There was a time on Steemit (August 2017 to be exact), when the site was inundated with fake introduce yourself posts by scammers hoping to make a few dollars.
There were a lot of numpties with more Steem Power than brain cells who were upvoting these posts in order to “onboard new users” (sound familiar?)
The key to getting a good payout was BOOBS.
So I decided to mock them by doing a blatantly fake introduce yourself post.
Catch is, most of the people upvoting the posts were too clueless to see mine was fake. The process went something like this:
For the first 10 minutes, they saw an introduce yourself post with huge boobs, and upvoted it while they were spanking off on their keyboards. So my post was raking in the cash for a short while.
Half an hour later after they finished cleaning their keyboards it dawned on them that the post was fake. They were angry and jilted. So they down voted my post and left angry comments. My post was blanked out.
Then my friends came along, howled with laughter, and upvoted my post back to visibility. Here is a link to the post as it remains on Steemit now:
https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@sift666/i-am-new-to-steamit Yes I am a dangerous scammer, and this is my badge of honour: I have stared in several big budget movies including “Womb Raider”, “Girls Gone Wide”, “These Boobs are made for Swinging”, “Asthmatic Girls in the Smoking Section” and I’m currently filming “Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Giving Head” directed by Joseph Siftheim I’m hanging out to be part of the Steamit family and if you upvote and follow me I will follow you straight back. When I have thousands of followers my dream is to travel the world with a crew of photographers, visiting exotic locations and posing in my bikini. And earning thousands of dollars from all my fans on Steamit. Right now I really need your help because my boyfriend has just told me that he can't commit to me unless I have bigger boobs, so I need to save money in order to go to Brazil for some breast implants. I kindly need your love and acceptance, love and God bless. libertyteeth54 · 5 days ago Couldn't find the first image. Second image is from here: http://www2.xfreehosting.com/lesbian/delftporn/svartedauden/02/1-20.html Third image is found at a number of places; here's one: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/221380137912094298/ Fourth poorly-photoshopped image also not found. That "2" is right on cleavage and would not look like that. I won't flag this post, but I did just see this post discussing accounts exactly like this one: https://steemit.com/steemit/@steemit-fun/steemit-alert-there-are-many-fake-accounts-with-girls-profile Then I scrolled through your posts, and found your introduction, Ian Gregson: https://steemit.com/test/@sift666/steemit-test-1 So, now, I will flag this post, and unfollow you (I saw this in my feed). This is a satirical post highlighting the large number of these fake posts that are currently being put up. That may be the case but it wasn't specified. So, the "satirical" part is only after-the-fact. Just like saying "will you sleep with me?" and she says no, you can say it was just a joke. If she says yes, then it wasn't. This guy was caught in a lie and you want to defend him by using his past behavior. So, was his past behavior also a lie? He overestimated the ability of people to recognise satire without having it spelt out. He has now corrected it. In all of his other posts he is quite open and transparent about who he is. Yes, it was an error in judgement to not spell out the satire from the start. But have you also flagged all the other fake intro posts? This one is over the top to make the point. libertyteeth54 · 5 days ago No, I'm not randomly downvoting like that idiot did to me recently, https://steemit.com/life/@libertyteeth/hey-everyone-i-ve-got-my-first-steemit-stalker I saw this one and determined it was fake. His actions since my determination are "it was just a joke". It was not just a joke from the beginning, and you're right, I don't know this guy from Adam, I had followed him months ago and didn't see much of his output, and have now unfollowed him and will be done with these discussions as soon as people stop responding to me here. Well I do know this guy from Adam, Ian is a great steemian and friend and this was satire. I wish I had seen this post when it was first put up. I'm sorry that you took it so badly. I was attempting to make it visible, it appears this person used a lot of juice to downvote it, jeeze!!! Thanks for having my back! This is all a bit new to me, in a year on Steemit I've never had a post flagged before. The guy that did it hasn't earned much, but has put $37 000 of his own $ into his wallet. And he likes to go round saying things like "I'm half whale and I'll take care of this" I was just thinking, "OH shit, I'd better get some help, when one of my most on to it and full walleted followers came and sorted things out. I hate this flagging thing and if you ever have any of your friends getting this done to them, let me know and I'll do what I can. I've actually taken to unflagging anything that's been flagged lately if I have enough hitting power to uncensor it. Whatever it is - I don't really care, I just hate flagging! I do get a few comments flagged, but never by anyone with enough power to not be overcome. When I vote my comments back to visible the flagger often removes their flag - so these days if I look like I'm up-voting my own comments, that's often why... (I know that's ironic coming from someone who upvoted 1200 of their own comments before the hard fork) In this case the half whale did a 100% flag on every comment I did on my post. Most of them I have reposted and deleted the original, but I've left a few for LOL's :) Up until this week I've generally aimed to be all positive on Steemit, but I must admit I feel like I've run into a years worth of total clowns in one week and I just found myself trolling some poor sap who thinks I am a tool of satan (666) - and then I thought "time to take a deep breath and remember Steemit is different", or I'll start attracting them flies. There is literally NOTHING to indicate that your defense is rooted in truth. These Boobs are made for Swinging...
Hi everyone, my name is Angelique.
I am very new here but heard am gonna meat great guys right here. I am a professional fashion designer, model, waitress, stripper, and pornstar in Las Vegas, and I love meeting new people that can impact me positively.
THIS CAUSED A SHIT STORM IN A TEACUP - LOL
DOWNVOTE/FLAG THIS POST! It is a shameful attempt to lie and gain income.
You do know that anybody can right-click on an image and "Search for image", don't you?

Great to look at, just don't get hit with one...
omg...
Dude so freakin funny-
Welcome Angelique
I really really hope that you get enough votes to get to Brazil.
I will upvote all your posts (as long as you include pictures)
because i really enjoy really big content.
I am sharing this picture i got from Angelique to show just what kind of steamian she is.
HAHAHA! I laughed so much. So, I haven't known you here too long on Hive, but I do remember you from my steemit days, I would have known immediately that post was satire the minute I saw the picture. How about those keyboard warriors huh? They are relentless! I'm glad you had some friends to help you from the flags and downvotes. People get butt-hurt so easily these days.
Things seem a lot more mellow on Hive - downvoting is generally for financial reasons - anyone who makes more than about $40 for a post is in danger of getting it trimmed by reward pool nazis.
Those guys giving me shit all left long ago - one of them is now a born again christian on twitter (I don't use twitter but clicked on a link)
But I've just started using my sift account again with the rewards turned off as a second account because I figure there is not much anyone can do about it - I'm already blacklisted on that account and they can't downvote zero.
On @frot I'm a bit establishment these days...
