RE: Curation Bot’s - Race to the Bottom - How it will Begin to Hurt Authors on ‘The List’..

I have certainly been one of the 'lucky one's' @mikehere. I was in the right place, right time, built a user base doing posts like this, and then continued to posting. I'm an average writter (at best) who has found a style of posting that some users like. If I can become one of the noticed users on Steemit, I assure you anyone can.

    New words for @charlieshrem 's list:
    -- Whale bait?
    -- Master baiters?
    -- Waiting for a "whale"? (A "Whatchu doin'? B Oh, I'm ju' wai'n for a wh'le)

    Sorry, couldn't help myself. I'm just riffing a bit on your "bot bait" ;)

    Im pretty sure i coined the "bot bait" term on steemit here it was the first of two times andrarchy and I almost threw down.

    So how do you become botbait? Its not this:

    I was in the right place, right time, built a user base doing posts like this, and then continued to posting.

    There are a few ways:

    1. boobs, which is rather inconvienient if you're a dude. It actually got so bad for a while that the site was infested with catfish. I've actually considered using this tactic. Since i live in vegas, i have pretty unlimited access to hookers that will hold a sign for a few bucks.

    2. Price hype -- see @ozchartart, whos made damn near 50K posting "the price is going to explode any day now" every day and being wrong 100% of the time.

    3. Steem hype/general cheerleading/glossing over problems... there are a lot of posters in this one, including OP. Don't get me wrong, ollie seems like a nice enough fellow. But his posts have a clear (and pretty effective) business plan. Probably the most successful

    4. You can be famous in the crypto world (ie, dollarvigilante, jl777, various others). This is really just a collorary of ​3, since 3 is why they want famous people.

    5. You can be a whale.

    Lol, Forest ;) There have been times where I was wondering if I should have shown more tail in my posts o-< Oh that is a minnow ;) Especially my stick figure post. I was sure that was going to be so viral I would have to call the CDC.
