Of course getting whale votes means a lot more than getting upvotes from people without a stake. It is vested votes that count.
But anyone can get votes from whales by making content that is seen as valuable to the STEEM Blockchain, or that brings engagement to STEEM.
I didn't know that Davidpakman used bid bots, so you got that right. But it doesn't change the fact that you're wrong to say that all top bloggers use them.
Ok, not all, but most do. All of them are either a whale, have whale friends, or used bid bots. There will never be a post with over $500 without one of those things.
you acquire a "whale friend" by consistently posting quality content that a STEEM stakeholder sees as valuable to the platform. Many quality content creators on my list had no friends when they started out, then someone viewed their content and wanted to support them. As a result, they either get votes from them periodically or set automatically.
It doesn't require anything other than community engagement and persistence.
Anyways, as STEEM grows and more quality content creators join, the vested votes will have to be distributed more.
They also spend their SBD to buy more SP. More steem power means a bigger vote to hand out. You should look at their outgoing votes more than their incoming votes. You are looking at what they are MAKING and not what they are GIVING. Giving is the part of a social network that gives a user value, not how much they spend to take away from others.
Your 100 SBD bot bids take from every other user sending a little bid to try and get some views. Your reason for such large views is you believe that, that is a way to become a top steemian. You're not becoming a top steemian, you are just going to join the list of users who will never make it unless they keep spending money on a system that is set up to make FREE money for content.
I give back to the community. Thanks to our Youtube videos we have bring thousand of people from the Spanish market into Steemit + wi delegated power to people. So your comment doesnt make anything to me.
We already have a Large Spanish market so your comments mean nothing to me either. And who calls 12,000 Youtube follows and such low likes a good YouTube channel for steemit? A buyer of YouTube followers............
So many ignorant people in this place :) who will be dumb enough as to buy Youtube followers. You didn't have a large Spanish market back in July 2017 you liar. If 12K Youtube susbcribers is "low like" go make a Youtube channel and if you get to 5,000 Real subscribers I will give you 1 whole bitcoin. Go and do it kid! I dare you, you low like person haha
No I did not. Top authors all use some time of advantages they are either a Whale with thousands in Steem Power, have Whales Friends that upvote every stupid posts they make. The rest are people like me investing hundreds in Bid Botes. If that is not the case prove me wrong. Show me top authors that dont get Votes from Whale accounts. Show me 5 posts that have earned $500+ without been a Whale and without whales upvotes.
I felt this same way. They had preach on your making good posts yet a click on their wallet reveals tens of bids made to bots that give them an upvote value of the kind they'd tell you hardwork will get you.
You're pissed and that's ok. Scrolled through yours though and noticed you went from making $20 per post to $600, $900 e.t.c. pretty fast. Maybe that triggered our adorable grumpy cat. Maybe not.
Nevertheless, this is one of the ugly perks of a decentralized platform.
I already gave 10.
It doesn't make sense to compare someone who makes 600 on a post using no bots, with someone who makes 1000 with bots but had to pay hundreds of dollars worth of SBDs to obtain them, without taking that into account.
Most of the top authors do not depend on buying votes.
^This guy gets it.
Not the respectable ones at least.
Agreed. False. Some people are not content creators, they are "money miners."
"Money Miners: Proudly Destroying Social Content Sites since 1999!"
Mining money is always good. Steemit is here to earn money, if you dont like Money miners go user Facebook or Twitter.
buena esa manito ejjejej que se ballan a faceboock jj
I aggre with you👍
Could you please show me 10 Top authors that dont use voting bots?, I will be waiting for those so that I can prove you wrong. Thanks!
acidyo, donkeypong, davidpakman, exyle, nanzo-scoop, heiditravels, sauravrungta, lemouth, suesa, myself.
-You: Legit posts, not using bid bots or Whale friends.
acidyo Is getting downvotes by accounts like blocktrades and other whales. Why would they paid Bid Bots if they are this connected?
donkeypong: Account is estimated at 1.8M + getting Whales votes, again why would this account used bots?
davidpakman: use bid bots
exile Another Whale with his Whale friends and paying blocktrades
Wont keep going as the rest are probably more whales with their whales connections. Thank you for trying!

Why would I post on YouTube? It's shit post central, better yet why are you bothering with Steemit if you are doing so well on Youtube?
If you are not aware of the Spanish discord channel with 1000's of users, I guess no-one has found you worth inviting there yet.
Hay una gran membresía en español. Hemos sido grandiosos desde 2016.
My point was according to your own numbers LESS THAN 1% of your viewers like your content. 200/6000
Your comment has nothing to do with the current topic.
Topic is mute, @grumpycat is doing steemit a service.
nice detective work!
He exaggerated
