Blogging Around Day 16: Tide Pod Update: Food, Trump Winery, @Promoted scam

Tide Pod Food

After the internet blew up with the first major meme to hit mainstream media attention, Tide Pods has been troughing through a PR nightmare and has been working with social media giants to block conversations surrounding the Tide Pod Challenge, where teens eat Tide Pods and post their videos to garner views and clicks. Meanwhile, a few places have used the opportunity for some wit.


=========== Trump Winery ===========

IC: Greg Nash

Brett Samuels reports for The Hill that Trump Winery near Charlottesville, Va has requested from the Department of Labor to gain permission to hire foreign workers. The $11.46 an hour pay falls short of an incentive for American workers to consistently stay at the employment that reportedly mistreats their growers. Though Eric Trump manages the site, it still counters his father's campaign claims that foreign workers steal American jobs.

=========== @Promoted Scam ===========

What do all three of these have in common: one of steemit's top communities, one of steemit's top developers, and one of steemit's top banks. They were all implicated in a SCAM. Currently, one of the top results for "upvotes" or other related search terms includes these three posts by @heimindanger, @tipu, and @incrediblesnow.



Here are their three posts about @promoted, a service where you send SBD to null through "promote this post" and gian upvotes. Use @promoted bot instead of using vote selling bot
, @Promoted - Good Guy Voting Bot, and Don't use vote-selling bots: use @promoted instead. A bot that upvotes you when you burn money!.

I tried to use the service and I quickly foudn out that it was an utter waste of my money. I decided to reach out to @heimindanger but haven't gotten word yet and I've reached out to the ADSactly community and they've informed me that the member is no longer a part of the community. They have mentioned finding a solution, but I have one: flag. I know this is a hard word, but these three posts are brining users to a service that is not delivering.

I know that some projects fail and also that you don't always want your previous posts to be seen. I have many posts I wish I could delete, but the blockchain doesn't forget. We can however aid the situation by lowering the result from search results by flagging the posts. This may hurt these account's Rep, but what is the trade off? Continuously drawing users to a fraud or temporarily lowering Rep.

~~~~~~~~~ @BuildAWhale Curation~~~~~~~

@bethalea has been recruiting me for months to join @BuildAWhale's curation team and I've mostly put it on the back burner but I decided I will include a section of these blogs dedicated towards providing a handful of posts submitted to @BuildAWhale for upvoting. Without further adieu, I present you BuildAWhale Curation:

@Dber has a wonderful piece of science fiction entitled Legends Of The Multiverse #8 - The Green Valley that holds golden nuggets of deeper and sensational meanings that I encourage you to explore. Here is an excerpt:

It was no lie. Kraken did not lie. The Green Valley's water was chill and clear, with no other source for one hundred miles. Once upon a time some might have considered the invitation a deception, but all of those people were dead.

@Marcosespes1 writes about the fiery festival of Las Luminarias in his post entitled Horses, Fire & Wine... San Bartolomé dress in Fire for the Tradition - Incredible Pictures with white horses & Fire which he so kindly translates in different languages. The photographs he uses in his post is awestriking and captivates the moment with vivid details. Here are some of the photos used:

@Zoidsoft writes about the impact borders has on people in his article titled How Borders Create the Conditions that Turn you into Property and Limit your Options. In it, he claims that the elite ruling class uses the labor class as property. Here is an excerpt from his article:

If there’s a barbed wire fence around our property for our cattle, what does that imply when there’s a border wall on a country? Are not the elites “farming” us humans within the confines of its borders?

I have resteemed each of these articles to show further support

@jpederson96 amazing blog you've got here seriously..im not saying that lightly you can tell just how much heart you put into making this. I'm definitively following you now.

^ I'm part of the @echowhale team dropping off the rest of your upvote, thank you for using our service.

@echowhale

Thanks, I appreciate the support. It honestly means a lot.

As a civilized human being... I can't believe eating Tide Pods has become a thing. It's freaking outrageous.

Ya scams stink.

I really don't understand what people are thinking when they started that tide pod challenge. What's the benefit of eating it? Are they gonna be clean inside out when they eat it? 😕 So the promotion button just below our post is actually pretty useless? If so shouldn't they removed it already? There are times when I accidently click that button when I scroll with my phone and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. If people are not paying attention they might just click the confirm button and lose money. Thanks for the informative post.

Tide

Well, it is all about the clicks. The views, the likes, the attention.

Promoted

Yeah it sucks, was a feature that was used heavily in the early days of steemit but no longer. It grew too large.

Wow great photography all the images are amazing..... foods looks really good and delicious and yummy thank you for sharing the recipe....
