Hey @nonameslefttouse, a lot of what you said resonate with me but is it possible that your exceptional success is just that. An exception to the rule.
Fuck... I worked hard, started at the bottom, slowly grew a following that enjoys my work. I used my energy to get attention. It's not my fault others looks for trick, gimmicks and shortcuts, fail, then blame the platform for their own personal decisions. People need to face that fact that not everyone will like them but if they'd spend time focusing on those who do instead of those who don't, they'd see the same results as me. There are no rules. You take what you're given and you make it work for you. It's no different than life.
I don't care if you want to help or not...
Are you on glue? I help people as much as I can. Did you even vote for this post? You came here to promote your own garbage and bring me down. Your negativity isn't appreciated. By the sounds of it, some of these people are content with getting a smile out of what I do.
You most likely won't change your mind but remember my words when this comes around and bites you in the ass if we fail
Yup. I'll remember you alright. I'll remember you as the asshole who talks like that. Stop bothering me. I'm not doing anything wrong. You're just pouting.
Besides....
I went over there almost three months ago to talk and ask them to embrace the community. Long before anyone. I didn't need a fucking army.. I tried, so stop feeding me your bullshit.
@nonameslefttouse appreciate you candor. I've upvoted you in the past and you've upvoted me. I remember interacting with you before. I remember you bid bot post relating them to crack and I related them to steroids in a comment. I don't dislike you and am not trying to bring you down by any stretch.
My words are meant to be a friendly admonishment of what I believe is to come. Haejin is beyond reason and he will not stop. Have you ever considered how much of the reward pool he is soaking and most of it is coming from essentially an autovote. You think it doesn't affect you and that's fine. I'll work on pulling some metrics for you so it's not just my opinion.
@anomadsoul also attempted a very passionate appear to him to no avail. Thank you for making an attempt as well. I am not trying to negate the positive impact you have on people. It is a good thing. Hope you keep it up. It's clear you put a lot of effort and are genuine. You don't self vote. I respect the fuck out of that.
Good luck. Hope I am wrong about everything and life goes on like normal for you.
I do self vote, on my posts and typically hand out what that self vote was worth and more in the comment section when people come along. I am by no means acting selfish with that self vote. Every now and again I just leave it off to help boost my voting power, so I can hand out more later. I'm doing everything in my power to be as fair as possible, but I earned this SP. I don't abuse it. People buy votes for exposure, I earned mine. They don't stand a chance to earn theirs because they give their money away. They forfeit their future using those bots.
Anyway, I know what's going on. It's no secret and I saw it coming a mile away and that link proves it. They trolled me, tried to push me out. I had all my posts flagged, then removed because I know how to talk to people and be respectful. I know what they're doing is selfish. Again, I saw it a long time ago.
While these resources are being spent to fight a battle I saw coming so long ago, I think it's best that those who still want to have fun here still get their support. They're being neglected now and a lot of that has to do with both abuse and bid bots. I choose to be the change I want to see instead of leaving all of these people for dead just to fight something I personally tried to stop long ago. Nobody had my back then. If you look around, you'll see my support dwindling. It seems only a few have my back now and many left me for dead. It hurts. I know what it feels like, and I'm unwillingly to do the same to others.
