Really dude? Didn't you just compete in the @minnowsupport project trip to steemfest? Didn't you just get added to one of the bots to help support your content as a runner up. You wrote 2 different posts as part of the competition... and now you shit on us?

Inside that discord group are 20+ channels where teams of people work together to make projects happen, help new authors, learn how this place works, and work as a team. We're in multiple countries trying to on board new users. We've seen contests, giveaways, and have helped people that are down on their luck. For example, this community gave hundreds to an active member that lost their house and to a new member that's having twins. We have a radio show coming out with hosts planning just to help teach new users tricks on here.

The whole approach is to help new accounts figure this place out. Many will tell you that they had no idea what they were doing. Many have left without a community to support and help them. If you want steemit to grow you have to help onboard and work to make the platform simple and effective for new users. Yes, the messaging starts with earn from posting because that's what appeals to people, but the real plan is to teach them about a different way to be, act, and support one another in a model that doesn't purposefully induce scarcity.

The main account which upvotes 1600 posts a day is funded by people that delegate to it. The curation rewards are shit because it all goes to minnow posts that basically dont' earn much above what the account can give them.
Currently all the accounts with any kind of voting in the project have roughly 140k SP combined from 200 separate delegations.

You're so off base it's crazy. You're hypocritical for posting in our competitions losing, and then coming out against us?!? You kinda strike me as a real douchebag right now.

As for bidbots. Which you seem to be mixing in with @minnowsupport. I have one of those too. It's set to vote every 36 minutes. That's a purposeful design to limit competition for post rewards meaning it's far more likely that someone can do the minimum bid and get the rewards rather than competing for it. It works by accepting 0.01 sbd and paying out roughly 0.4. You got me again. Clearly these posts earning 0.4SBD every 36 minutes are draining the pool. It has nothing to do with whales circlejerking and upvotign their own comments on low view posts...

What's your alternative? How do you help new users or what's the other proposal? Where's your solution in action?

Shame on you too @matt-a for upvoting this trash.

Oh, and lastly, after 2 months of working 40hrs a week on this project I now witness 27blocks a day. So, that's about 26 steem, which is about $25. Considering I work 4-5 hours on this project I'm making a whopping $5/hr and you can check the transfer list and see I've donated hundreds to this project. So, you got me. I've nailed this get rich quick scheme. Work long shitty hours for little pay on top of my full time job and donate what I get away.
