This post only has $39 in real votes, that is some crazy bidbot addiction going on here.

So, it looks like the bids are coming from the below accounts

But it gets better.

Collusion? That's what it looks like. :/

He sent smartsteem 50sbd and got a 100sbd vote?

Yeah, I seen another getting similar returns. I don't think it's uncommon. Pretty hard for non vote-buyers to compete with that shit though.

The implicit agreement is you either conform to the vote buying paradigm or miss out on those sweet fucking non proof-of-brain upvotes. Screw 'em.

At some point the rape stops and all those rapists' shame will forever be on the chain.
I think there is a push on the get as many people dirty as they can.
No less than 5 people have told me to join with them in the last two days.
Ive passed.

Feel free to rant about how things should be while giving up your ROI to those who play the game as is, then.

Man, the vulgarities almost got triggered,...

One day, after the rapists shear the bigger fools, what you are doing will get you marked for shame.
Enjoy your time, golden boy.

I commented on the wrong comment so including my response below.

@lexaconical, I like a lot of your commentary but, by supporting Jerry, I know that you are not acting in the best interest of Steem and this would preclude yourself from being considered a trusted agent in the less corrupted social media blockchains which will supplant Steem.

Perhaps, you ought to use your influence to clean up the shit while you still can.

That's kind of been my gig but you have the reputation to actually do more of it.

I am not optimistic in the least that ultimately my efforts will make a difference. My principles do not place me in any better position than my exploiting counterparts so eventually they will gain the upper hand. The problem is so many of your kind are complacent to the repercussion of when spam/abuse becomes the norm.

At this rate, that day is fast approaching. Keep on thinking Bernie is going to do it for you and you are going to be in a world of shit.

Looks like you have significantly reduced your holding from when I remember (You claimed over $100k between you and you're girl IIRC). Perhaps, that is a tacit agreement that you know that what is going on here is not sustainable either. Maybe that just means you are riding this thing while you can with no intention to fix it whatsoever.

This blockchain will serve as a either a good resume or, conversely, a testament to your lack of good stewardship and community mindfulness. You had invested over $100k in this platform. What exactly are you now doing to protect it? Delegating SP to buy votes?

Where is the transfer? This almost never happens. Returns are miniscule on SS.

You gotta ask Tony.
You saying he faked the screencaps?

Another golden boy out to take from the many and give to the few under the guise of helping the little guys.

Just like a fucking politician. The irony in his critique of politicians is lost on him. Looks like he is using a proxy to bid on him. See my above reply.

Looks like he's using a proxy bidder to avoid the unsightly appearance of bidding on himself. Because attempting to conceal your self bidding through a proxy makes it MUCH better.

So, he wants to get attention by using proxy bids on his content? Oh, he's going to get some attention alright...

You guys do realize that delegate over 80k Steem to community projects and members of this community? I have a right to spend money that I've earned posting or investing on bid bots that support the price of Steem if I choose?

Also, I do have a separate account where I keep most of my liquid funds. It's meant as a safety precaution in case @aggroed gets hacked so I don't lose everything I have on the platform. Besides that I run about 10 other accounts for personal and community purposes. It's not an evil plan.

@aggroed, sure, I know you delegate a lot but I don't think you can say what is coming back as self-bids is really for the community. It makes your self-voting metric more or less useless as your self-voting is concealed or less apparent. From a witness transparency perspective, it's not the best situation.

You do realize that if whale sp was idled the minnows you bray soo hard about defending wouldnt be getting rounded down in the math?
And before you cry about crapitaluts owning their crapital, my bet is they would be better served by mass adoption than they are currently by mass rape.

You do realize that if whale SP is idled there is a lot less reason to hold Steem and so the price goes down?

Again, your conflating bid bots with rape. Bid bots are a way for the investment class to get a return on investment that makes everyone else rich because Steem and SBD prices are inflated as a result.

Ok, so the price goes down, if they want to sell at a loss, its their money.
As long as the game isnt attractive to small (?) investors mass adoption doesnt happen.
100mv is ~50k steem, 150k usd, if folks want to invest more than that, at this point, then they are speculators and are taking a (big?) risk.
That is what speculators do for their profits.
Once there are enough dolphins (25k? And not just the golden boys created by the whales, but actual community created dolphins.)to mitigate against the disparity in the math we can look at raising the 100mv community decision.
I cant go back in time to explain to the large early investors that they were misled about what the math could do.
The facts are, if the minnows are going to matter in the math, i dont see mass adoption occuring until they do, the whales have to respect the community decision that anybody voting more than 100mv will be a pariah and treated as such.

I am equating ANY rewards not voted to you by a noncolluding other with reward pool rape.

The reward pool is there to encourage 'good' content for the chain, not roi for investors, not to pay devs for concocting schemes, not to create golden boys to slob whale knob, to pay authors.

I will add a caveat, utopian is acting like our r&d department, and as such should get something from the inflation, as should cleener iniatives.
Any front ends are free to take all the cut their customers will tolerate.
But vote sellers selling the commons because they can? No.

And, i dont want any of that hard coded, i want us to learn to manage our own affairs without calling in big brother to appeal to the stick.

Yes, he needs to get back on his Meds. Between the Conspiracy theories and The Bid Bot Vote addiction it might be a wise thing to do :)

I am setting up a server, and just trying to work out who is who, and who is doing what, I reserve judgement for now.
