RE: My Success Story! #steemitultimatechallenge #4 @dobartim
I did not only achieve my early retirement but also got the freedom and exciting life due to Steemit.
I have no problem using bid bots if someone pays for such a service however this story can not be true and create desire for newbies that are not realistic.
Early retirement thanks to Steemit within 2 months checking her wallet is a lie and should not be tolerated - hope some of the bot owners will remove their vote on that.
Upvoted comment for more visibility
I fully agree with every word you said and hope some of the bot owners will reconsider their decision. It really draws a false image of Steem.
I hope so too - it is I think also not easy for them (the bot owners) to blacklist people - some users do scam like stuff but it is hard to find 100% proof of it - let us see. I have some people now I will keep an Eye on, not that I can change a lot but I will watch and scan. Fingers crossed - in this case I am in favour of removing the votes for sure - not in all as you know but this is clearly something that shall NEVER EVER be in trending!
Here is another post:

$350 for 7 lines of text and one photo!
If you don’t have ‘ARTISTIC EYE’, you will not like my post! Only Those ‘WHO APPRRECIATES ART, ARE WELCOME’! You, you are welcome ‘ONLY’ in my site, if you appreciate ‘ART & CREATIVITY’, or you can go somewhere else!
There is one problem:
Reward pool is not unlimited. If you get more for 7 lines of text and one photo, other quality posts get less!
This is reason for flag. I think that your post is not worth $350, so I flagged it.
Absolutely not! My post is worth a Thousand Words and it’s priceless!
Beauty is on the eye of the beholder! You don't get to decide what your post is worth, the community does. So if someone wants to use up their voting power to upvote you they are free to do so just as they are free to use up said voting power to flag you if they think your post is not deserving of such high rewards. No need to feel bad. You post content on here for others to judge.
Perfect💯
Hello, have been following your posts and i like your post,you are very creactive, I don't know, but i would like to know you more, I'm here to make friends and be part of Steemit family.
Wonderful you are always welcome to be part of Steemit family! But beware, don’t let the ‘Bigot Society’ (the people who’s here in my site now who is trying scare you! You always have something to share that wholesome and we all will support you!
ok MA, would be so grateful to see support and encouragement from you. one love
Thank you!
We need bid limits.
No bid limits are needed, just flag it due to "Disagreement on rewards".
Wrong approach. We're not responsible for the lack of control and missing quality management in vote trading. I don't just disagree on rewards here, I report abuse. That's a huge difference.
Welcome to steemit btw, just saw that you haven't published any blog posts in the network so far.
Flagging uses voting power. I hate wasting voting power on people doing shitty things, but I've had enough.
You mean, flagging wastes voting power for up-voting yourself?

USE YOUR OWN SITES TO COMMENT ON MY POSTS! NOT IN MY SITE! Go to STEEMIT BLOG! DONT MESS THE POSTIVENESS of MY SITE!
LOL My vote is worth 9 cents. Yeah. I upvote myself to make 9 whole cents. That's me fighting and scratching to make much at all while people like this walk away with the reward pool.
I even upvoted you and I can't even counter @aidasfg7's flag.
But you want to capitalize on my post to make you money on your voting yourself! Good tactics, that’s what you ‘Bigot Society’ call it!
I don't understand how bid limits could solve this problem. Wouldn't the abusers create more accounts to reach their targets then?
Introducing bidding limits would put large accounts at a disadvantage. We don't want anyone to have an unfair advantage, but putting someone at an unfair disadvantage doesn't solve the problem either.
That only punishes honest whales who wouldn't work their way around that.
Moreover, if you see a whale sell-off due to the bid limits, the rewards you receive from the system won't be worth much.
In addition to that, you need 51% Steem Power to implement that idea. Do you really think that people having that kind of Steem Power are going to agree with their bids getting limited?
dear surfermarly, if you spend this much time to help newbies, and the new members of STEEMIT,
I think Steemit would be a better place. Let's work together!
Me parece excelente tu propuesta esto lograria una mayor oportunidad para los novatos y nuevos en la plataforma @aidasfg7
Muchas Gracias!
If you are concerned with helping newbies, then why are you not upvoting newbies, rather than self upvoting your own comments???
Whole bunch of newbies would love a $1 upvote. You would literally make their week. but instead @aidasfg you currently (as I write this) are sitting at a 39.86 % self upvote.
while @surfermarly is sitting on a meager 9.50 % self upvote.
Now which one of these looks like they are trying to help Newbies? One has a lot more color and is spread around a bit more. While the other one has 105 self upvotes? HMMM is that the newbie helper?
I don't care if you are self upvoting, I don't care if you are paying for votes. But don't you dare stand on a Pedestal and act "holier-than-thou" saying others should help out with newbies. You are a total hypocrite, stop lying and be honest with yourself and everyone for a minute.
Sorry to say, but your brain is limited!
That may be. But at least it's an honest one. Have a lovely day :)
Look at you! YOU’RE EVEN RIDING ON MY POST TO MAKE MONEY! UPVOTING yourselves in a ‘PRETENSE’ to slander other People and voting for yourselves!
you are right sir
You are so Jealous of my ‘SUCCESS’ Story, i can see that! And even tell me of my ‘RETIREMENT’ level, which is subjective! Your retirement level and mine are so different! Your retirement is ‘MONEY’, and it does not even complete your life! ‘LOOK at Yourselves’, you’re are ‘BIGOTS’ to SUCCESS of others! ‘WAKE UP and HELP PEOPLE WHO ARE IN NEED! Not DISCOURAGE THEM TO HAVE HOPE AND A FUTURE! If you’ve more MONEY, You can Come and Join me help Others! I would be glad! Thank you!
You are talking to me? Jealous of your success - me? lol good one.
This is the only real negative I see on this platform. Any other problems are rather trivial, but like you say, this could get someone hurt.
I have to agree with @uwelang and I am very glad you are talking about this because I believe your voice is likely to be heard.
I noticed that the money she spent on bots is more than the return of what she got
But the return comes out of the reward pool which = less payout for everyone else. This is the inherent evil of pay to play upvote bots. Only the owners of said bots win, while the rest of us get to fight over the remaining piece of the pie. Also they get massive reputation boosts. Rep in it's own way (not fully in reality) means more than Steem.
now that you mentioned it. i feel more informed about the system here on this platform. thanks for the input.
nice one
i wanna to work on steemit...i m new here...plz help me to achieve somethinks as like you...
I've seen anything quite like her bid-bot use for this post....and I've seen some abuse on here in my time. Still, she's got Jesus on her side, or at least her interpretation of it.
Unfortunately if someone's got 'god on their side' there's unlikely to be much chance of reasoning with them!
Believe me, she doesn't know Jesus. It's just a ruse to get more money. Just like the TV Evangelists, they are only concerned with the money, not Jesus himself.
