Hello! I am Kusari (鎖), and I'm Fucking Pissed!!
Attention all Victims of @Grumpycat!!
Attention all Victims of @Grumpycat!!
Who am I?
I am the dedicated love of Sneaky Ninja, sworn defender and protector of the villagers of Sōsharumedia (ソーシャルメディア). If you are wondering what the hell that means then read what my love has written so far in his back story and it will all become clear.
Sneaky Ninja Backstory Parts: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4
He and I are bound together, both born with the true power of Jōki (蒸気).
I will not get into my backstory here for I was summoned for something entirely different today.
I have been in a deep meditative state for many days and was awoken because of a horrible injustice that has befallen our great village!!!
An injustice far to vile to stand by and watch!
Many of our villagers are being beaten and robbed by a rich and powerful villain bent on platform domination! He is using a guise of righteousness to cover his disgusting acts of villainy and many of you, my fellow villagers, have been his unfortunate victims.
Who is this disgustingly immoral villain?
Well, everyone's favorite super pussy of course:

There are some that resist!
This villain is so hated here that a strong resistance has formed specifically to counter his horrendous actions.
It is simply called The Resistance. They have even built a bot you can opt into that uses a small amount of your voting power (limited as you set it) to upvote his victims and downvote his self upvotes.
With enough users joining the cause and/or the bot it will be able to immobilize his dastardly deeds. Leaving him motionless here on the platform.
If you wish to take a more aggressive role in stopping this heinous criminal, feel free to join The Resistance.

Join the discord channel.
Feel free to check out the resistance however that is not the reason I was summoned here today...
He has made claims that my love, Sneaky Ninja, has been defending our great community in an irresponsible manner.
Any of you that know of Sneaky Ninja's deeds, and that of his master @michaeldavid, know that these accusations are grotesquely false.
I will say this one time and one time only...
Sneaky Ninja is a very responsible hero of our great village! These cowardly accusations are not only false but are blatant, misguided defamation of the highest caliber!
If you would like to know what Sneaky Ninja is doing to combat bid bot abuse, read this post and this post.
Now that you understand why i'm pissed, let's get onto why I'm here today.
First of all, I am not here today to describe @grumpycat's sleazy and despicable manner.
No, the proof for that is, as they say, in the pudding.
His revolting wake of repugnant behavior, how he has targeted and disgracefully stolen from so many minnows and small fish of our village, is keenly obvious even to the simplest of minds.
I'm here for the sole purpose of helping his victims.
You see, blacklisted accounts that try to use Sneaky Ninja do not get a refund.
Instead, if anyone that has already been blacklisted by Sneaky Ninja tries to use his service, their bid goes to my account.
Contrary to the lies our pissed off kitty would like you to believe, Sneaky Ninja does not keep this money.
Quite the contrary in fact, I was summoned to use that SBD to help the victims of our pissy pussy's appalling rampage.
All SBD, Steem or SP that I acquire will be used for the sole purpose of helping those users that have used Sneaky Ninja legitimately and have ended up caught in this monsters vicious wake.
This will be done in a couple ways.
- Any liquid Steem or SBD acquired will be sent directly to his victims.
- Any SP delegated to this account will be used only for upvoting his victims either on the same posts that was flagged or on more recent ones if that is what is required. Once I have SP, I will be upvoting 10 times per day on victims only until we have at minimum recovered their bid amounts.
Understand of course, that basically all of his victims have indeed been good steemians producing great content. These people have poured their hearts and souls into producing wonderful posts only to have them defiled by him.
The goal being to at minimum replace the amount they have bid as that amount was stolen directly from their pockets.
I will not engage in the art of downvoting as I see this as a very dark technique reserved for only the worst of moments.
I will engage in sending SBD/Steem to, or upvoting victims ONLY!
Once this miserable antagonist either stops his noxious jihad, or moves on, I can finally go back into my rudely interrupted meditation.
Currently this account only has acquired about 112 SBD, plus the amount @michaeldavid has put in from his personal account to make this post visible. That is clearly not enough to send aid to all accounts yet.
To start I will be sending a small amount to each account. Something like 1 SBD to each so they know they are being looked after. I will also be recording the damage and where I am on helping all the victims so that, Jōki (蒸気) willing, I/we will be able to help all accounts recover what was stolen from them.
I will be relying on my fellow villagers (you that are willing) to help me gain the rest of the Jōki (蒸気) necessary through donations and/or delegations.
So, if anyone would like to delegate SP or donate Steem or SBD to the victims of this unilateral war, know that anything that you donate or delegate to @kusari will be used exactly as described above.
This account is being ran manually, it is not a bot. That being said, this will take a lot of time and effort. Any and all help is appreciated.
If we stand together as a community, we cannot be threatened by the contemptible acts of any account, be it whale or otherwise.
Thank you for reading/participating.
@kusari
Lover of @sneaky-ninja and ally to all villagers of Sōsharumedia (ソーシャルメディア).
You are already my favorite ninja warrior @kusari!
Is there any way to support you in your fight?
How can decent humans beings come together and fight this abuse by the cat and his countless bots and fake accounts without becoming victims of the flag wars here?
There are so many people, who don't dare to speak up, because they are threatened and bullied. How to fight this without becoming a victim of this abuse yourself? Thank you and I wish you best of luck!
You can join the resistance. Their bot upvotes the victims and downvotes his self upvotes. It doesn't have a lot of power yet as they are all small fish and not that many of them.
You could do some research on grumpy and expose what you find.
You could help his victims like Kusari, with upvotes or whatever assistance you can offer.
I think the best thing is for there to be awareness about what the cat is doing that people are not seeing.
Really anything can help.
Sorry to respond so late. Having my page hijacked has made some things get lost.
Thank you @kusari! You may want to talk to @doodlebear about his ideas of building a bot against these abusers. Good luck!
are you referring to the accounts that are abusing bots or grumpycat?
Both and about programming a bot that may distract BS and other power abusers from "real" victims.
let me know how that one goes
Gimp-cat is a blatant liar, hypocrit, amoral asshole with a small wiener who has nothing better to do than to masturbate with a large pile of money and make things difficult for steemians who would otherwise be engaging in fun and educational content.
This misanthrope is the worst and needs to be stopped. His actions are Criminal and his disregard for all things sane and judicious are obvious and apparent throughout his entire detailed history on the blockchain. He is mad-puppy too — just a loser no one wants for anything, so he’s lashing out like a dying petty-tyrant.
I resist! For all of the best reasons: truth, beauty, community, responsiblity and to squash bullying wherever it rears its greedy face.
Go suck a dink gimp-cat!
Very well spoken!!
this is my opinion only,
grumpycat is self-righteous acting police in this community.
thanks for making this action what we called resistance.
Keep it up..
His nothing more than a copy cat.Lol..^_^ @kusari
cheers brother.
Yes he is very bad for steemit.
Great,Introducing,Good,My name is julius
Thanks
Finally people are starting to come to the rescue of the little guy. Best of luck @Kusari
One day at a time man!

I saw super pussy and I upvoted immediately
Awesome!
Hey, I'm Oatmeal Joey Arnold, and welcome, and where is this village?
funny!
Wow.. Sneaky Ninja just won a place in my heart! What a great post! I'll be sure to follow! :)
Thanks so much!
I'll take a controversial opinion that counters this movement!
Bid-Bots are almost always scams. The ROI almost always destroys any liquid returns and the notion that it "helps" minows is false by the fact that they are usually having their money ripped from their hands without their knowledge.
Carry on!
Wow, what a clearly uninformed response to something that has nothing to do with this post.
Bots are not about ROI in most cases. They are about getting noticed, which they have helped so many minnow do. If you are using bots for only for a profit, you are really missing what they can really do.
The proof is in the thousands of minnows that will gladly show and tell you that they have indeed been noticed from using them.
@enginewitty, @tattoodjay, @topkpop
Yes, this has been my experience, and what I've shared with other newbies like me. I don't expect to have a positive ROI just off the bot. I do expect to have a positive ROI longterm off growing my follower list by having my posts stand out more in the lists and attract more people to actually read my posts! I think I write good posts, so all I need is to stand out in the list, and that's what the bots do.
I came here from the resistance blog and honestly hadn't used sneaky-ninja before, but I'll be looking for it in the bot tracker list from now on! I can't really afford to donate SBD right now, but I hope to contribute toward your project in the future. I also like the "upvote healing only" approach. I don't feel good about being a part of downvoting, even if the person being downvoted is that asshole cat.
What invisible hand of the market is creeping into your wallet if you're fine choosing negative ROI over a confirmed positive ROI by a competitor
I have no idea what you're talking about "invisible hand of the market." Where did I make mention of that? I'm saying, I make more money using the bots. I can tell from the posts that I have or have not used them on. As in .13 or $8.
The difference isn't coming directly from the bot, but as an indirect result. I pay maybe 1 SBD to get the equivalent of SP and SBD back of say .98 SBD, but then because of how others react to a post with a couple dollars on it when it's showing in their feed, I wind up with many more viewers of the post. Since I do write really good posts, more readers means more upvotes. So I make more because of using the bots, just like any business expects to make money off advertising. They don't expect the advertiser to actually deposit more money into their bank account than they paid for the ad though.
Trust me. I know all about the organic Hot votes. I'm saying is you made the conscious decision to get negative ROI when you could have all args you made without negative ROI through vote sellers and queue list bots. That is the idiots... I mean invisible hand of the market.
Let's take all the benefits and ignore the harms. Let's take all the competitors that solve the harms and ignore them as well.
THEN let's tell people that the harms, which have been solved by competitors, are worth enduring rather than using the competitor that has no harms.... Right?
Also you don't get your investment back in SP, read the whitepaper and read the explanations of how the split is made.
Also also, do you even track when STEEM is rallying or... I'm just going to assume since you don't know how the split works you also don't know how MA affects payout.... Probably why you still think bid bots are worth inflating your post worth.
Oh, so you're saying, don't make money off their tool. Make money off this other tool instead! Okay, well we can agree to disagree about which tool to use. I'm not even 3 weeks on here so just glad to have even discovered the bid bots so soon. Before I did I was going down the road so many newbies go down of getting no visibility for their posts (because we start with no followers). But maybe over time I will be ready to use other tools. Right now I will not deny that the bots are helping me. I don't consider them negative ROI because I'm not only looking at the immediate return. But you do you. I'm certainly not trying to convince you. I'm sure what you're doing is working for you or you wouldn't be doing it.
perfectly explained. :)
The entire case for bid bots is entirely non exclusive to vote sellers and queue list bots. Any rational actor would avoid bid bots which is why why professional blogger on SteemIt don't use them while any amateur blogger is going to Artificially inflate the value of their posts.
Great perspective!
From my understanding, this was to combat GrumpyCat's attack on bid bot users.
That is an honestly sad excuse for allowing bid bots to take away minnow's money. Minnows have to work hard to get their money and they blindly fork over their money to get god awful returns. Talk to any bid bot developers in servers, much like realwolf, and they all are utterly confused why people are willing to fork over massive losses just to get... visibility? That's as bad as resteembots. The better solution would be to improve vote seller markets which allow 270% ROI or queue list sellers that provide 300% ROI.
You didn't upvote me
This reply was for @indigoocean
hahahaha!!!
awesome!
Back at ya 😀
For instance, if you look above you will notice that this post was viewed by over 540 people. That was entirely because of bots.
Have to disagree. The bots themselves are not the scams. Neither are the owners. They are called bid bots for a reason. Granted, if you bid poorly, your ROI will not be significant, if there is one at all. But, they still help to boost people's posts higher in the rankings than trying to forge for organic votes they may never get.
In world A, we have vote sellers and queue list sellers with ROI ~ 270 - 300% ROI which leaves marginally higher to profitable returns minus curation and 50/50 split.
In world B, we have bid bots driving up delegation markets, giving marginal losses to heaps of losses, and whales using bid bots to further destroy the ROI for minnows.
World A, minnows profit, get visibility, get growth, and may get organic votes.
World B, minnows lose, may get visibility when competing with whales using bid bots, and may get organic votes.
Which world is better for minnows? Which world steals from minnows through aggressive marketing campaigns designated to make bid bots look like they are minnow success tools?

Thank fpr intruducing yourself. Welcome.
hey steemit world i hope you welcome me here guys.
im new here.
https://steemit.com/alltags/@ardriantommy/allow-me-to-introduce-my-self-3-steemit
Welcome to steemit ardriantommy!
Ha ha, though you should at least welcome Kusari here before asking others to welcome you. Just my opinion on your comment :D
Great intro, you are highly welcome,
Greetings from @voiceforchrist channel, we welcome you on board, we urge you to try @least once in a while to write an article in order to promote, preach and spread the word of our Lord Jesus here on steemit.
For more insight about @voiceforchrist
@voiceforchrist is a Christian channel here on steemit that preach, spread and promote the word of GoD.
Why on steemit?
You will agree with me, many steemains are so obsessed, that there spent almost all their time on steemit, withiut having time to read their bible again, thats why we came up with this channel to able steemains access to feed on the word of god.
Do well to follow this channel for daily devotional, prayer point,etc.
Once again you are most welcome.
not a christian, never will be...
have fun on steemit
please never leave unrelated religious crap on my page again.
It is spam.
Wow, I wanna be part of the ninja-kick ass team.
Keep watching... It's about to get real interesting.
I love a woman who gives a fight, sorry @sneaky-ninja. It's just a small crush. I support your stand @kusari!
haha, awesome!
Wow! What an exhilarating and thrilling introductory post! Great writing ability plus cleverness is what I'd like to say, and I will say it, "Great writing ability plus it is clever!"
Thanks!!
thats really pleasing to read, many interresting things to discover, I need some encouragment from you , take a look about my last posts if they desrve , wish to you all the succes
I can tell you not to ask for people to check you out. Most consider it spam here.
i think there should be a limit to how much 1 user can earn each week, once that's hit, surely everyone else will be able to get a piece of the pie
This Post covers and is for discussion of that topic.
This debate is really interesting, thank you all so much for your thoughtful and passionate discussion esp. @jpederson96, @indigoocean, @kusari (by the way all else aside this was a really creative post)
I am a complete noob here and though I have spent many many hours on this platform these past few days (probably close to 10 just researching the platform and how it works and how to optimize my experience here) I have never heard of vote sellers or queue list bots. I'm sure many of us noobs are in the same boat.
I can see how spending months creating content that you believe to have a lot of value and having it go completely unnoticed due to the mechanics of the machine and lack of a following could be extremely frustrating.
Of course we've all got dues to pay but when a system offers tools to facilitate that process then I see no reason why utilizing those tools should be frowned upon. However I'd love to hear about better options if they exist in order to best make use of this platform.
Spreading these tools is important because there is a bit of a barrier to entry on this platform (due to the learning curve for many users) and ultimately the success of the platform itself depends on the success of its users. Are there some good resources you can recommend to enlighten us beginners on some of these tools you've mentioned and any more you might have in mind?
Despite the "dustiness" of my account and emptiness of my blog I'm super excited about this platform and want to see it, and the awesome community here, succeed.
Thanks again.
Bots are a very useful tool that can provide a lot of exposure and cumulative roi. They are worth using.
However, what is ruining the platform when it comes to bots is the same thing that has been ruining the platform from day one...
spam and people trying to scam or abuse the system.
The reason this is such a big deal with bots is that they vote on tons of posts each day. In general it is to many to fairly curate to be sure that they are not voting on shit. So, many of them do in fact end up voting on shit.
This is something I am currently working on a great solution for.
many owners don't really care. I do.
I'm starting to understand the whole bot thing I think. I feel like if there were a bit of a gap between the 7 day vote period and the payout it would give curators more time to find spam/plagiarism no?
it definitely does but 2 strong factors prevent that from actually meaning anything.
They aren't doing it. In other words there are just not enough people that are going out there looking for bad content and flaggin it. It is a manpower nightmare, completely impractical and more or less impossible.
As bot owners, we are technically the ones that are voting on the crap everyone speaks of because that bot is our account. This makes it our responsibility. However, most owners never take on that responsibility because you would have to manually curate like 1000 posts a day on larger bots.
So, as you can see, we can give curators all the time in the world but it won't change anything. Because these curators are basically imaginary. It profits no individual person to flag people so very few people actually do it. Unless they were being paid and the team was large, which is not happening, it simply does not help.
There are other ways that actually do help. I've employed some already. I'm working on a super good one as we speak. Would you know it, it will not be forced on people either, it will be voluntary. Voluntary but effective enough you would be an idiot to not use it. lol
Yeah, perhaps if there were an incentive to flag plagiarism and spam, as well as a clear definition of spam that would motivate the community to police itself. There would still need to be body like the steam cleaner to verify but would at least a big part of the work would be done.
I think a problem we have is that we all pretend that there is no governing body or rules but there clearly are both, but the apparatus for discussing/changing them is slow to nonexistant. Having designated channels for discussion could potentially help make this platform even more awesome for everyone...
Well said there are both lol.
I"m working on a way to manually curate bots.
cuenta con mi apoyo
Thank you so much for your help and cause your account is great.
Here is a post I made about @grumpycat account https://steemit.com/steemabuse/@isteemithard/someone-please-stop-grumpy-cat-grumpycat-stole-from-my-post-again
then I did a follow up post
https://steemit.com/steemit/@isteemithard/grumpycat-can-suck-my-d-k-from-the-back
bro, if this is how you really feel then why did you blindly post all the copy pasta of jperson96?
There was actually no bearing of reality in that horse shit, not to mention he was blatantly spamming this post with it. A post that has nothing to do with his anti bot stance at all. Which is why i flagged him just before he went and sucked grumpycats dick to get an upvote to spam this post again... Which by the way shows pretty well that he is in grumpy's back yard. I mean can you call grumpy and get an upvote from him in less than an hour?
I actually did see your post. I was your 2nd highest voter on that one actually and I left a response... Michael David :)
I tried to upvote and comment your other one... suck my dick one. which was hilarious by the way, but my phone was having some issue doing it and I forgot by the time I got home.
This guy is just campaigning for grumpy man. This "history" is no where near the reality. It has been intentionally altered to fit his agenda.
Hmm I now see your point that this guy seems to be grabbing for the attention of those that have a negative stance on Grumpy even though he may secretly be friends or on good terms so he is like an instigator to create more attention. I copy pasted a section I like that he made and reposted it but only after I asked for permission and was authorized it was ok to repost as I wanted. Thanks for your response though opened my eyes to the conspiracy that pwussay cat has going on.
yes, probably an instigator. I mean he was able to get grumpy to upvote him just by asking. lol
Steem on man!
Really grateful indeed! Looking forward to your kind support and we are with you by all means. I appreciate the compensation for being victimized on the plea of using @sneaky-ninja , highly motivation now to use one of my most favorite bot yet again. Keep rocking @kusari
Thank you :)
I only mean to help.
Cats creep me out, and self-righteous cats are the worst!
Very well put lol
Hello sir, Why blacklist from @sneaky-ninja !!! i always follow al rules and regulation. Please remove from your @sneaky-ninja blacklist.
Greetings, where is this blackballed list? I dont want to spend my hard earned steem on bids to thieving bots who do not refund as advertised on steemitbottracker.com like all of the bots the thieving bitch themark runs. I don't support thieves and neither should you.
You are missing the point. The point is that there is a theif here that needs stopped called grumpycat, and that this account will be helping his victims recover. The blacklist is only for scammers/spammers and it is advertised that they will not receive a refund. Everything else gets a refund.
I just checked your stuff and most of it is from dmania. Sneaky Ninja no longer accepts dmania posts but none of those are blacklisted. You would just be refunded.
A refund with a reason is all I ask, anything less is straight up theft. Where is this blacklist published so users know which bots to avoid and which bots appreciate the business?
no, because the people that get blacklisted know that they are scamming the system. There is not a single bot that refunds blacklisted accounts and I'm sure there never will be.
You are clearly arguing a point you do not fully understand.
Why do you think they never complain?
I've made it very clear to everyone that if you are blacklisted you will not get a refund. It's just a policy... deal with it. Besides you are not blacklisted so it's not even your fight.
Refund with a reason and users won't support blacklisting bots, simple. Anything less is theft by deception and the breaking of a contract.
Your answer to my question of where the blacklist can be referenced is no?
The bots are not thieving... grumpycat is.
Flaggots aren't thieves. Bots that donate your contracted bid because of an unadvertised blacklist are thieves.
Give up. You would only be blacklisted for abuse. Are you ana abuser? Your remarks lead me to think that could be possible.
I'm an individualist who stands up to thieves, bullies and commies. Are you one of them?
if this is true then join the fight against grumpycat. Otherwise your freedoms will soon not be there.
I'm standing up to the minority of bot owners who are thieving bitches, don't get confused. I'm not a flaggot, I mind my own bandwidth and not what others are doing.
I have made many posts about my blacklist. Its over 26k and from steemcleaners.
It also leaves them a nice note telling them they are blacklisted when they bid.
A person that takes rewards from legitimate users that have paid their hard earned money to get them are definitely theives.
I paid hard earned money to be here, who are you or anybody else to be the arbiter of what is spam or abuse?
Dipshit... this is like my 300th blog post. only the first on this account... Pay attention. Maybe if you actually read the post instead of arguing blindly you would answer your own questions.
Currently I'm using @steemcleaners blacklist. Ever heard of them?
Anyway, it's over 26,000 people that are known abusers of the system.
Besides, it's my blacklist... I can add whoever I want. It's only used to stop abusers from using my bot.
I can think of one name that is very close to being added to it. lol
This is especially hilarious, this is your first blog post yet you claim to have many posts about your blacklist. Carry on with your lies, it's screencapped.
lol.. the guy you are talking to runs the @sneaky-ninja bidbot so he's not lying to you. He's made many posts about that.
Still waiting for a link to this blacklist...
