It's greed.

Greed is human nature. That can be guide to be harmless.

You are hurting this platform with your greed, and this is not good.

Here is a thread about why (in the comments). This steemian took it seriously and did some research, reflected and understood.

A very short summary:
-Buying a position in trending for content that doesn't deserve it makes a very bad image of steem.
-'Raping the reward pool like you do means that there is by far less for others.

I hope you have an interest in steem as a whole, but maybe you are just here to take short time advantage.

You may as well say I'm reminding steem, and I think it may make steem better in the long run.
As I mentioned in the post, much of the demands come from it. We are who buy steem, while most of content producers sell steem and reduce steem price.
Your comments are inefficient, and even wrong. It will be much more efficient to split the reward pool as I wrote, and the investors would be better to judge about using bit bots. That can raise the steem price, and make whole steem system better.
Origin bitcoin built on miner's greed and selfishness, but it can be used to establish a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. The point is to make rules, not to tell people what to do. I hope you can think about it, instead of being stubborn on the old thought.

Do you think your post deserves to be in trending?
Did you read the thread/link?

btw.: We don't make rules here (look up 'decentralized'), we just tell people what is good, and what sucks. And we up- and downvote.

I'd also be interested where you think I'm inefficient and wrong.

Yes.
Yes again. But my point of view is different from you. That can't convince me.
We don't make rules here, but there are rules here. We can affect that by voting, and cause the HF to change the rules. Codes are rules. I can't make rules myself, cos I'm not a top witness, and I can't code.
That's one of the reasons that I buy votes: try to inflence others and change the rule.
The dropping price, community activity already proved your throught is inefficient.

You are quite new here, with a reputation that you bought, and only one really stupid bidbot extravaganza.
Wonder when you'll find out that you:
Waste your steem.
Waste your time.
Waste the time of others.

Till then enjoy!

You the one abusing the bidbots, you have no right flagging me back on this one! Dumb move!

So, flags are part of the steem economy too, they are the part called reward disagreement!
