Don't let anyone con you out of your earnings, SP, and money.

There are lots of services out there now that are promising the world. Bid to get upvotes. Delegate SP to get payouts or favors. The list goes on and on.

I won't elaborate, but I just want you to know that your SP and earnings are much better and much more beneficial to you in YOUR hands than they are in anyone elses. Think twice before delegating and paying for the bidding bots.

Luckily Steemit only "penalizes" you by a week for choosing to shift your SP delegations, so errors like the ones I made are corrected swiftly. Do the math - buyer beware when it comes to all of the bidding bots and junk delegation services out there.

Don't let someone else "own" what is rightfully yours. They'll do everything they can to pay you undermarket prices, deceive and mislead you if it means they get ahead or get to further their agenda. You can't believe everything you read, no matter how reputable the source.

I'm starting to come around to other people's POV that the bots on Steemit are a bad thing.

But it's late and I digress.
