RE: The Ballad Of Single Shot Jack
found my way to your through your comment on one of the introduceyourself pages - where you were questioning the number/position... I just joined a couple of days ago and am amazed on some of the numbers and scores... now I read your post and find myself the first to write a real comment.. with all of the latter going on, I do not even remember what I wanted to reply on... I think it had someting to so with the investigation of a ...was it facebook... site...
Was it about my comment on a person who had just signed up, made their first post and had a reputation score of 48? I was really hoping someone could explain to me how that is even possible.
But yeah, it is a little odd, these bots. I am trying to be patient, but if no one is actually reading anyone else's post, just a bunch of bots running around awarding brownie buttons, the "intrinsic" value of the steem is going to suffer, I would think. But then what do I know?
I decided to try it out for a couple of months - if then I feel this is all about keeping us bussy on the computer, I will let go of it again, coz there are just too many other great things to be done in life ;-)
LOL! I like you. Yeah, I jumped in here, and I have been REALLY trying to make a go of this. But I am doing some assessing now... I like to write, and this has forced me to write regularly. But it does sort of feel like we are being kept busy... I have a couple hundred followers! Who never look at anything I post, even those phony "facebook friends" at least give you a thumbs up now and then. What I am learning about the reputation score is really bumming me out. I guess if you get a whale to upvote ONE comment it can skyrocket your reputation. Sort of starting to feel like this is a platform for whales to have their egos blown... Quality content will only be rewarded if some whale deems you worthy. I guess I am lucky, I had a dolphin friend on here upvoting everything I did, now I realize I would have nothing if I had not had a friend on the inside... I dunno, not throwing in the towel yet, but definitely dampened my excitement.
I like you to - and enjoy our conversation!! :-) Guess I have to find out more about the whale / dolphin / minnow system, coz I don't even understand how that is set up yet... but just like you said, not throwing in the towel yet ;-) cheers from Germany
Just found this, blew my mind... Less than a week, 2 posts and a bunch of "Thank you" for for comments. Reputation score 53. In less than a week! https://steemit.com/@gisellekoy
well, and 73 followers... amazing.... so, what is your guess on what kind of fraud or tactic is making such a quick ride here possible? Have you thought about contacting @sherlockhomes?
Did not know about sherlock, but there is not really a mystery here. She interviewed Dan's father, the founder of the site. I had never heard of her but she seems to be a crypto rock star and personal friend of the founder... but that means they have some way to push their friends and their agenda above anyone and anything else that happens here and that kinda sucks. But... it is what it is.
Yes, it is!
This place is a better place for me to come to, knowing that you're here.
My help is "just stuff" -- your friendship means loads! Silly, but -- thank you for being you. :) HUGS!
