I'm still frustrated and really confused about this social network.
Hence I got great feedback on why steemit is not an pyramid scheme, yet it all doesn't makes much sense for me.
Actually I'm freaked out and tired of this all...
So I'm gonna cheat steemit! Ideas?
This is my plan so far:
Step 1: Create multiple fake accounts
WARNING! Only create the accounts, don't feed them with content yet. Never ever create content for fake accounts yourself!
Step 2: Get some Fiverrs to write posts about cats, with eye catching photos!
This is the right way to fake accounts, you get real content from different people for their respective blogs. Just keep the secret.
Step 3: Negotiate with whales for some help
This will get you invaluable upvotes and maybe some other whales will follow the fake accounts. Yet it is not wise to put all whale eggs into the same basket.
(Wondering if a basket can fit more than one of those eggs...)
Step 4: Once I earn wild mammal status: sell my upvotes for Bitcoin!
My expectation is to create a circle of profit hard to defeat. After all, who can resists kitties photos? Even if someone realizes my evil plans and flags my fake posts, moderators will not have the heart to kill cute cats. Well... some would, so if some soulless moderator manages to ban any of my cat posts, I'll still have several other fake accounts available.
I think that with a so powerful engine of growth and the paid favor of whales, steemit will be all mine!
What are my chances to successfully cheat steemit with this plan? Please share your thoughts.
(Just in case you didn't noticed it yet, I'm actually kidding! This is a parody! Not my fault if you are skimming and miss this line :P)

This is how it works here, mainly the get the whales behind you or you were lucky enough to have a whale invite you to the platform and promise you a few hundred bucks in steem.
This is a for profit network so it is fair to invite good writers to publish here, they get their money and steemit keeps growing. Win-win!

Also this discussion goes in circles. As soon as anyone brings anything similar to this you get these responses "this is for profit" "you are against people earning" "you think everything is unfair" which is very far from the truth given that I am simply pointing out how it is under the surface. Then there are these comments which contradict the above claims "you shouldnt join steemit to make money" "you shouldnt think of steemit as a job" "you shouldnt look at the big picture two years isnt that much" all endorsing the idea of NOT getting paid, so here if you point out the facts of what is going on , you lose.Sure, however it is done in a non genuine way. For example "Wow I just found this platform and it is great" vs. " I was kindly invited here by the steemit crew to post" "I want to thank them for their offer to give me at least 100$ in steem for my #introduceyourself post"
You're right! It looks like there is always a reason for how things work on steemit, yet those reasons contradict each other, so what to believe and what to do? I'm curious about your motivations and strategy, would you tell me more?

Im here because I see so many people getting used. Getting used to keep the platform alive an paid almost nothing. If all the people here just made their own website they would be much better off and would have much lower risk. They would have that website for as long as they pay for the hosting and domain which is cheap and be the 100% owner of their content. Here the small people are needed to keep this going while the whales can cash out their weekly power down payout, without them it doesnt work. If you mention this it is called fud or that you are being negative, or they are "claims" but it is simply true.
Sorry to inform you, but somebody already beat you to the punch.
Seriously? or are you skimming my post?

Did you click on the link? There are people who have already created socks and fleeced this platform. It's worth the read - but no, it's not my post.
Yes I read it! Thanks for sharing. Still I'm asking you if realized that my post is a parody.
-- develCuy
Yes, I know it's a parody. I was simply pointing out that your parody is practically real - only the real version isn't cute or funny.
It's cheaper to just buy more SP than to spend time creating fake accounts =]
The plan is to just create the accounts, that is easy and fast. What is not cheap is to buy the favor of whales, so the first step one should do is manage to feed the fake accounts with "original" content. Yet I see ROI not coming soon... maybe just following the rules is a better and easier plan after all!

nawww! cheating works! It helps the developers of the system close up holes.
I like the final result you got making this post, @develCuy, I am sure you will hit some veins of Steem with your future efforts. You summed up pretty well most of the 'cheating' strategies people have used up to now.
what are Fiverrs? :/
They are my own definition of people that create content for very cheap money, yet they get paid more than the standard steemit user...

Chances are nearly zero.
You need to plant your tongue more firmly in your cheek :) the sarcasm is not drippy enough.
You are right! Just added images and some extra text to each of my cheat plan steps.

now it is 1 cent :) and you got to learn. better than most of my lessons!
Next time you post, your chances of getting upvotes dramatically increases. Welcome to Steem. It can be hard to make money here, but if you are determined, it will happen.
