Doing stupid things for a vote...

in #humor7 years ago (edited)



For those who don't know me on Steemit, there was a time where I tried to write funny stories. For different reasons, I found it difficult to continue with my blog, and little by little I stopped writing. Now, that I have more time, I decided to take up my writings and when I came back, I found this...

Far away were the times, where to get a vote you had to interact, create communities and pray, that a whale take pity on your situation. At that time, the vote of a whale was like an orgasm. I updated the blog every 15 seconds, imploring that click of someone with a lot of SP.

For those who don't know, by March of 2017, the Steem had a value of $0.23. Those that we published at that time, we were the real passionate of this platform, because we were in the worst moments of Steemit. Only a few benefited, and most of us published for pure pleasure. Although, there was always the illusion that a whale came across our post, and when that happened, it was night of celebrations...

For this and seeing the current moment in which we are, I felt with certain rights and decided not to fall into the influence of these bots to get votes. I had something to invent, to avoid having to pay and at the same time, to have visibility. Sure of my decision, I started a campaign to attract the votes of these bots, without having to pay anything.

The first bot that I wrote was to @appreciator:

My first attempt, it was not productive. As you can see, this was the result of my message...

With my illusion intact, I decided to continue with my plan. And I wrote to @postpromoter:

A total failure my second attempt, it seems that these bots are not looking for love and are only interested in money. The result was this...

They were not going to beat me, I was just starting and I had to insist to achieve my goal. I wrote to @upme:

upme.jpg



It didn't work either, and little by little I was feeling defeated. I wasn't having the results I expected, but well...

I had my last attempt with @buildawhale:

As you can imagine, it didn't work. So, for the failure of my experiment, I have made a second decision: I'm not happy, with having in my post, only comments from my mother, such as:

Beautiful post, my dear son. I'm proud of you, you are the sun that floods my life...

Fuck it! I will pay for bots and thus claim the success and glory that I deserve. See you on the moon, guys!

It seems you got a $54.0333 upvote from @madpuppy at the last minute before the payout. (18.49h) and this comment is to make everyone aware.

Please follow @abusereports for additional reports of potential reward pool abuse. Thank you.

FUCK! It's just humor, I hope they do not take it seriously...

last year i was miserable and depressed but this year i decided to turn that shit around so now i’m depressed and miserable
:p

wow ....this is post is a veery good

Good one.
English very is difficult.

Note: When turning shit around, you might just turn 360 and shit just gets worse D:

Tinchooooo, some posts like these is what is missed in steemit, a little bit of humor is basic!!

Orgiessssssss for votingggg hahaha

Haha, thank you dear manu. I'm glad you liked it and that's what I notice in the trending. There is not a single funny post, so I take advantage of the opportunity: D

I am having the hardest time finding people who actually write funny stuff, because thats what I do. But now its just a bunch of people putting up memes and giphs. I want to hear embarrassing stories and hilarious moments that people ran into!

Orgiessssssss for votingggg hahaha

Why did we actually never do that at Steemfest...?
Or was I just at the wrong hotel? :-D

wrong hotel

lol - I knew it!!

SF3? I´m innnn and I´m sure tincho as well :-)

It's gonna be la bomba :-D

haha, you bet

I like him humor it very is funny.

Tincho's post was the funniest one I had read in these past two weeks!

Wow, I admire your dedication to humor :) Because since you sent ...
buildawhale 50 SBD
postpromoter 50 SBD
upme 50 SBD
appreciator 50 SBD
...it's quite a costly joke :) But yeah that was a funny read :)

Not by me, Iol'd.

Thanks and anyway, I paid for a vote of buildawhale. Please, show me your love, haha...

Thanks for sharing truly Speaking a lot of people still do that i myself have done it , its depressing to post something of value and you get no upvotes

oh.. pls no... It made my day lol 😁

So what you are saying is you are buying upvote with bots..

Hahaha! I will flag you! I mean I will raise a white flag and surrender. It's the funniest post I read today. You got me!

yeah i have the same feeling except paying the bots is exactly that pay 5 SBD and receive a 4.75 SBD vote how do you get ahead? Or your really lucky:)))

quit it with the thumbs

The appreciator should have appreciated your persistency :D , and postpromoter should not have ignored your wonderful offer :P
Nice, funny post, lol
Now serious: I have stopped using these bots; I may use them occasionally, however. I found that the ebst time to use a bot is when the price of Steem is rising. That is when you would profit most from the bot; Also, only a handful of bots are good, especially, the one you mentioned.

It was pretty stupid, but I laughed.
https://steemit.com/funny/@themarkymark/wtf-is-this-nonsense

I run @buildawhale if you didn't know.

LOL... You were really fast, it was part of my post. I'm glad that my post has caused you a smile...

LMFAOOOOO....
I run database query from steemdata.com based on @themarkymark post to find you @tincho funny ass

haha really happy that you liked, that was my intention. I hope no one was offended, my goal was just to put some humor...

Fuucck, I got jebaited, thought it was real das why I commented on @themarkymark's post hahahaha. Should've posted that on april fools 🤣🤣🤣.

I would have never thought there was someone checking on random memos sent to vote bots . I'm glad there is and he has a sense of humor!
@tincho, I think this is even better than the vote

That 27 year old sister with the 120 cm bum, just too good to be true :)

To the Moon!!!...:)...

Haha that is so funny ! Selling your sister was epic ! 😂😂😂
But it is damn true . Hope those whales visit us too thou 😊😊😊

I'm glad you liked it! My idea was to put a little humor to all this. Have a good day!

All too funny, yeah always seems like a hit or miss, and sometimes having a guaranteed vote that has some pull behind it can be helpful!

Hello friend, I started in June of 2017 and I can say that it is as you say, in fact only twice I got whale votes. Anyway, everything in life changes and I think we have to adapt as Darwin Hahaha said. Upvoted, very good post.

We agree, Darwin was always right, we will have to adapt :p

Bots kind of defeat the purpose of Steemit... It was supposed to be a way to get paid for quality content. If this goes on, the price will drop.

bots have turned black hat gaming the system into a mainstream accepted practice....abouttoexplode.jpg

But the reality is it essentially turning SteamIt into a spin zone of garbage for people mostly promoting cryptocurrency.

I have an 3 part article talking about this and other issues...
Take a look at part 1:

Your on your way up upgraph.jpg

pickfruit.jpgJust start collecting a bunch of rotten tomatoes to throw down at everyone once your up there!

And you will be as good as someone else we know without a sense of humor in high places!

I just sprinkled a whole bunch of upvotes with Steampower behind on alot of these replies....

I'm not a whale just a grouper working his way up to the food chain!

Hahaha thats funny

Where's @coquiunlimited to ax me now?!!

😈😈😈😈😈

Thanks for hanging in there through the 0.23 times.

Also thanks for keeping an sense of humor, and being a good son to a proud mother, I see how posts like this keep the mom comments coming.

Also baring in mind that you were here for the 0.23 times, sending those bots 0.001 was super generous of you, in historical terms.
:-p

Haha I sorry for my mother, I put her in this story only as an additive.

You're right, I can say that I was in the worst moments of steemit and I stayed like a rock. I think we deserve recognition and those 0.001 were worth their purpose...

i just recognized you....bronxcheer.jpg

steemitbanner_signed.jpg

This post had me in tears...from laughing. What are those bots for exactly? Haha Your attempts are so funny lol i just hope you dont get flagged hahaha nice try trolling those bots. And those cringeworthy comments-from-my-mother stuff is soooo relatable. Man, I am not happy with those too. Makes me think: naaaaa not posting quality stuff for that. 😂

hhahah right man

Haha I also hope they do not flagge me. Anyway, I think it's a good way to give visibility to a post, when a user generates good content.

I'm flagging you as funny,,,
You get 1 bronx cheer blllllppppptttt!!!bbbllpttt.jpg

Haha indeed. You just deviced a really ehem effective strategy.

You're right. I tried to stopped using bot and now remains one bot that i using with no paid. Your funny blog must be make me more faster to stopped using bot.

So please whale, anywhere you stand come to my home when i started to not using bot again.

You will probably have to offer more than your house to a whale, haha

hahaha lol, i'm not elon musk . haha

I oftenly did same. You must had been my mentor 😅

But on the serious side, do you have sister, and are her measurement 98-85-120 :P

hahaha yeah... She is strong...

I remember when it was $0.08 and even before that when you could mine it with a CPU

Hahaha! Amusing! I love it =D I'm trying not to use upvote bots, etc. Any advice for someone just starting out?

SO IT IS ONLY THIS...

"Fuck it! I will pay for bots and thus claim the success and glory that I deserve. See you on the moon, guys!"...

CAN'T FIND ANY SOLUTION? IN CASE, IF CAN - PASS IT ON TO ME ALSO....

@nagavolu

@tincho this is so funny. there is a meal for everyone who upvote and comment on this post.
IMG_20180228_001852.jpg

WITH SO MANY DISHES AROUND ... SURE EVERY ONE WILL HAVE

I also think the same, if votes and reputation are getting purchased here (through bots), then how the platform is ensuring the quality?

@tincho i quite agree that in starting you hv to keep refreshing to see the whale upvote...the time didnt changed much..if talking reality no whale above 70 repo i see voting on any minnow ppsts....finally the minnows left with using bit-bots. Even few of the whales bother of voting minnows post the thing wud have different...

send me $10 steem and ill upvote till you get $20 100% roi on any ammount ill do anything for a dollar pleaseeee

i loved it man been on steemit for almost 35 days still trying to figure this out post multiple blogs and alot more but havent made serious money tried bunch on stupid ways also still not working lol

oh... my... i don'y know what i am doing

Well I'm going through the same. I want to try this and that to increase my steem power but I always worry about the flagging and other stuff. It won't matter to them or people like you brother who are whales but sure as hell matters for minnows like us.

saessya che ko asaaan mae stalk karaan

Wallah ne keheen. Agar kiya b what do you care ?

The important thing is that you create quality content. If you do that, I do not think you have any problem...

Yah brother, absolutely.

yes. any guidelines? :)

Awesome posts brother. Keep it up hahahah I love it.

Hey @tincho , pos bagus!
Saya menikmati konten anda Terus bekerja dengan baik! Selalu menyenangkan melihat konten bagus di Steemit! :)
https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@boyhaqi97/hello-everyone-join-to-utopian-io

Nice your post, really... !!

hahaha really an great post ... i just love it the way you had explained about all the paid bot well described and funny too.. this bots are just killing steem community and they don't helping they just taking advantage with us..

Lol, I'm glad you liked my post. My intention was just to give a little humor to what is happening on Steemit. I hope no one gets mad...

hahaha it was really funny and i had enjoyed it .. i think will take it as a funny humor 😉😉

Just Say HAhahahahah, You are intelligent, @tincho.

Well, can't say it didn't work, looking at how this post got upvoted :P
It was pretty funny though, even funnier that @themarkymark mentioned it in his post.

haha I didn't expect @themarkymark's post, it made me laugh a lot...

I may use these bots as soon as no one is supporting me anymore or just sell my votes when I can't write anymore, I cannot write forever. Funny tho.

I'm glad you liked it. If the post brought you a smile, my purpose is fulfilled...

This post has received gratitude of 22.62% from @appreciator courtesy of @tincho!

You made my day, I love the part with your mom

Big fan my dear mom... :p

I have to say, this post made me laugh! Good job!

Thanks man! I'm glad you liked it.

I hope you liked it

Dear @tincho

I believe its good people and you've got a high concern towards the poor people like me. I haven't commented on Your post tonight, I understand and I'm sorry.
I need your help, my life was in debt lilit. May I know, where should I ask for help. I don't have a job in the country and to this day I have no costs to get married.

Sorry my impudence, kan has pitted the unfortunate fate of me in your post @ Master

Times have changed, brother. It used to be that we stood side by side as minnows at arms. But now, you have gone full-on whale. I shed a tear not because of my loss, but because I am happy that you have elevated to the levels we once dreamed about. I'm just happy to see you back posting here again.

Without these vote bots, I am loss at sea. Now, I am left to pay just to stay above water haha! This is the price I am paying for a transgression I know very little of. I hope you are doing well!

My dear friend, do not give up. We will be the same again, although we may have to pay for some votes, haha. Everything has changed a lot and maybe we will have to adapt.

I hope everything is fine for your lands and that you are always accompanied by those who love you. Have a great week my friend!

This is the most funniest thing i have read on steemit in 7 months. My vote is just worth 0.01$, even if it was 100$ i would have voted 100%. It made my day.

Your comment made me happy. I'm really grateful that you liked it. I already fulfilled my purpose, if this was so!

Wise words... True... Then? I follow you...

Hahahahhaha...so funny. I tried too different kind of posts, comments, and it is like copy & paste stuff. So finally, I tried bots. If someone appreciate what I write and post and I`m happy with it, if not...there will always be the #BOTS 😂 RESTEEMD THIS ARTICLE!

We will have to adapt, as Darwin said. Also, if it's to support good content, I do not think it's wrong. Have a good day and good luck with those Bots.

I remember the time when steem is just so cheap but I ignored my friend's advice and now here I am. I could have earned a lot if I started way back earlier when people don't realize yet the power of this platform.
