I noticed something quite disturbing logging into Share2Steem to investigate why my IG post wasn't being shared to the blockchain.
The crux of the issue is the platform is being used not in a manner to bring people to the blockchain by adding value to the network but rather as a vehicle for something I call "Stake and Take".
It makes me question my struggles against blockchain abuse and why I do what I do. Can we change this culture or must we divorce ourselves from it? It's not something I take lightly and hopefully neither will you.
Thanks for watching me run my yap.

Had to re-record because my mic wasn't on!
Here is my "bountiful" Yukon Gold Potato harvest. Hopefully, better luck next year.
Btw remember to unvote the involved witnesses in this circlejerk.
I am a bit confused, is Share2Steem like another blogging platform, like palnet, busy, etc., or some other vehicle run by (?) for the purpose of (?) or supposed purpose of.
It's basically copy/paste whatever you write on microblogging sites such as Twitter, Instagram, etc. and paste them directly to Steem.
Share to steem is simple, just sign up on their website, https://share2steem.io link your twitter and or instagram to it from within their website. Uses a validation coe you paste into your twitter bio. Then once you are linked up simply post from twitter or instagram and add the#share2steem hashtag to your twitter or ig post. You can also use multiple hashtags i.e. the #palnet #weedcash hashtags, or whatever all at the same time from twiter or ig. Then it automatically copt/posts the same post on steemit, palnet and the others, up to 3 or 4 hashtags supported i believe. You will make a little extra steem posting through it because share2steem sometimes adds an up-vote, especially if you delegate to share2steem. I was using it, makes it really easy to post on multiple front ends!
here: hope this helps explain!

Just for the record, Anthony is talking about the behavior of people using @share2steem as spamming, not the parody account known as @spam2steem.
This needs to be the topvoted comment :P @regularowl
The owls were called by @mathowl
LOL. Thanx ;)

This was a good video to come back to after my 36 hour unpaid steem sabbatical..The apathy was surging so I needed to just drop it and take a timeout for some perspective.
I got kicked off the spam2steem discord at their inception, then days later they had their split and well the rest is easy to spell out. FAIL
The psychological impact of this limbo (not Lambo) period is PALpable. It's difficult to go put the big boy or girl pants on to clock into a gig you know has some seriously dysfunctional issues from top to bottom. Couple that with the realization that everyone knows things are broken and hence we're all just waiting for this next hardfork, and not that we're delusional to believe it's a, panacea, but it's at least change, makes for a tough time.
The if it ain't broke don't fix it stage is seemingly light years away, the moon isn't even in this solar system and we have a wheel barrow with bottle rocket engines as a vehicle.. Well, shit, there I go again, mom always said if I don't have anything nice to say don't say anything it all. I guess it's back to radio silence lol, the more I talk the more I alienate myself from the people I actually do respect here. Like you drawing a blank in your good whale list haha, uhhmmm there's well, maybe even the few that deserve a pat on the back also need a kick in the pants..
You get it. The problems are endemic to the culture of the platform which is not something that I reckon will be rectified by their proposed code changes.
The problem is there are hardly any stakeholders willing to make sacrifices for the greater good. What happened to mentality that brought about the whale experiment?
Oh but you got the folks bitching about muh misaligned incentives as a cop out from doing the right thing. Get that weak ass shit outta here!
Am I mad? Yeah, I'm mad as hell. Maybe I'll put it an application for SFR to get a StInc delegation. I mean it couldn't. Guess it would work better than me passive aggressively posting my frustrations..
But seems to me I'm not the only one. When the honest folk rise up and say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH? Reckon HF21 may be the straw that breaks the camel's back.
I am very wary about the convergent curve in particular. Like they want to quell the us peasants from grabbing our pitchforks and torches then letting some shit whales abusing have it... Before it happens. Some minority report shit right there.

🐬 don't forget your porpoise here.. Rants and passive aggressive venting are perfectly acceptable content in my book. Of course when it becomes a theme some constructive criticism is due, but your efforts have afforded you the respected right to go no filter anytime you feel like it.
Constant cheerleader content creates complacency.. Consonance conscious king

ugh... i remember them curating the @googlyprize every now and then and I thought that's nice of them... and now I just checked this:
http://steemreports.com/outgoing-votes-info/?account=creativecrypto&days=28
Thanks for the PSA... next time they'll get a little flag and some honest feedback... I guess that's all we can do at this point?!
P.S.: checking further... sndbox does 64% of it's voting towards creativecrypto, too... the majority of sandbox's stake (25.5k SP) comes from Top6 witness roelandp... is he running this shitshow or just blindly supporting it?! I've not made any of these direct mentions and I'll trust you're talking to the necessary folks already.
Be advised, larger stakeholders behind it. Not sure if they are the ornery type but right is right.

I was beginning to think I was the only legit person using Share2Steam to autopost my livestreams when I went live. I've since stopped delegation and unfollowed the voting trail. Think I'm going to stick with following Curie.
Thanks for taking action. Yes, you're not the only one. We do exist.🙂
Got a list of their delegators. Will be seeing what we can do as a community to change this.
Will be sharing soon.

That group will "curate" some of my art from time to time. I'll receive quite a few votes — worth practically nothing. Then I'll get a friendly message they were there.
I don't mind the votes but I think I'll get about 0.1% of what they're capable of. At first I felt special. After awhile it just feels like a ruse. I feel like they're just using my somewhat busy blog space as a place to advertise and appear important. They can do better. And if they did better, they would look better. Visiting me to offer a massive trail of votes worth nothing feels more like a slap in the face. Of course, if they read this, rather than changing their ways, they'll just cut me off completely. As I'm supposed to feel punished or something.
When one of my own self votes is worth more than double of a "curation trail" offering, you know something is wrong.
Anyway, thanks for the mention. I wasn't expecting that. Kudos man.
I believe when people see this and see that this user is on their autovote they will stop the autovote. Well I hope so at least.
Spam to Steem is something I very rarely vote on. When I see the tag I normally just move onto the next. Something rubbed me the wrong way from day 1 on seeing those posts. I think you have just shown me why. Great work once again!!!
Cheers
If it's spam to Steem why isn't MarkyMark going after them?
He's been busy with other stuff. And our SP is currently tied up by some other not-so-great actors.
It's what happens when you take on a bigger target or just a bigger bidder.
These posts are unbelievably low value.
Why did I write this in a comment when Incould have SpamtoSteem instead? Then I can ask everyone to resteem my spam.

That's the million dollar question. Or I guess $52k question at least.

Stake'N'Take - nice one! Describes it well. Some feel entitled to all kinds of things.
One of the arguments: "it's not illegal, right!?!"

Probably the only video worth watching. Thanks for getting it out there.
Thanks I appreciate the RS brother man!
