Hope to see you there!
bid bot misuse, @steemflagrewards
Then HF21 happened and it all changed, the bingo hall grew still, the offers remained but few dared to take them.
Please don't buy votes, STEEM is trying to recover from what is once was. Help us make it great again.
bid bot misuse, @steemflagrewards
I didn't bid on on anything. What I did do was provide some of MY steem, that I earned or purchased to a curation pool. In return, I get votes from the pool.
Now, if you are saying that by creating good content, and trying to get it noticed by investing MY steem is wrong, then I guess I am wrong. That is fine. I will just turn off @steempress on my blog and be gone.
Since HF21 this is severely frowned upon. There's nothing wrong with your content, but ask yourself.. 'is there anywhere else I can get a 100% return in 7 days?'
If your content is good it will be noticed and up-voted by the community and the curation groups. I for one look for the good stuff and try and get people @curie votes.
Wouldn't you prefer that than what just happened?
You won't get a cent from Facebook, that's a given.
Are you kidding? @tipu and @minnowbooster are the exact same thing from what I can tell.
They are still vote buying services amongst other things. There are people here actively looking for vote buyers to down-vote.
It would have been someone else that would have caught this if not me.
Can you remember Trending full of content that was paid for, now it's organic.
If you want your content on Trending and want to pay for it to be there, then decline rewards, nobody will bother you.
It's this that caught my eye.
Why do I do this?
Because I'm a largish stakeholder and don't want the platform to revert back to it's old image of, 'Trending is for paid votes'
I can see your not being an arsehole about all this like some of them are. You don't need to leave.. join us in making this place better.
When you say "decline rewards" are you meaning declining rewards for the vote I promote it with, or all rewards, to include those who visit and vote on it? If the first, I can see that, same thing basically as paying to promote on anohter platform. You pay in hopes those that see it will reward you.
If my thinking is wrong, please..correct me.
I don't know if you use Steemit or Steempeak. If the former its when you post in the advanced settings at the bottom of the page.
Yes, it's like advertising on Twitter or Facebook.
But wouldn't declining payouts using this method stop rewards for individual user votes from those actually viewing the content and upvoting it?
Steem Flag Rewards mention comment has been approved for SFR Token Issuance!
Tokens will be transferrred when the flagged content reaches payout.
Thank you for reporting this abuse, @slobberchops.
Violation of promotional service TOS, use of promotional services for ROI, or overpromoted content.
Over-promoted content generally points to low quality content or self-aggrandizing trending spot hogging

Ha, I guess you have your response!
Yes they did. If they are going to come onto my blog and spam it with their propaganda, which also feeds a blog that is not on #Steemit, then yes. Not sure why it is anyone's business if I invest my SP out to others for use and they vote on my post for doing so.
No problem, I'm just a shit minnow, who creates this content because I enjoy it and hoping others will to. I'll just take my focus back to Facebook and other social media.
Haha, way to put lipstick on that pig. Welcome to decentralized governance. I guess it just isn't for you.
@joshman, sorry, I guess my ignorance on the guts of how steem really works to understand this. It is not my intent to put lipstick on anything.
Hey, but at least the two of you made a comment when you downvoted. Even though one of the comments looks like a "bot" comment.
Some people have a visceral reaction to downvotes. You seem like a reasonable guy.
People can use their investment/stake to influence behavior such as buying of votes, upvoting, and downvoting. While the STEEM you spent on the votes was yours to do so as you please, the resulting allocation of the reward pool is voted upon and not guaranteed. The expectation of ROI for a bought vote is one of the primary issues. Another issue is the bot vendors themselves are creating the false expectation that spending a little STEEM is akin to promoting. While that's true to some extent, you can look at trending yourself to get a feel for how much STEEM you would have to spend to get anywhere close to the top. The level of your bids would put you several pages deep. Not many people scroll that far. These days if you even attempt to bid a post that high, the downvotes will be heavy.
The absolute best way to promote yourself these days is through engagement. While your stuff is very good, and I'd hate to see you leave. It's near impossible to draw a line and say one group of people are acceptable to buy votes, and one group of people is not. If you're relatively new, you missed the days of a single photo post with three words getting $100 bids or more. The recent hard fork was the community saying enough is enough. Most bid bots of the past have switched over to manual curation. There are a few hold outs, as you well know now! :)
As a fellow IT guy, I'd hate to see you go. As of now, you are only promoting yourself to people who have a disdain for vote buying. Getting exposure here is not easy. I know first hand. But I can tell you this for certain. Even had you not been downvoted, you would have received very little in the way of organic votes or followers by doing this. Myself, and many others with stake, if we aren't downvoting, we sail right by posts that have bought votes.
Hope this helps. If you want to chat more, I'm pretty easy to find on discord.
I do... but I try and explain things. His content is long and not shit, but the methods are bad.
Yep, understood. YOu can't buy bidbots or votes. You can't be a part of a voting circle, circle of friends or any other voting exchange. No circle jerks, no pats on the back, no quid pro quo, favors, handshakes or blood oathes....unless your a whale who posts memes all day long and then it is ok.
Never received a dislike or negative comment for paying to promote a post on other social media. In fact, the opposite has been experienced. I get more positive engagement, meet new people and provide information to people who might not otherwise see it. So I'm going to leave Steem and focusing on refreshing and building the communities I have other places. I just don;t understand enough about how steem works to get along here. I create too much content I am accused of spam, I create too little and I am accused of not being a productive member of the community. I get told I can't promote my posts, or those of others, all the while those with SP can do as they please.
Doesn't sound very decentralized to me. Peace out.
