RE: LOW-LIFE DOWNVOTING MEMBERS

in #steemit • 5 years ago

No other significant public forum requires members to invest money in the platform.

No capital investment is required.

No other significant public forum offers free permanent web hosting and 100%transparency (blockchain FTW!!).

Sure you can get downvoted, but you know who did it.

If you get flagged (insta-banned) on yo.tube or fa.cebuk or pa.ypal, you have ZERO recourse.

ZERO. You don't know who did it, you have no way of asking them, and you have nobody to request help from.

      Without an investment in Steem, there is virtually nothing you can do on Steemit.

      You can easily identify users with high-rep and post thoughtful comments to get their attention.

      I've actually been very impressed with high-rep users responsiveness.

      I've received several non-boilerplate replies from ura-soul, crypto.piotr, themarkymark, and even gooddream.

      Socky and me-tarzan even gave me MASSIVE upvotes!

          Ok, maybe "easily" was a bit of an overstatement.

          It's a roll-of-the-dice, but your odds are way better than any casino.

            Have all those members I listed who are engaged in little more than downvoting other members been removed from the Steemit platform?

            That's the beauty of the blockchain. Nobody can be banned. Nobody can stop you from sending or receiving direct transfers or delegations of steem.

            Your bank can flag you and freeze your account (real cash-money-dollars) at any time and for any reason, they don't have to explain it to you and they don't even have to charge you with a crime.

            Pa.ypal can also kick you off their platform (permanently, they have your ID) and freeze your funds for 6 months and nobody can even ask why.

                That is simply NOT true! There are many safeguards in place to prevent that from ever happening, at least with any kind of a reputable bank.

                It is 100% true, I've seen it with my own eyes. And it was a "reputable bank" (if there even is such a thing) one of the "too-big-to-fail" banks. They cited the Bank Secrecy Act.

                I couldn't pay rent or buy groceries or gas for two full weeks.

                Put that on your list of things you'll never see in the MSM.

                "Pa.ypal can also kick you off their platform (permanently, they have your ID) and freeze your funds for 6 months and nobody can even ask why."

                I fully support PayPal and what it does...it is by far the most widely used and without exception, THE safest payment gateway on the planet, bar none.

                They permanently ban people for no reason.

                Pa.ypal is one of the biggest ponzi-schemes on the planet earth.

                If you are currently using pa.ypal, I'd recommend exploring a backup-plan in case you get insta-banned with zero notice.
