RE: Up to $75 vote from me if you encourage newbies. Newbies can also get same for a good blog. Closes 26 December.
That's a really nice campaign. You are very aware of your position within the network. Thanks for that. If you like, I will vote you as a witness (in case that is of any relevance right now). I will resteem the article.
... and here are my entries for your 75$ boxing-day-upvote-frenzy:

I deleted one of the entries because of a user complaint (see below..).
For the record, to me personally, it feels pretty gross to be used in this way--as someone's contest "entry". I neither asked for, nor needed, nor wanted advice or help, and the comment you made to me was not only rude but being made in an effort to gain something.
It's what I expected, having browsed the site quite a bit before and after joining (other comments I received were copy and pasted to multiple people as well), but still no nicer to experience. I hope things like this don't backfire and discourage people from interacting on this site when they realize how difficult it can be to judge what is genuine and what is being done for internet points, since the internet points here have monetary value and are therefore a more appealing reward.
But since I probably won't convince you I will remove it from the links. Too bad, I really found it very interesting.

lol she muted me^^
If the contest wasn't a motivating factor, you wouldn't have posted here to begin with. I dislike having to sort out how much someone was motivated by a contest vs. how much they were legit, because I'm sure you weren't 100% on either side of the fence.
Either way, I still wouldn't have appreciated being asked for tits in the same comment where you implied there was something shameful about my occupation, nor the bullet points regardless of whether you copypasta them at everyone or not. I'm just one of those people who gets irritated with unsolicited advice that I don't need. "If you haven't learned much about the site yet, here is a link" might possibly avoid rubbing someone like me the wrong way, but still better would be first bothering to find out if I actually had learned much yet or not. But I ignored it at the time because it's not THAT irritating.
And OMG I could have gotten in on this upvote profit circlejerk, too? lol pass. That only makes it feel grosser to me. Thanks for removing the link. I don't want upvotes for any reason other than someone appreciated my content, and wouldn't willingly have been part of this. I don't want an upvote from OP of this misguided thing or anyone else because it was promised as part of a contest. I like the concept of Steem mainly because I'm into free speech and such and such, but some of the monetizing aspects squick me out, and I'm trying to sort out how to navigate that. So far, basically... I trust no one. Not everyone, but many here seem to be strategizing with every interaction. Every upvote calculated for maximum reward. Somewhat icky, a lot of what I've read on that subject. In general, I think I'll be staying away from the parts of Steemit where people are making money by posting about how others can make money by posting about how others can make money by posting about how others can make money by... ... ...
THANK YOU! SOMEONE ELSE FEELS EXACTLY THE SAME WAY I DO. AND LOOK, IT'S @DOODLEBEAR. SAME DUDE WHO WAS QUITE DISRESPECFTUL ON MY POST AS WELL.

@doodlebear . I just read the entire discussion in both places. You did nothing wrong in my opinion, and your were very helpful and thoughtful. Her treatment of you was disrespectful. It's like if you ask an old lady if you can help her across the road and then she starts beating you with her umbrella, instead of saying "thanks, I'm OK". Please carry on helping newbies in the way you are doing and don't be put off by this.
I have read your other posts and I can see that you often help other people. You are a kind and good hearted person who goes out of his way to help others and it is not fair to get such a reaction. I am sure she did not read any of your earlier posts before jumping to a conclusion.
Thanks for the reply. It helps knowing that I'm not the only one who is confused about this episode. I assume, she just had a bad day or something.
Since this is not the first time I completely misread a situation (I even suspected it this time..) and there were some disturbing reactions and consequences before, I decided not to communicate anymore with female users here on the platform. It's probably the best for my reputation and for my nerves.
Don't be put off by females. Males can get the wrong end of the stick just as easily. You can see one having a go at me below. He has taken umbrage.
If somebody seems to not be on your wavelength, then you can consider muting them. As far as I know it does neither side any harm if they don't talk to each other.
It looks like you two are like peas in a pod together.
Hi @doodlebear. I upvoted two of your posts 100% in the blog of artopium. As he would benefit from that - and now says he does not want it, I will remove those two votes and give you two 100% votes in this blog. Done.
Again, thanks a lot, that's very thoughtful of you. I haven't noticed the debate with @artopium was proceding since I had muted most of the participants. Well, if he doesn't like this kind of attention, he and @lintilla surely will find something else.
You can now proceed with showering others with your upvotes - or maybe enjoy a little self-upvote;-)
