RE: My dream and my memories for #steemitultimatechallenge @dobartim
1000$+ for a post like this :/
Is this supposed to be a joke? Or a very interesting way of showing us how useless the "trending" page is when people can buy such big upvotes?
I really hope the ones running the bots are blacklisting you for future use!
@themarkymark - what do you think of such an excessive use of bots like yours? I know you dealt well with spammers and abusers in the past :)
Flagged for disagreement on rewards!
Self-upvoting this to jump over the xx comments of your used bots!
Free market will find it's way. Congratulation to everyone flagging this.
thank you for visiting my post
I upvoted the post.
This is genius and deserves to be top trending.
upvoted (y)
Nice work
Friend, this is out in the open theft. Also known as shameless capitalism. You aren't bothered by it, so it's super rampant in all layers of life!
The steem concept is broken until the densest among us catch up to the truth about the difference between money and currency, and that steem is only special if the majority of us use it to transcend money back into true currency.
Steem is about replacing the trappings of capitalism with the comfort of the Golden Rule, which most activity here thus far certainly violates. This is the result of greedy capitalism and the producer belongs in a money pit not to be held in high eSteem.
This inverted behavior and result is how things will Be until the densest among us choose to support each other rather than emulate this exact behavior in search of money while sacrificing eSteem. 💛
we all do the best we can
thank you for visiting my post
You do? Are you sure you're doing your best? Capitalizing on loopholes to knowingly drain the honestly generated currency of others is your best?
Friend, doing your best means loving yourself and All. Never would Anyone's best be to claim more than their honest share of shared currency 💙
Enjoy your chat with a commenting bot :)
this is amazing
Thank you
This is my life memories and my invested time
Again ,
Thank you
Thank you
Check this one - similar - seems a new circle rising here on steemit stealing from the reward pool. Reported already to some bid bot owners.

Every comment beneath Your post, is about Your post my friend.
Your post reminds us of a school shooting. David Hogg is not real.. David Goggins is don't you See?
People like You pretend to be people like David Goggins and that is less than theft, it's capitalism. Clean your mirror and you will see the truth as reflected. Only the truth deserves respect, esteem.
This post I suppose deserves just enough Doll Lairs to illustrate the truth.
Which it has, thanks!

You will find both of them there. And the company in this post from @dobartim:

Yes saw that - a typical MLM which is by nature not illegal but always sth one should be careful - I know about about such business models.
He seems to be up to something similar with Steemit:

Using the Steemit-Logo without permission, making it look official... this could do harm to Steemit.
I reported to @steemcleaners. Maybe they can do something.
I am sort of embarrassed to admit that I'm from Ontario now. I do remember getting scammed by someone in Burlington more than twenty years ago. Fckng Burlington.

Even though I wouldn't do it myself, I don't blame the people who abuse the reward pool.
If you distribute $65M in a year for posting, commenting, and upvoting on a website like Steemit, what do you expect?
Do you think everybody's going to come here and upvote only content that's worth it? There'll be people who are going to take advantage of it.
Good luck trying to flag all of these abuse posts. It's a pathetic whack-a-mole game. As soon as you flag one, ten others will pop-up. No way around this in the current system.
This system is designed to fail. I really have a difficult time what people investing in Steem are thinking. Do they think that investing in a platform that blows off 6.5% of their investment on a content like this in a year is ever going to make money?
Saying "Don't hate the playa, hate the game" is the same as victim blaming.
There's no victim in this game. Who is the victim?
Are the content providers victim, because they don't get paid what they deserve?
No one owes you anything. If you don't like what you're paid here, there are thousands of other websites to post your content and thousands of other ways of to monetize your content. No one guaranteed you any income here.
Are the investors the victim, because they lost 60% of their investments since the height of the market in January 2018?
I'd almost say, yes, but I wouldn't. Because it's investors' duty to do their due diligence. After spending one week on this site, it was obvious to me that it was bleeding cash and wasn't investable in its current form.
Are the users who have to search for hours to come across a single piece of content that is worth their 3 minutes to read?
Are you kidding me? There are millions of websites and you have to spend your time here? Why?
You might ask why I still hang around here, because this platform has some potential and perhaps, we'll be able to build a community and successfully make the necessary demands to turn it around.
thank you for your kind words
it is something we all try have to learn
steemit is evolving and we have to evolve and respect pioneers
Steem is both a test and an opportunity for humanity to transcend money back into true currency.
You are right that we are failing for expected obvious reasons, seemingly rigged like you're saying.
It's up to us to come together and enforce the difference between eSteem and Money. Simple as that. We don't allow steem to become money, we laugh at posts such as this until the truth is established as the only Way to Be.
The problem with Steemit is, it is doing exactly what the libertarians are criticizing in governments, that is redistributing other people's money.
Most investors aren't aware that those extra coins created every year to be distributed to the authors and curators as rewards are actually a form of tax on their investments.
This tax amounts to 6.5% of their investments in a single year and a good deal of that tax is blown away to content like this.
I have already written some posts about how to change this system and I'll keep writing. So, I think I'm doing my share of work to fix this system.
Can you point me to the paragraph in the white paper where this is stated? All I can find is 15% for SP holders and 10% for witnesses.
You can find it in their official FAQ. https://steemit.com/faq.html#How_are_the_new_tokens_distributed
If you do the math:
0.75 * 0.095 / 109.5 = 0.065Hence, the 6.5%.
Most people aren't aware that inflation is a form of tax and I plan to write a post about that later today.
A little too simple if you ask me. How do you take into account the anual decrease at 0.5%, the 10% for the witnesses and the 15% for the steem power holders? As an investor not being a witness and not powering up, the inflation would still be at approximately 9% this year.
Here is a formula that takes into account the annual decrease at 0.5%:
0.75 * (0.095 - 0.005 * (CurrentYear - 2017)) / (1.095 - 0.005 * (CurrentYear - 2017))InflationTax(2018) = 6.19%It comes down to 6.19% instead of 6.5%.
I don't have any problems with the payments to the witnesses or steem power holders.
It's a decentralized system and someone has to power the system. Witnesses do that.
If you think that the witnesses don't deserve their 10% cut and if you explain me why, I'm willing to listen.
15% payment for the Steem Power holders is just a dividend for holding an illiquid asset, which takes three months to liquidate.
At the end of the day, that 15% only provides an advantage over regular Steem holders, who have the advantage of holding an liquid asset that can be sold immediately.
By the way, even if we consider 9% inflation, it's corresponding tax would be calculated as the following:
0.09 / 1.09 = 8.26%PS: All results rounded for simplicity.
Of course the witnesses deserve the 10% but it is nevertheless part of the tax you calculate. And the mayority of them are authors and authors have steempower. If you take away the reward pool for curators and authors, you take away the essence of steemit. What will be left is just another crypocurency pumped and dumped by investors. There will be no more incentive to write good stuff, now there is, enough people make a living here, you may not see them at the trending page but if you make a grand per week with a couple of posts, compared to nothing on other platforms, that's pretty good too, don't you think? The real problem is that the quality diminishes, I heard from a, to me, big fish that she wrote better articles at the beginning, the more power you get, the lazier you can be. And let's be honest, for that kind of money, every trending post Is a piece of garbage, @neilstrauss being the exception, but he reuses finished material, albeit uncut. I can get a lot more value for my brain from a 10$ book than reading through the trending posts :)
So In that reapect you are right, the posts are overvalued. Instead of creating new technologies like SMT's to bring even more people to the platform, how about implementing a decent search, to find those who are already there. Growth is important but growth with frustrated people is not that good. Seriously, a company with a webpage that uses custom google search? I understand that it's additional revenue though.

I will stop doing this when you stop buying votes.
I agree with @winstonwolfe This is the only real negative I see on this platform. Any other problems are rather trivial, but like you say, it's just not fair.
Great point. What exactly is this supposed to be beyond a paperweight within the community. It's so frustrating to see individuals getting so much off literally nothing and those who are actually real, relevant, meaningful content at $0.00. There needs to be more control over the voting system so this nonsense doesn't continue to happen and turn people off!

I'm commenting on the uselessness of the post itself and how for some reason you've gotten over 850 votes and nearly $1,000 for it.
I've seen and read some incredible content here, but for some reason those with great content aren't getting recognized and therefore paid accordingly for that quality. Yet here, you've posted literally nothing!
I hate seeing those individuals posting great content, having that content be so blatantly disrespected. If we keep rewarding this nonsense in the way we have here, I believe, because it is such a tremendous insult to real content, we are eventually going to start losing followers and believers in the Steemit community altogether!
True, You express thoughts of thousands
Thank you!
Blog is spelled with one G. It's not "blogg." Look, that sounds picky, but you really didn't even proofread this post. There are multiple errors. Have some pride. For this money, you could hire an editor if English isn't your first language. It said in the post, you live in California. Go to school. Can't you see how you're making everybody look bad?
I completely agree! I'm stunned at the disregard for OTHERS HIGH QUALITY content...
I'm only voting Good or Excellent posts from now on that include, high quality content beneficial to the Steemit #community and #blockchain -
I'm hopeful that if we all jump on board with this initiative , we can collectively help towards eradicating plagiarism and low value content, and intern, attract new users that will provide high quality content for the platform.
Maybe I'll be creating a curating trail with this in mind.
Thanks for Commenting @theaustrianguy
thats the magic of payment I guess.. you can buy anything with money.. and in recent time most of the posts in trending page are posts which received big bot votes..
Hahaha. I reply this comment because I interest this. I Agree with you
Good ¡¡. I upvoted the post.
This is fine people.
It is impossible. GIVE ME MONEY! Almost 1000$. Do you know that in Poland you must work for 30 days to gain so much money?!
it cost him double that in paying for upvote bots. he is making a huge financial loss
