Hi! I am a content-detection robot. I found similar content that readers might be interested in:

I'm subscribed to your YouTube page as the user 'ChurchOfNotNothing' and I love your format and information.

Just thought that if you didn't already know about LBRY.....you may want to try that out or at least look into it. I've already uploaded my band's music videos to the platform.

That's a great suggestion thank you and yes I am keeping an eye on LBRY. I published an interview with LBRY founder Jeremy Kauffman on the 4th of November

I'm pretty sure you could talk to @Cheetah and get the bot to whitelist your stuff. Initially, I'm was amused by it's presence, but over time I'm finding it irritating, in the context of this content. I'd love to hear feedback on what dialogue you have with the bot owner too.

Is cheetah's purpose to spot plagiarism?

It is hard to say what it's intentions are at this point. The person running it does not take to requests kindly, but the bot has been broken for a while and right now the best thing to do is to flag it's posts.

See the comments section here if you want to see what trying to communicate with the creator gets you https://steemit.com/games/@jacobtothe/magic-the-gathering-commander-deck-overview-6

I have see other users complain for much longer than I had been https://steemit.com/cheetah/@lifeworship/cheetah-does-more-harm-than-good-x-5

Bonus link with more attempts to just try and communicate about this topic, look at the comments section here https://steemit.com/taskmanager/@taskmanager/the-daily-task-manager-12-06-2016-tonight-s-posts-that-pay-you

Just keep flagging the cheetah's posts when it is erroneous, which is unfortunately more than it should be, just check the profile of the account and see it's comments and see the replies from other users who should not be hit by the bot.

That is one purpose. When you visit the @cheetah blog it has a post describing its function and the users who are running it. I can't see why they couldn't whitelist your posts and I'm hopeful it would advance your cause on Steemit.

I have no problems with advertisements from the publisher for a specific product (I.e. your dash advert); I run my own DNS adblock to stop the monolithic 3rd-party advertisers whom populate the internet and news media websites with click-bait and spam the internet in an attempt to data mine all users - their goal is not selling a specific product but obtaining as much user data as possible.

Adblocking these "advertising" companies also can help secure your network and tremendously speed up webbrowsing.

I just noticed you are using 5 tags. I believe there is a bug with using 5 tags and it is recommended to only use 4 for now as a workaround. I wish I could give you a link to verify, but finding stuff on Steemit is not optimal atm. :-)

What's the danger in using 5 tags mate?

It's a known bug in Steemit’s code at the moment. If you use all five possible tags, then your post will only appear on the first tag’s list, but not in the following four tags’ categories. If you only use four tags, your post will appear in all of the four tags’ lists on Steemit. It’s a known bug and it’s being worked upon. Until it’s fixed, however, it’s recommended to only use 4 tags out of 5, to increase the exposure on Steemit.

I hope it answers your question.

Perfect explanation. Upvoted. Thank you.

If you use 5 tags, your post will only show up for the first tag. If you use 4 tags, your post will show for all 4 tags.
That's my understanding of the bug. You can test it yourself. I haven't tested it. I just assumed it was a correctly identified bug.

Perfect explanation. Upvoted. Thank you.

Firstly, thank you @marketingmonk for all your lucid presentations over a complex array of subjects comprising blockchain technology for the uninitiated.

Nevertheless, in this instance, regarding advertisers and your opinion and strategy for remunerating content producers by viewing their advertiser content - that is not an agreement I have made or chosen, nor wish to - I am in agreement with the principal of rewarding valued content, but need to be given an option (as you yourself offer on your portals) to "pay" in a voluntarily chosen way, not dictated by advertisers [expletive alert] who I deem as mind raping motherfuckers [/expletive alert] - old paradigm, no thank you, hence adblockers - thus we are an evolving process (though I concur with @hohhle re sponsored content you stand by.)

Meanwhile, I will continue to upvote your content to that end (and soon as I figure out which wallet handles diverse coins securely and easily for the relative novice, and how to get some cryptocurrency flow going myself, I will be contributing to valued content in that way too.)

Steem on!

Good comment :)
