Have you checked sweetsssssssj or kpine's wallet recently? :)
The black market was not, and could not never be as efficient as tracking the bots and eeking out every last bit of VP - I don't feel we are in a 'so much better' place in this regard.

It used to be the same 15-20 people were in trending for 2k posts every time. It's different now. it went from teh chosen dozen to anyone with money to spend.
I know that people want the best content to rise up rather than the people with the most money to spend. I'm not against that if there's a good way to do it, which I think comes from altering downvoting so it doesn't cost people money to do.
The crusade again bid bots is often a crusade against platform investors that want a profitable return as opposed to interested in reading 20 articles about Canadian Deer Testicles every day to find the best one.
You should drop by the tag #comedyopenmic / @comedyopenmic @aggroed, getting a strange tinglie suspicious you might enjoy the show
I and many others have money to spend, but what would this place look like if we all chose to buy or sell our votes?
Delegate to @curie, delegate to @comedyopenmic, or whatever communities content you are interested in seeing and take a curation rewards share?
It's not as profitable for sure, but it would certainly make @ned feel more comfortable in a Bloomberg interview = positive press = more people = we all become steadily wealthy.
Yes, making it "investor friendly" in the present means it's very anti-user right now. There are very few such investors who are willing to invest in Steemit in its present form, and it's up in the air what happened to Upbit a few days ago. There would be untold numbers of investors willing to invest heavily in a platform with 1 million+ and growing real users which is why this place should be catering to people right now, not investors. Unfortunately all changes are coming from the top-down via STINC and not bottom-up, as most witnesses don't care what the masses have to say about ways to improve the platform for ordinary people. Short-sightedness is in abundance when it comes to how this place is run.
You know I delegate 80k Sp to useful communities right? I have 10k SP into msp-curation which is a manual curation project?
I wasn't aware of the scale, that's brilliant - thank you!
And although a reply to you, it was for everyone to see. I don't know what SP you are at in total, but this sounds like a large % is going out to support communities.
I rent 4k SP, give 7k out for nothing. Can we have more of us please?
You well illuminate the essential difference between the extant profiteering through vote buying and stake-weighting, and delegations that increase the distribution of Steem and thus encourage the healthy profit motive of capital gains.
Thanks!
Have you tried deer testicles sauteed in bear lard with some fresh rosemary and basil?
I bet that's tasty.
