RE: Please Stop Taking Your Shits Above The Heads Of Actual Content Producers: Thank You
Lol those CHB posts were awful and I didn’t need even visit trending that much but even I saw them as way too much I don’t know how anyone else dealt with it! Actually won a meme competition meme’ing his bs once lol
I’m actually quite liking the complaints from bigger accounts who buy votes or have vote trading circle jerks now being disrupted
It’s about damn time! The compliance is real on these accounts I can put out anything get my 10-40 bucks and move on!
The whole point of Steem was to be a place where content can compete regardless of who posts it but it’s been a pay to play it popularity contest.
Lol I don’t have a community who supports me, I don’t bid bot, all my votes I get are a lottery every day and sometimes I do win something
It encourages me to create not knowing when I’ll hit there big time lol that for me is the fun part but then again it’s not for everyone
I tried talking to that guy. I've met more interesting walls. To me it looked like he had a deal going, buying votes, setting the trending page fake value, forcing others to pay that much, then they all padded their wallets. The posts and words were just filler, in my opinion.
I'm seeing a lot of folks now hitting those bonus rounds. Have you noticed how you want to try harder? Maybe there's a bit of pressure to do a good job? It's a good thing. It's contagious as well. Before all these changes, we were attempting to chip away at a wall with a plastic spoon, trying to get somewhere. Now it seems there's a mountain ahead, but a clear path that leads to the top. It won't be easy, but at least everyone can see a chance of getting somewhere actually exists.
Oh I can totally see that it was filler and the sad thing was people would engage with the content hoping to get some scrappy upvotes and it would seem to the untrained eye as if this person was a popular author lol
I don't see anything wrong with making steem earning harder and encouraging more manual curation and actually using your brain instead of these mindless botting and circle-jerking. It is contagious, I can see people who I used to upvote because I liked their stuff get more rewards than they ever had before, they were just going unnoticed
I also see some bid botter peeps powering down and leaving.
I see people trying to bid bot smaller amounts to try and fly under the radar
I think this DV usage is only the beginning. People who like this new ecosystem will earn a stake and buy a stake and support the way it works and im keen to see how it plays out. Yes I agree on there is still a mountain of abuse but now we have something to work with
I always said one of the biggest problems here was a severe shortage of curators. All that SP was centralized into a few paid votes, and those people earning were being paid to look away. How can someone see value in something if it's as easy as breathing in air?
