take a look to https://steemit.com/@checkthisout/transfers and you can see the maximum abuse in using bot but this account work for you @grumpycat to promote @grumpycat posts.

Upvote and resteem your post .
I'm still new here, not a week yet.
I always see grumpycat posts on my feed and his hostility towards using bots. I remember there was a full length article about. I'm not affected yet because I have nothing but the impact on the community in the days to come could be disastrous. What if there are grumpycat1 2 3 etc?
