Is it because we have people like @fulltimegeek spamming nonsense? Or because I gave out more votes in the last week than you ever have? Missing your point.

You know better than me.

Depends on what people look at. The activity is pretty correlated to crypto price but EOS seems to be doing okay.

I don't think people care about spam nearly as much as shitposting or overall attitude towards others but I am just one person.

You have the bird's-eye view. I'm just a person in the trenches not calling grandmothers cunts (edit I actually believed you called her granddaughter a cunt, right?) ;) (would you say that helps or hurts?)

*edit: it was a semi-serious question and not one I expected a response from someone as obviously busy as yourself.

I am not her grandmother. Although yes I am one. Lots of my followers call me MamaBear. Like a nickname. so here is what he sent me this time.
That you're a cunt? You're obviously related to that twat above, so seems likely you are... Gotta call a spade a spade...
such a wonderful Steemian he is..dont you think. I personally am weary of all this shit. Takes a lot of something to stand tall and then well just walk away. Like lots of people are. Who needs this trash.

I achieved my goal with that comment. If you don’t see that, I’m not sure what to tell you.

Driving away people who NEVER buy steem and simply post and dump seems like a good strategy to me. I generally do not bother those who have purchased a decent amount of Steem, feel free to DYOR on that one.

What should people buy Steem with? Dollars and what if they do not have any. There are thousands of people posting garbage who never buy Steem. Why are you not driving them away. Get busy

If they don’t have any, I suggest they learn their place and not fuck with those of us who will demolish them.

I say, if you can’t take the heat, stay out of the kitchen. EVERY account listed below couldn’t take the heat and didn’t know their place. That’s not my fault.

If you troll me or act like a complete piece of shit, and can’t defend yourself, you’re fucked.

You were just a worthless pawn in a much larger game and you don’t even realize it. My comment to you achieved EXACTLY what I was expecting. If you can’t understand that, you need to open your eyes.

Well I do not know you, have never followed you or any of your followers, I have never commented on anything you ever wrote or posted. I never heard of you until the first day you wrote what you did on my post. So..I never trolled you. I have never acted like a piece of shit on Steemit. Not sure what Red Fish and Minnows could defend themselves with. I have never fucked with you or anyone else on Steemit. I see you need to win on here. So ...you have.

I do not need Steem or Steemit or Steem Dollars or Cyrpto for that matter to validate me or who I am and none of them effect my $$$ bottom line. Smart women finish rich. Which I might say has nothing to do with Crypto

so in otherwords, you are picking on the wrong person. I DON'T CARE. My life is not around Steemit. If you want to destroy someone, there are plenty out there.

You've handled this obscene harassment with dignity and grace @marionbowes, I'm proud of you, and I know you will inspire a lot of others who have dealt with his crap in the past, or will in the future.

If everyone hits that mute button, we make beanie disappear. What's he gonna do, flag everyone? He's too greedy for that even if he could afford it. Just shun him. Like any tribe would.

Buy with what? They already lost 97% of their money on Steem. Isn't the promise of Steem that you can contribute and earn? (Promise maybe, definitely not reality.)

At this point, I respect anyone who participates (except for spam and the like). But I think investing hard-earned money into it is malinvestment for most people.

Do you really think any of the content posted on this site is worth any $? It’s 99.9% trash nobody would pay for.

Not trying to be snarky, but you answered your question. Yes, some of the content posted here is worth money -- even if it's 0.1%. I'm surprised the authors post it here when it would be much easier to monetize a site they control -- without donating their efforts to a blockchain.

Then again, how many sites do you follow where you would pay for content? Maybe 0.1%?

So maybe Steem is average. Not great. Just average.

Content is not necessarily what is supposed to be valued here: anyone can read the content posted on this blockchain for free - one doesn't even need an account for that. Content is a materialization of engagement and a vehicle for community building. The value is in the (size of community + strength of relationships + intensity of interactions). The steem blockchain is about a lot more than content. Content is only the first application which has been implemented on it. Paying for open-source software (Utopian) is another. Steemmonsters.com is a third (not about content). Payments and "money" transfers (for instance through steemwallet) yet another ... Of course it would be much better if there had been high quality content too. But driving away bad content is doing nothing to bring high quality content.

that is what I said. buy with what and why should we be penalized if we do not buy. where is that rule written when you sign up for Steemit.

Totally agree. "Pay to play" only works when you get something in return. Paying for Steem with USD is a good way to lose for most people -- for some, it might be an interesting speculative mood. Most people will keep on doing "Free" (which is really giving away personal data) instead of gamble their money.

A genuinely fair point.

I’d leave @fulltimegeek alone too if he wasn’t constantly doing dumb shit. This chain is supposed to be “proof of brain”, spamming @proboards trash is the exact opposite of anything to do with a brain.

That is a shameful lie and no one needs to go far to see that, since you down voted my comment (i.e. you bothered me) a few lines above. As someone who DHOR you can easily calculate that I have bought several tens of thousands of euros worth of STEEM. Of course you can claim that that is not "decent enough". Or that you qualified your statement with "generally". I don't quite see how that is not a shame, but in the end who cares ?

Did I drive you away? Doesn't look like it. So again, re-read my comment and you'll see yours makes absolutely no sense.

You said "I generally do not bother ..." "Bother" is equivalent to "driving away" for you? What I can say is that you weren't encouraging either.

(Looks around)

Who the fuck are you talking to?

Shut the fuck up moron. You’re making yourself look regarded, even to the retards.

Says the guy who has done nothing but make empty threats. You’re not even a good troll, weak bitch.

There is no such thing as pre-mined steem. Anyone could have mined when I did. Goddamn you’re retarded, you must have fallen right outta your moms cavern onto your head eh?
