Not sure when did the concept of overrewarded came in. I have seen pics of flowers gaining hundreds of $. So how come a game review deserve lower rewards. I can understand if gaming Dapps is not someone's cup of tea, but downvoting it just for that reason doesn't make sense. WOW, a lot has changed after my last post here! So much tribalism and maximalism is not gonna help Steem moon. I used to post on Steem before any where else, but now it seems Steem is not that welcoming if you are not Steem maximalist.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Oh, people are gonna downvote now because they now have subsidized flags.
Trending your posts now is a much more dangerous endeavor than before.
Wow, that's strange. I am not sure why they want to downvote content just to utilize their subsidized flags. I mean that's just demotivating to post any content in the first place.
People are tired of bought votes on trending. So...
Ah okay, got it. So main issue is with using bidbots and not with my content. Thanks for explaining.
Oh no Sir. They want you to use the bots! They are the ones running them. So send as much money as you can to the bid bots. Unfortunately there is a catch. After you do this they will rob back money earned by the vote which you paid for, and which they TOOK money from you to give to you those votes.. and then will blame you for using the bots which they run, and profit from. Remember only they can earn money, not you. You can always just send them money transfers direct to their personal wallets.. then after that go in your kitchen and get a big heavy can of soup, or better yet go out into your garage and get the heaviest largest bucket of paint.. and then you will want to drop it from very high up in the air.. onto your foot.. but don't stop there! Pick it up and do it to the other foot!!
That is about the size of using their services.
Cheers!
Koo koo Koo koo
Look at this silly twat making manual comments. Someone has too much time on their hands!!
The bidbots are the reason for the flak. Seems people have a hard time explaining that.
You figured on this page as one the largest rewards made by bidbot votes: https://steemwhales.com/clean-trending/
I won't downvote you this time, seems you suffered enough, but I did make this link-image to explain why I am using my downvote (and I plan to do so against posts like this). Hopefully it gets the message through a bit better. Liked your post :) Cheers.
Well, funny that my post trended with 30 SBD. Who knew that trending would become a nightmare. So I get it that bidbots are no-no coz people believe that policing behaviors on Steemit will help Steem. What's the best way for a minnow like me to get attention to my posts without bid bots? I don't want to work on a post just to see it vanish into darkness. Do u guys also downvote when someone uses steemit promoted feature?
I am earning jack shit and I am not a whale. The Steem Power I have have been saved from three years of hard work. Not sure what you should do, but I know that the bidbots have succeeded in creating an extra layer of expense and that those Steem simply vanishes from the system. Neither you nor I earn anything from that.
I'm an artist and always wanted to get away from institutions that with little effort took a very large percentage of my work - art dealers charge 50% because they have prevented the artists from making sales directly (artists are fools if you didn't know).
The promoted feature burns the Steem and that way it gives it back to the community... Sadly it never worked.
Because of the way the inflation system and bidbots works and was being used.
This has changed since some days ago, we now have a downvote system, everyone gets 2 downvotes per day, most of the community is using them on posts that dry the reward pool out of inflation, so, those pics of flowers gaining hundreads of $ would be insta downvoted with this new system.
If you understand how the reward pool system/inflation system works you will understand why those pictures getting hundreads of dollars is very bad for the whole STEEM ecosystem.
With this I do agree like I said, all types of content should be allowed on STEEM, no matter what content we are talking about, that's why I commented under and gave my opinion.
You got downvoted mostly because of the bidbot usage, if you don't use any bidbots or use them but not by upvoting your own posts to hundreads of dollars I think you won't run into any problems.
What this new system is doing is that it is trying to improve the distribution of inflation, which is finite. If you really like STEEM long-term I'm sure you will understand that an improved system of payout distribution will make the whole ecosystem and content on the platform better.
Although, we really don't know how things will turn out, if this system is better or not... let's wait and see
PS: I did like your post and I am considering playing the game.
I didn't upvote my post to dollars. Maybe just a cent. But I get it that now I shouldn't use bit bots even though they keep running as usual. The money is eventually flowing in the Steem ecosystem anyways. But whatever, if community thinks that it will help Steem improve then so be it.
Between, thanks for liking my post.
