Thing that bothers me about Steemit the most are the people running upvote bots who take money from people, and actually go back and undo their votes because they dislike the content, and don’t reimburse the account.
Nobody is profiting from bid upvote bots unless the ROI is at least 250%. Even then the profit is negligible because of the way SP is paid out. Basically, anyone using bid upvote bots is throwing their money in the garbage. Even if it gets your post trending, most accounts votes aren’t even worth one cent, so unless a whale upvotes your post you won’t make up the loss you had by using bid upvote bots.
So basically, we have Whales here stealing thousands of dollars from people, who then go on to write posts about how they are thieves that rip people off. To make the entire matter more scandalous, people laud the thieves for stealing in the comments. If the same thing happened using actual dollars, the person(s) commiting this fraud would be facing jail time, and probably still could. I for one hope they do.
Interesting post, @mathiasian
I feel sorry for you, though, that you feel you have to keep downvoting me for something I've done, cowardly, without telling me what it is that I've done to upset you. If I've written something so wrong, why don't you put me in my place with an intellectual argument? You could even enlighten me. I'd be so grateful.
You want to be remembered as a bully-boy & a coward, then? Do you have your own children who some day you'd like to remember you this way? (I assume your online persona reflects your offline one. I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't.)
So, yeah, I do feel sorry for you. Just probably not half as sorry for you as you yourself feel?
