In times of upvotes drought and lack of interaction. ¿Why not try a new rain dance?

"The Cherokee, a tribe from the southeastern United States, performed this type of dance to promote rain and to cleanse the land of evil spirits. The legend maintains that the rain provoked by the ritual contains the spirits of ancient tribal chiefs who, when falling, confront the evil spirits in the intermediate plane between reality and the spiritual world"

Cleanse The Land Of Evil Spirits... uhm yeah, if we take into account the large number of posts that are appearing lately left and right on steemit. Regarding the community concerns about the whale's civil war going on here, the current flags/downvotes festival between them, the obvious rewards pool rape practices by some short sighted pinheads within the platform and the subsequent carnage of few others trying to fight & counteract the eventual payouts of shit trending posts with undeserved high rewards, abusive use of bidbots to reward with heavy upvotes spam and last minute comments and posts out of our collective wealth pool, et cetera. I suppose you already can imagine why you have to go wearing your loincloth, dance around the bonfire and hit hard the leather of those ritual drums ASAP.

"BEHAVIORS" ¿Huh?

So, ¿Is your steemit usage compulsive or addictive?

¿Eating your own dog food?

Aka: ¡¡WHALES!!

"I used to look at the heads of the social networks and get annoyed that they didn’t understand their own sites. Regular users encounter bugs, abuse or bad design decisions that the executives could never understand without using the sites themselves. How, I would wonder, could they build the best service possible if they didn’t use their networks like normal people?"

Yeah! perhaps from now on in as little as 15 minutes, I could inject all my posts with a few lines of code of a reinforcement api to positively influence at my favor the chemistry and biology of steemian's brains in regards of their decision-making & readiness to give me a rain of upvotes, resteems, comments and interact with me in each one of my posts densely for ever. But on the other hand and thinking it over. ¿Who would want to feel later enslaved reading extra stuff daily and returning so many upvotes and replies to such massive active loyal audience? ¿Huh? ¿Would you do it? ¿Would you give up the freedom to have more free time to do what you please as easily?

Ah! Come on!! ¡Don't make me laugh!

You already seems to not even have time to sit down and write a medium decent quality post. Then, from where the hell are you going to take the time to read every post of your loyal followers and also read/upvote/reply their comments in yours too?

Let's be honest for fuck's sake!!


¿Can you spell it well?

Yep! in the meantime, I think I'll continue with my usual Minah Bird strategy for a while around here. Before invest/waste a few SBDs on that digital dopamine thingy too early. ;)

Sort:  

A very confrontational article, but that leaves you reflecting on what happens on our platform.

Yup! my dear @elinderzambrano. Burda of reflections served with a big pink soup spoon how the Cranky Gandalf likes to offer them.

¡Anda! ahora abre la boquita que aquí viene el avioncito!! }:)

I'm not a lover of soup, but if I accept a few sips

Ah! pues mosca ¿eh? ..because the Cranky Gandalf have lotta tricks under his sleeves to make people reflect way beyond a few sips. }:)
