RE: Bounty CLAIMED - Report on Followers with Earnings
Sry, but I think you can't compare @randowhale to what you are doing. @randowhale was enabling a few dollar Votes in order to promote your posts a little bit. But even "HOT" was almost impossible with just one randowhale.
You however are making posts which are just copy/paste from other pages and your are upvoting them with dozens of dollars put into boosters.
Just take this post as an example: https://steemit.com/video/@contentjunkie/roy-halladay-plane-crash-video-witnesses-say-he-was-showboating
You posted it ten days ago. Then, four days after publishing, you sent dozens of dollars into boosting the article. I think after four days you can't argue well it was for promoting (which in most of eyes is the "legit" use of boosters).
What was the result?
You got 55$ dollars for a post viewed by 16 people! Just look at the huge difference (279 upvotes compared to 16 views).
And we didn't even talk about the quality yet. It's a random plane crashing video...
Do you really think you deserve 4$/view on a post like this?
I just know @berniesanders and many others (including me) think you don't deserve that much for it.
And that's why he corrected it - According to a point suggested for flags:
Disagreement on rewards
Greets
I approve of this message. When you have a service, and a competitor offers a better service, you've just gotta grab em by the pussy!
When you are rich, you get to decide who deserve's what! and that is fucking cool!
You are absolutely right with this observation. @contentjunkie specialized on creating quick no-brainer posts (which is totally cool in my opinion) and upvoted the shit out of them for a very long time (not cool because undeserved quality).
I am still not certain where I stand on the downvoting but what happens here is certainly an interesting disruption of a system that was never intended like this. The market starts to self-regulate. Even though this is supposedly just one individual the effect seems to create a rather positive feedback in the community and many are voicing their support for this.
We will see where this is leading but I don't think it will hurt Steem or Steemit.
I also think the self-regulation in the end will benefit steemit. Where else is this possible?
Precisely.
Welp I always saw it as bernie making the scam available for the little guy. Which is fair, some of these poor fellas might actually need the money, while I am sure the ones who figured out how to make thousands off of writing some bots and doing vote-for-vote with the big guys on discord, have many other (scamy) ways to make money IRL or somewhere else on the web.
I like that Bernie is back to his old asshole self. If we all downvoted shit we do not like this would actually have the chance of being a good social media site.
Why did he stop @randowhale btw?
Beacuse ne needs the SP for flagging ;)
