RE: A sad text about visibility on Steemit - someone else writes much better about this

in #steemit7 years ago

I know of an account (stumbled on it just yesterday) that is just 4 days old, but is already at REP 56! And all owing to bots. And you know how many posts published? Just 4, including the introduction. At that rate, 60+ REP will be achieved in only a days.

Worse, the quality of work is, to put it bluntly, ridiculous. And i will say that again, ridiculous. I made sure to make that known in my comment.

How credible a reputation is that? Anyway, when all is said and done, we can only do so much.

Sad to hear. To be honest, I’m in shock...
Of course I knew about the power of the bots, but this is INSANE (= shouting with a big ego)

But I do agree that when you have a higher rep (like say 65+), you gain more followers, more feedback, more upvotes... because many minnows are hoping to get a vote from you.
Why on earth did I let @davemccoy talk me into this @newbieresteemday initiative. I’m using my VP and my time to support minnows, when I could be using it to suck up on people with a high rep/upvote value, hoping for them to upvote me - lol

That is the tragedy, @simplymike. Money seems to just about buy anything.
And don't blame @davemccoy.

... using it to suck up on people with a high rep/upvote value, hoping for them to upvote me - lol

That too suck! lol

Of course, I know, lol.
Someone should invent a font for ‘sarcastic’ - lol

Don't worry, it was only a whisper! I am not sure many heard.
