Actually, she downvoted your comment because it is not truthful and you are spreading misinformation. 1.) It is not forbidden. 2.) It is not cheating the system, it is paying for post-promotion. 3.) I know for sure she does a lot more for the community than you. You can easily see this by checking where her upvotes go, vs yours. She casts 100's of upvotes daily, and 99% of all her upvotes go towards minnows with an account value less than $100.
Look at her comments, and tell me she doesn't contribute to the community. She is very active on and offline, and gives back more than she takes.
"and 99% of all her upvotes go towards minnows with an account value less than $100."
The implication being that it's better to vote for people who have no investment in Steem?
Are you a Marxist?
You're so nice for commenting on this post. For that, I gave you a vote!
I am not saying she doesn't contribute - she certainly does.
However -you guys are now attacking me for self upvoting 30% of the time.. lets do some math - 10 full power votes a day, worth about $0.50 each = $5.00 , 30% = thats less then $1.66 a day.
But actually - that is incorrect, because only recently has my vote has gone up so much with the rise of Steem, and I also have powered up more since the New Year- lets look at the past 3 weeks - self votes 13.9% ......I have posted every single day or multiple times per day making videos, so this is, as I thought, 1 single vote worth 50 cents, on a video that sometimes takes me 5-6 hours to produce, sometimes much more. - Wow what a criminal I am!
Way to distract from the fact that over $2500 dollars was spent to promote this post. Which will gain much more money than that in return. Which, of course, is draining the reward pool. Why not power up that 500 steem that was spent on the post and use it to further upvote minnows if its all about charity? This is why making bots normal really hurts steem. She has thousands of followers that look up to her and say - well the way to do good on steem is pay bots!
You guys keep saying that using bots is not forbidden, please read the terms of service until you understand it.
"17.1.3. Use any robot, spider, crawler, scraper or other automated means or interface not provided by us to access our Services or to extract data; "
This platform is not about who can pay the most for bots, but you all acting this way is turning it into that. All I ask is for the people here to think about tomorrow, today, as the title of this post suggests. If everyone here normalizes this type of abuse of the system, do you really think steem has any chance of becoming the next Facebook? We barely made it to half a million users and already this type of stuff is happening... Soon people will be paying $50,000 to promote a selfie. It's not a joke!
you are right about it! work smart be creative.
so you are saying here, your posts didnt earn much tho you put so much effort on it, maybe you should try another post not everybody likes videos lols
The platform is not perfect, we all know that. But don't blame her for using what's in the platform.
99.9% of her upvotes goes to minnows and helping them online and offline.

@sunnylife yes maybe you are right
@pure-pinay I apologize for anything implied, I didn't mean to say you are a bad person or bad for steem or anything.
I'm sorry, actually I think you are a great steemian and I often see your interactions on introduceyourself, and they are all quite genuine.
I hope that you can see my deep concern for this platform and I am getting worked up about how crazy the bots are getting.
I saw this post with the crazy rewards and @grumpycats recent stance and wanted to jump in with all my passion, but I suppose there are better ways of doing it then this.
I know that the botting won't stop anytime soon but I hope all readers can genuinely ask themselves - is the action I am taking everyday good for the platform and community.
Steem on @purepinay !

Steem ON!!

Don't bother, nothing is ever gonna work.
I agree, she gives her upvote every singe day to newbies and less for herself, giving more to the communities and people don't see that, she is active offline and offline to reach and encourage more newbies not to give up.
If these bots are not allowed they should be removed in the system.
@purepinay has good intentions and not to harm anybody and I know this, they don't know how many minnows she is helping online and offline promoting steemit everywhere she goes.
"she gives her upvote every singe day to newbies"
Ah, so the worst content available, generally?
Are you an anti-merit Communist?
