RE: Aggroed's simple litmus test for self-voting: Does the content provide value to the platform?

in #steem7 years ago


          Completely off the topic, but related,Can you tell me what a "producer award" is? I am part of a group of individuals that try to help new users, and if any should ask me that question I would like to be able to answer it. Does it have something to do with being a witness?
          You upvoting yourself at $0.100 is not really a big deal. What people, especially new users do not see is the percentage a vote is unless they do a little bit of digging. On this post it was a 10% upvote. I think a lot of people saw what @grumpycat did, and I still think that a lot of people new users, dolphin, and yes whales fail to understand what he was trying to point out about the self voting. Prior to his doing that how many people even realized it was going on?           Also I do not have "all" the background and inside info of what went on between @dan and @ned, but Steemit is pretty much @neds. Yes he lets people play in his sandbox, he let people invest in his sandbox. But at the end of the day it is his sandbox. He is responsible and answerable to any remaining owners, but if he want to destroy it, isn't it his right? So I really do not have a problem with him deciding if he wants something posted or not posted. Advertised or not advertised. Think of all the possible upcoming problems if he would have been actively supporting and promoting bitconnect, ( I think that was the scam crypto, but not totally sure), he would have FBI, CIA, State of Texas Justice division, and S&P police division pounding down his door, along with probably a hundred other government I want my slice of the justice pie alphabet soup departments. So his toy, he is allowed to be as petulant as the next guy if he wants, yeah it may affect his future ability to draw investors, but that is the bed he makes every time he commits something to the blockchain.
