RE: Weekly redfish and minnow mixer - 100% SBD giveaway 4-5-18
You've totally hit the point, there are so many bots right now that when I see the number of votes vs number of views...
Sometimes I get demotivated that so few people viewed my post and yet the number votes is like 20-30. I know there's a trail on me and it's a good thing. But I wish people who upvoted would stay on and engage rather than just upvote blindly.
@williamsyee said people still use bidbots even though the bidbots are definitely losing money. I don't understand why people still use them.
This is a good starting point to get whales and witnesses to decide the direction we're going. Since Steemit is community-driven, we always have a say. I'm supporting you on this @davemccoy!
I agree with you. I have a hard time up voting somebody without leaving a comment. Because I feel like if I upvote it then it's because I believe in what they're doing or that they're at least making good content and so I felt like wow what a good person to talk to. Well, it's kind of like I'm doing right now. However don't get discouraged. Use it as motivation to fuel your engine. I run around this place, and try to spread love. I don't pay attention to whether it's working or not. I just believe it has to be. I believe there's power in what we do, when we do it for good. It sounds like you're a really great person. And hopefully I'll be seeing you around here more. Well actually, I've got some games at my place if you want to stop by and play. I called him "60 second or less" games. They're really quite simple. And as the name hints pretty quick. Anyway I need to go. I'm trying to make my way to the intro feeds. But I keep getting distracted. I hope you had a great day. All of my love to you and all of yours. And may our creator bless yous.
I will have to stop by and check out your games!
Yes! Please do. I love to have people over at my place. Gives me somebody to talk to you. Plus everybody that plays gets the win so how awesome is that. And if you have any friends that are new around steemit please send them my way to. This gives them a chance to meet people and went a little money at the same time. I hope that you have a great day. All of my love to you and all of yours
Hey @johndoer123, you're doing great! Thank you for the encouraging words!
Me too, I upvote because it's a good content or from a trusted account. I'll go around and check out your games :)
All the best to you!
Thank you for the kind words. And definitely come by and check out the games. More importantly however is if you have any new friends to steemit send them my way if you want to. I'd love to meet them and have them over at my place. In any case you keep up the good work too. And together all of us will make this platform what it deserves to be. Sending you all of my love until we meet again. I hope you have an awesome day.
Not all of them make you loose money...
Yeah, not all. What I don't understand is why people still throw money when the bidbot is definitely returning negative income.
The thing that seems unfortunate is that a lot of whales and witnesses behave like this is little more than a giant "cash dispenser" to them.
I lot of people join Steemit only to make money. I have even seen almost complete newcomers say things like I am going to quit my job and do this full time like Jerry Banfield! They are barely even aware that "making money" requires creating content... they just want to make money on Steemit.
Then you have people like us who are more content based. Sure, rewards are nice, but we're largely here for content and community.
=^..^=
Yeah. Creating content is just one of the way to make money in Steemit. Unlike us who emphasize on contents and community, they are playing the game of Steemit economy.
