RE: Abuse Series: Playing Solitaire
Self voting is born out a platform with more bot accounts than real traffic and less engagment and a dreadful new user retention. If Steem wasn't a cryptocurrency this site would be dead a long time ago. If curation was actually fair and what it says on the tin then self voting wouldn't be too much of an issue minus the bad actors you mentioned who would not play community fair anyway.
It's too bad really. Those who have the powers to influence change don't seem to be set on it.
It was never an equal playing field from the start.
a answer to their post and a link to it below
95 percent of the posts HERE on steem do NOT get any up votes and yet
AS FOR SELF VOTES you said you target from the very bottom up ok then every one knows the very bottom are the minnows which post things here on steem and 99.999999999999999999 percent of the time unless they themselves up vote their own post they will not get anything for their own post and when the pot is given out the minnows would be very , very lucky to even get a a single one cent, aka a penny. alot of work and time for lest than a penny worth of pay.
and yet to @personz and @transisto who made the sadkitten bot to go after and target those same little minnows here on steem in order to rob those minnows of the penny that they may make, talk about greed at it worst. that is what this is all really about,
ALSO as for the big boys on steem aka the whales all have multi accounts in which they post on and up vote their other accounts, in order to get a big share on the reward pot. also those same whales most dod have agreement with other whales to upvote each others post as to increase they pot share and that is ok with all the whales, after all as long as they get more to hell with everyone else.
theythe whales thinking is those little minnows how dare they even try to earn even a penny of the pot after all that is a penny we should earn, so lets hit them with bots and teach them a lesson in greed that will show them who really is greedy here on steem. after all them we can sell the steem for really money to all the other suckers and fools out there in the world and cash in, and be rich, and that is all that steem trading is all about, steem is said to be where anyone can make it and yet, the real truth is only a very select few and to hell with everyone else, that is the cold hard facts and truth about this steem
those that created the sadkitten bot who targets minnows may even make the excuse to say well we are just trying to get people who do up vote to make sure that they up vote others people to. well that does not work and will never work. you can now make people up vote things that they have no interest in or like. so again the very cold hard facts and truth are what was said above . as to why there really is a sadkitten bot, simple greed and nothing more. get every penny you can from the minnows and to hell with them all.
as for all the minnows who do self vote if they did not up vote their very own post no one else does or will 99.99999 percent of the time. so to all minnows yes upvote your own post and i say to to hell with sadkitten and those who made it,
and if you check the sadkitten money you see it has a very , very large amount to down vote all that amount it has comes from the above whales to do what was said here in this post, i do encourage all to go to the sad kitten bot page and look for your self before the amount is removed and to also down vote all comments that the sadkitten bot makes

Several things:
@sadkitten doesn't even counter 100% of their vote value.
Community culture requires shaping from the bottom up. The top won't go anywhere any time soon, but the bottom can easily proliferate.
If 10k SP is "massive", then you have never seen a whale.
It's not that hard to earn as a minnow/plankton. You need to interact. This is a social medium. There are plenty of people making Steem through whatever communities/initiatives they chose to involve in. Examples include #steemchurch #ulog #esteem, etc. Hell, just head over to PAL and get yourself a $0.10 upvote every 36 hours.
If the people highlighted in this post are what you call "poor minnows", then they only have themselves to blame.
Finally, you obviously have no idea how the Steemworld infographics are made. These 97% self-voters literally don't give a flying zip about ANYONE around them. Be glad that they aren't whales. They make @haejin look like a saint.
I think that curation improvements would help out a lot too.
thank you for your sharing, I like it !
