it's the rules of the game. Steem doesn't have a proper promotion system so ppl buy upvotes to promote themselves. The only problem I see is that ppl feel they can't make money on Steem w/o having to buy votes. Jerry is just using the system as created.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
we get to choose the rules of the system lmao. So "Jerry is just using the system as created.", just means "As long as we allow Jerry to operate in this way its completely fine"
Agree 100%
Jerry invests % of what he earn back in steemit. He promote the network with advertising. I visit this post from twitter. Also this article proves how well he knows steemit and what is better for the network than someone knowing it well having the money and ideas to promote it? The Richer Jerry got, the better steemit will become! He's a true steemhead. Keep it up man!
Maybe
How does a post stating steemit is better than bitcoin prove anything?
They're all going to zero anyway.
I like boobs
This escalated quickly.
Jerry invests less than crap into @steemit . He pays to the bots to promote his low quality posts. How is paying to bots an investment in Steemit ?? Are the bots
actively looking for good quality content? Are the bots creating content? How are the bots participating in a positive manner in here, other than upvoting all the rubbish ?? Not to mention jerry jerry uses his own bot to promote himself. How is that good character ??
I promote myself writing stupid comments like "I like boobs"
I like boobs
See?
haha
I CAN DIG IT BRO LOL
Agree 100%!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know about that...I only know that I like boobs
But do you really??? I don't think you're into boobs.
lol
If youre a big fat man im a tittie fan and i'd like to see yours to!
Steem in 2021

Agree 77.35%
Very true, i just joined Steemit this year and it feels really bad if you put hard work into a post and nobody can even see the post if you dont use bots. I really feel i have to use bots just so my post have more exposure and more ppl will see it.... It does feel the system is kinda flawed no? I hope this will be different in the future... And yes, insane money made with his post lol, i wish i would only get 10% of that :)
bcs of people like jerry all the good content is drowned into the pile of rubbish promoted into the trending page .
Hey @baloo! Congratulations on using your voting power. I just checked up on you on steemnow.com. Even at a reputation of 49, you are still making a difference.
This is not using the system as created; but it's abusing the system, which it wasn't created for people to pay tons of money to advertise. It was created to incentivise and encourage it's users to create good quality content . Which is not the case with this post .
Bots have been around for ages and remove the ability of good quality content to get to the top. It hasn’t been like that since before I joined last year.
sadly the people who are all for the abuse of the system, do not realize how they are killing the future of the currency. Several people on this thread notice the flaws; and those flaws should not be 'defended', but are, by others who 'also' are exploiting and abusing the system.
People who rob banks don't snitch on other bank robbers....
the system is rigged....but even if people buy votes, steem is actually superior to all the other cryptos
These cocksuckers are supposed to be using the FUCKING PROMOTED TAB at the top for shit like this. NOT USING BID BOTS to abuse steemit!!!!
Hmm would you say my haiku contest isn't good quality content? What about the haikus it produces?
If it yields creativity and brings something new to the table, then yes, it brings some value to the community . Now it's up to you whether you maintain or increase the quality of it or not .
Cool. Just checkin' y'all!
Since all the data is available on the blockchain, someone could make alternative site which filters all the promoted posts automatically.
Totally agree. The Steem developers have grossly neglected probably the single most important aspect of the Steem economy which is the promotions and advertising feature. This feature needs developing much further.
I wish I could buy a few votes, in my different posts, I can only achieve 1 or 2 votes hehehehe
I can't promise I'll upvote any of your posts, but I upvote commenters on my posts, and I'm more generous than some.
You're always welcome on my page.
Thank you so much. I am follow you now.
I know how you feel, actually most of the people here are in your situation unfortunately...
And it will continue that way because with Steem, the money goes to those who already hold the most money!
Sad but truth
well the thing is, the more steem someone holds, the more steempower they have, so they basically see self-voting or delegating/selling their votes to a vote bot service as getting a return on their investment. Then they plough their sbd/steem rewards into bots to gain further profits. Steem is just like any other crypto at the end of the day where the big boys are looking for big returns.
Yes, that is the sad truth. Greetings.
Hey @juancarlos! I just checked up on you on steemnow.com. Even at a reputation of 44, you are still making a difference by voting on quality content. Once you start gaining more steem, you can learn how to regulate your voting in a measurable way.
You're right, I have no idea how to use my vote,
I need to learn it.
I 'think' that is a bot; saw it comment on a few other people with literally the same text ....
for sure it's like that, a bot that recognizes what your level of reputation or voting power is
It's not just a feeling. It's a fact.
I don't buy votes (not here for the big profit) and I make about 3 Steem a month. That is not what I would call “making money”. You probably make more with each self upvoted posting. But my self upvotes are worth Ȿ 0.01 which get's rounded down to zero after seven days.
You have joined in 2016 when opportunity was ample and competition low. These times are over. “Isn't that a pyramid scheme?“ I was asked yesterday. That's a hard hitting question.
I for one have a Minds account as well because Minds is only adding crypto right now. At Minds I am the first generation early adaptor.
I didn't know Minds is adding a cryptocurrency, that's very interesting. Frankly Reddit and Slashdot and even Facebook and Google have been in that position for years where they could do that but I suppose it can be legally difficult to navigate that as a corporation. Besides of course raking in all that money for themselves, why would they give you some? I mean you are only the one generating all the worth of their platform after all.
"It's the rules of the game"...but the game itself ain't that clean, huh?
.
I am agree too!!!!!
In this case, one is to promote yourself and another thing is to buy 2k rewards in votes. This is a little extreme promotion, don't you think? :))
100 % True
Exactly! You know he buys upvotes...buyer beware. Skepticism should be as second nature as cynicism in this age, just exercise it and move on!
i like the post and i want to steem to be #1 cryptocurrency
true @ashe-oro It is the way to facilitate the visualization of your publication, but you must invest, even if what @berniesanders says is true, but more truth is that without the healing bots, you can not have more votes.
okay so they created it then!
Fully agree. If people are upset/jealous that others are using a bot feel free to create your own and attempt to make it successful. Successful bots deserve their earnings.
THEY DO HAVE A PROMOTION SYSTEM. Those mother fuckers CHOOSE NOT to use it. They RATHER ABUSE the system & not play the game right!!!! SEE THAT PROMOTED TAB at the top right. That is WHERE THOSE COCKSUCKERS are supposed to be putting this shit at.
Agree
the vote bots get more income over time they will become powerful.
Yes, True
How is this different than every single other platform out there?
I fully Agreed!
oww again it still seems One (Me now) commented to be upvoted!
That is very judgmental (imo). I don't think Jerry's intent is to make #Steemit look like a scam or that his success and continual commitment is disgusting.
With all systems the rules of the game are that, the rules. Yes there are ways to upgrade, evolve and improve and I advocate, as many of us know, that Steemit is an emerging technology.
Let's celebrate what we like instead of bashing what we judge?
Cheers!
