I vote 3-4 of my posts a week and unlike with you, the people i vote, i vote them because i like their content or am appreciative of their engagement.
The whole group of people i vote, vote me back for about 4-5% of my total payouts.
... And only maybe 5-6 out of 50 of those i vote even vote me back.
There is not a sliver of circlejerking in my stats.
You on the other hand admit it. You admit that what youre doing is shitty and you acknowledge that you vote so you can get voted back.
Be honest... Do you vote large stake holders to get voted back? Do you trade votes?
yea i do admit it and see nothing wrong with it. I also manually curate over 20-30 posts a day and never get a vote back. I traded votes with people like exyle without even watching his videos.....i have watched HUNDREDS of his videos and i trust him to provide original quality content that benifits everyone. I have been here dam near from the beginning supporting most every project to help this whole thing get started. I owned steem before people like you even heard of crypto. Like i said, spend all your down votes on my posts if you don't like what i do, its your stake, your vote and your right......I will do the same. My stats on steemworld don't lie and they prove that i have given much, much, much more to Steem Token than what i have taken from it respectively. My goal is to spread the token far and wide but also to collect many to power up and help solidify the market. I'll keep on plugging along here and if you feel you need to downvote....do what you gotta do. I personally think Steem needs a million ways to earn it from bots, to gambling, to games, loans, posting, curating, commenting and everything else you can think of. Everyone here has their own way to skin the cat so to speak, their own way to earn steem. It's all limited by their own votes and they earned that right. I bought and paid for my stake and so did others. People are gonna do what they wanna do no matter how much of a Robbinhood you are. I am in for the long haul, powered up for the long haul so my #1 goal is to help Steem. I feel i am doing LOTS of that as well as trading just a couple of my votes with others who have similar interest. A downvote from a person like you means more to me than a centralized one from OCD because you don't have the luxury of delegated SP to the tune of almost 4m tokens. Someday i will ONLY curate here and be the most benevolent person here but that day is not here yet. Today is the time when we need good consistant CONTENT that give people a reason to read and join. You might not like my content but i have lots of followers and viewers who really enjoy what i do. Have you ever made a video that was viewed by 40k people? I never did until i did. I'll admit that 40k is nothing really but it is a little something that has helped do my little part to help get Steem off the ground. I been involved in Crypto since 8.00 BTC in 2011. I have supported every project here just to help things get off the ground....i did not make "bad investments" as you so easily wan't to jab about. You are a Johnny come lately here who has not even been invested for more than a year here. Dont get me wrong, we need you, and many many many others like you....and when that happens.....well you just outta hope your one my short list of voting benevolence.
Funny thing is....i voted you right? Why? Because one you mentioned me and i think its a valuable conversation to continue to have here on Steemit. I don't take it personal. Then i took lots of time out of my day to give you two well thought responses with also promotes the conversation that you thought of so much as to write about it here and post it. I am doing EXACTLY what you want which is get this out in the open and talk about it with a Steem Whale but you cant even give my effort a 1% vote in the comments section?????????? Sooooo Funny! Did i not EARN something in your eyes or did you not think my comment was good? I don't like your opinion but i still voted it because i respect it and the time you took. You dont like my opinion but kicked my comment in the gutter like it was nothing. People just like YOU are the reason i use 4-5 votes a day to "circle jerk" and will continue to do so.
This has nothing to do with you voting me. Thats not the topic of this post.
The topic is the vote trading youre doing and why thats detrimental to Steem.
Do you seriously believe that "vote for vote" is a system that should be encouraged?
What if everyone started doing "vote for vote"?
What would the platform look like?
Do you think thats a good system?
Ill give you the vote when i feel like it, when my VP recovers or when i find time. I vote almost 100% of those that engage with my posts as seen in all my previous posts. Me not voting you right away is a pretty silly thing to object to.
You circle jerk because i didnt vote your comment at the time you thought i should?
How silly is that?
Ill repeat again.
If you admit to circle jerking and you would accept that it would suck for steem if everyone would start doing "vote for vote", why do you do it?
Youre not as bad as Slowwalker but you are a part of his CJ group.
Why do it? Why risk downvotes? Why damage your reputation and become a talking point in the antiabuse community? And i can tell you for a fact that a number of whales are discussing this circle jerk Slowwalker has going on. Why act in a way that is detrimental to the platform?
All that when you have 50% curation right now.
