Well @broncnutz, when I first got on Steem and started posting, all the posts I were getting advice from were a year or two old. So this led me to believe the whole Steem ecosystem is one big circle jerk, and good content will get me nowhere, with bots and veteran accounts controlling the scene.
Not long after my Steem journey began, the #newsteem came, and manual curation too. The way the new voting curve works we are incentivized to do more manual curation, which is what I do now. I now try to carefully place some 100% upvotes here and there on content I like.
My account has organically grown quite fast without me joining any circle-jerks, and it seems to have come from producing just good ole' good content. There was a learning curve at first, but now I'm somewhat comfortable on Steem.
There are some really dedicated Steemians and curators on here doing a lot more to help this platform than I will ever be able to. I wouldn't dare join a downvote trail of an untrusted Steemian. @acidyo and @ocd have solid reputations on Steem through and through.
there are many here who do not agree with your statement that @acidyo has a solid reputation here. I respect your opinion sir but if you continue to down vote my posts because your trailing OCD votes and cant think for yourself.....expect me hard and heavy....FOREVER. Change your strategy or we just continue on and let the chips fall where they may. I do however respect your opinion on OCD and acidyo. If you do not like my content and downvote it i am fine with it, if you let acidyo and ocd decide for you, ill hit back. its simple really.
Ignore the angry man, Justin. I upvoted the post which negates the vindictive downvote this lovely human being cast. Don’t let others bully you.. just ignore him. There is plenty of stake to counter the misuse of downvotes from those who think the inflation is their personal tip jar they can allocate to themselves. There is no reasoning with them, just ignore and keeping doing what you are doing.
Thanks @justineh, I am liking the #newsteem, and for sure all of the curators which I delegate to don’t always upvote or curate my posts. It’s far from a circle jerk.
Especially considering the way many curators distribute upvotes, it’d be impossible to for them to circle jerk. Often only 10 upvotes per day are distributed by some curators, and yet they have hundreds and hundreds of posts to choose from. I am lucky to receive a curation visit here and there considering how little I have contributed to Steem.
