:/ i hope I am not guilty of what you're complaining about here.
I have been "buying" votes recently from those gamble bots you could call them.. in attempt to try to turn some of my SBD to SP with out going to market, and potentially making some more SBD to turn in SP when the ratio is right.
I am trying to figure out how to grow my profile so that, like you said here:
"I want people, here, to have the same opportunities I had. I want to see people succeed."
I also want that same end result! I encourage all my buddies to join Steemit, as they could offer so many unique angles of life to bring to Steemit. And I plan to vote all their posts to grow them as well. But still waiting on all to join.
A few have so far: @docroulston, @summerstime and @kelsnm. Gave your mentioned blogger Eddie an upvote and follow.
I can feel the weight of the "red flow" as it sinks and spreads out at the bottom and rebounds a bit from the collision. Reminds me of a drop of blood falling through still water reaching a hard bottom and spreading out.
I hope your next piece is called "Rising Up" because you won't let that douche bring you down.
I'm not down about it. Whatever right. Even those who are legitimately on the trending page are getting knocked down. Whatever right. I still encourage people too. Thanks for checking out that blog. He has no clue I mentioned him.
I use them to when a post I put work into is ignored, the problem is people over using them.
