I upvote a ton of content when I can but unfortunately, I wasn't around this weekend and eSteem wasn't working on my phone so I am just now catching up!
I just treat steemit like any social media: upvote and share things you like, ignore all the rest. If it's just about money then buy some stocks (or crypto)! The money should just be a side benefit of creating, sharing, and posting good content that benefits the overall community.
Yeah man, I know it is hard and time is a big factor for a lot of people but I'm more talking about the smaller accounts that are saying they want to become Dolphins or Whales but then they are real stingy with their vote to pay themselves a few extra pennies and in reality a lot of the things they do they need to do the exact opposite to really make it here.
Yes I agree. Success can be counterintuitive. I think the amount of money a person makes is directly correlated to the amount of value they bring to the most amount of people. This is why Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are rich. Huge value. If somebody here is withholding a vote they are benefitting nobody but themselves so that's the result they'll get: very small. Those people ain't becoming whales. Another option is to just buy a lot of steem. Either way, nothing's for free. Time, energy, giving, money. It's all the same.
Dude I jumped on the train as soon as I read your post! I don't mind using Chainbb, and the more testers the better (and quicker) it's going to get :) Plus with the added incentive they give to testers it's a no brainer.
Yeah just think of all that Steem Power you will be stackin up if you have ChainBB open in another tab and doing all your comments over there! It could really make a difference after a couple thousand more comments!
I do too. It is funny how people mentalities changed after the hard fork. Before their vote wasn't even worth a penny so they were willing to support people mentally at least. Now their vote is worth $0.10 and they are going to strategically keep it for themselves. What a joke. LOL And even if a person's vote is $20 people will remember those who were supportive and it will all come back to them.
Totally agree with you. Somehow I feel the HF19 was a set back. Maybe more rewards but at least half less votes in general and some members don't seem to become lazy or greedy
The killer whales attach sometime but that is part of the game! yeah ChainBB is interesting and with the beta testing incentive it is well worth being on there. I could be greedy and keep this stuff to myself but it is the same as people being greedy with their votes!
Great post brian, I've been playing with the slider for the last week and It's a pain in the behind. I think I'll just vote at full power and see where my power naturally falls.
I agree. I'll get a bunch of comments on a post I make and not 1 upvote. If you like the post enough to read it and comment about how great it is. Please don't be stingy with your $0.01
There isn't anything to detail. I'm just basically saying for people to not worry about voting too much on posts and then also that they can reply to comments using https://beta.chainbb.com to get rewarded to beta test that forum style website to access the blockchain.
Thanks for helping brianphobos, I know I get many signals and rules crossed in this new endeavor. I really appreciate the tips, keep them coming as minnows, we have a lot to learn and at times we need correction from bad habits or an introduction to new updates that would enable a stronger block chain all together. Like everything going for the long haul as a team. Have a great 4th.
Great post! There are a lot of good decent people on Steemit. I've only been on less than two weeks, but I've only seen about two people that i couldn't see my way to interact with. I like to see the glass as half full. To me that glass always has more than enough. Thanks for sharing!
Great post! As a minnow myself I stay focused on creating the best content that I can and ignore all of the hype and negativity. Steemit has so much to offer the everyday person. Staying positive yields positive results. TY @brianphobos
Thanks. I changed my voting style because of the knowledge you dropped. I also got on chainbb. Is Steamvoter capped at 50 rules? I have had a little trouble getting it to work.
Thanks so much. Picture me up voting with hundos all day.

So... uh yeah.. thank you for this man, pretty amazing :)
@dexter-k That a boy! Way to Beta test!
Dude I jumped on the train as soon as I read your post! I don't mind using Chainbb, and the more testers the better (and quicker) it's going to get :) Plus with the added incentive they give to testers it's a no brainer.
It is a good thing hearing you are a man of action! These comment tips will add up overtime for sure!
Thanks for sharing... i went there a few times but never posted. Now I have too :)
Yeah just think of all that Steem Power you will be stackin up if you have ChainBB open in another tab and doing all your comments over there! It could really make a difference after a couple thousand more comments!
I'll give it shot, great tip :)
I also vote like a maniac haha !

I'm sea algae but I'm still upvoting this :-)
Thank you! Every positive contribution helps!
Me toooo :o)
I am going to check out the chain bb. Thanks for the heads up. Watch out for killer whales.

Thanks! I just the slider a lot but I vote a ton both with a bot and manually.
I have a voting hierachy (which requires enough SP for a slider), so I can vote a lot, but still give a boost to those posts that really deserve it.
Daily Breakdown
10 votes at 10%
10 votes at 20%
4 votes at 50%
5 votes at 100%
I try to keep my power above 60%.
Yeah but why are you concerned with keeping your vote above 60%?
That way come the morning, im back up near full power, to go again!
I agree. I'll get a bunch of comments on a post I make and not 1 upvote. If you like the post enough to read it and comment about how great it is. Please don't be stingy with your $0.01
Yeah it is super weird the way some people act about it. Like they think they are doing themselves a favor or something. It is weird.
Please make a detailed post about it dear.

Great post Phobos! Nice screen shot too ;D
Thank you! Hopefully it makes more people want to attend pool meetings!

Thank you @holdilocks This is the blockchain. It is basically lawless here! But certain things will get you further in the long run! Happy 4th!
Good stuff man I always look forward to the pool meetings ;)
Thanks! This one is a little longer post but worth understanding.
Interesting about ChainBB, I had not heard of it until now. Things are a bit crazy right now, but I will try it out eventually :-).

I'm glad I followed you.

No need to answer that question. I directed messaged and got it answered.
Under 50 rules is free.
If you pay 3SBD you get up to 500 rules.
The text on their site is old and needs to be updated.
LMAO!!!! I honestly thought my upvotes was incognito. Thanks for the info about the upvotes and steemdb.
Na, it is the blockchain. We can see everything. Every transfer, every vote....etc.
