RE: BuzzSteem Ep 14 - [Whale Fraud, Facebook Fights Back, dSound and More!]
I like the your shows!
I came a across sweetjess all those months ago when I first joined steemit.
It was a good exercise in realizing early on, that the quality of content is not what steemit is about. (that's the hook to get you here...)
Which is fine. If you know the game, it's up to us if we play or not.
I have made money here, so I'm not complaining. (anymore)
I did my complaining about the morals of the way it works months ago, and then stopped.
sweetjess is not the only one......there are hundreds if you want to waste hours of your time digging around. I did. lol.
Well, bringing people news about Steemit is kind of my shtick now, so I don't really consider it time wasted, or feel like anyone is complaining really. Believe me, I get it. There are a couple of singers on D.tube that can't carry a tune in a bucket and make my ears bleed, as a professional singer myself and they are making triple daily what I make on my videos. d.tube seems to have abandoned me haha. But that I don't really care about because they are still bringing content to d.tube (albeit not good content, but I digress.) That is what I see as complaining. "user blank is making more than me boo-hoo".
However, a whale, that has 12 accounts open just for the intent to drop over $300 a day in upvotes in each one and cash in on that weekly, that's some bullshit, and it's wonderful if you are financially doing well for yourself on here, but everyone is in danger of losing what they have earned if everything goes belly up. That's why I am doing this, and will continue to do this even if I start making a lot more money, because we have to protect our investments. That's how I see it anyway.
I understand where you are coming from - totally.
the likes of sweetjess are many - and as whales - we really can't do a lot about them.
The big players will continue to game the system..
