I’m all for it. I curate DSound literally every day, and I actually listen through people’s tracks. Definitely more active than any other non automatic voting trail.
I wasn’t implying you botted your way to the top. I do think it is valuable to consider the perspective of creatives like myself who onboarded post discovering of Steem in nov 2017 and are putting mad time in to build a following on here. Three years is a long time and I wish I had known about Steem when good content had a prayer of finding followers on its own.I genuinely don’t give a flying fuck how much “money” or “tokens” I make in the process, as the idea is to have the following in place when it might actually be financially worthwhile to post, circa the futur. I’m here to get as much exposure for my music on what is (insanely) currently the only game in town for crypto music. I would genuinely be interested to hear what you think I could do beyond the piles of posts, discord networking/post sharing, cross platform networking blah blah blahhhh I’m already doing that will have a similar impact to boosting my shit to the trending page so -maybe- somebody will actually see my shit and start following. I do NOT want this to be a necessity but if I slave over a track and the same 130 people see my $2.35 post, I’m getting almost no return on writing music for DSound. I run a studio full time so the level of comittment I’m already making to this stupid platform is already running me ragged.
In June 2019, It’s either my shit I spent 20 hours writing, video-ing, mixing or publishing, or its this piece of shit taking other people’s work and throwing his money away botting it to trending:
If the new fork disincentives shit like this obvious copyright honk fest, I’m one hundred percent fine with never throwing money away on bots so my actual work gets seen.
