I have such an appreciation for you man. You know that!!
My posts are really hurting right now and I am getting like 7 or 9 votes on most of my posts.
I have worked so hard on here for so long and I am just SMH at these numbers, while I have nearly 7000 followers, half are likely not active, just like with everyone else but man, it is hurting.
-- both ring so true.
Man, you are one of the best people on here -- your beautiful shiny melon and wisdom --- and support of regular folks are true hallmarks of your greatness.
(:
I am thankful for your attitude and support.
I love your work especially the crypto 101,investment language and the best of all wallet friday(i will particpate today), my upvotes cannot reallly do anthing!
Keep doing the great work.
please, keep on steeming. we never know what tomorow may bring. if i don't buy bots, then i hardly reach 2 steem dollars. i believ with courage, hardwork and determination everything will be possible.
I do also follow you and like your post. At least you have me. we do enjoy your crypto writtings.
Really nice work
Well, I truly appreciate your upvotes and I'm not judging you for using a bot, LOL!
In fact I noticed this week that quite a number of people must have me on autovote, something that I wasn't really aware of. It's good this happened, it makes you appreciate your loyal upvoters even more and it also makes you check-in with yourself about why you're here: How much do a few missing votes matter? Have you become lazy and taken things for granted? Do you need to engage a little more again? Are you only here for the money? I think a little forced self-reflection every now and then is quite good.
I mayyy have a little auto-vote on you :)
Like @nanzo-scoop, I use steemvoter and have over 50 rules/votes set in there.
I'm currently using https://steemdunk.xyz/ but there is a limit of 20 accounts to vote on the free version - I just paid for steemvoter so I don't really want to pay again!
The vote is handy, because then I can use steemworld.org to see where my votes go and then go and read the blogs to make sure it's still content I enjoy and think has benefit - yes I'm doing it in 'reverse'!
@nanzo-scoop
Respect to raising the points about the holders of large chunks of Steem Power potentially requiring bots in future to scale with the amount of content/users appearing on the Steem Blockchain.
This shows to me that you are willing to seek out new content that promotes the platform in a positive way.
Finally, you did have @osm0sis on an auto-vote which she appreciated greatly :D
Oh thank you! ☺️
I will check out the link you shared, I only had two people on autovote so far but maybe I'll need more soon.
For now I'm still able (and prefer) to go to people's blog directly once a day (like yours) because I want to engage as well. I rarely vote without a comment. But of course doing things in reverse is also a good option :)
I think i'm going to post about it soon :)
It's funny, the more people you start to see on your voters list, the more you want to add to your own auto-vote list.
So in a way, you are supporting the person as much as their content. It's like supporting @ocd, or @curie, or @utopian-io i think, but on a more personal level.
I want to support nice people, who are supporting the growth here and trying to free themselves from things that don't want to do.
So i think as long as you manage your vote and save some for new interactions, new users, one off excellent works, then it's nice to give and receive regular support. Of course, voting in advance could mean a smaller, or bigger vote than you would otherwise have given, and so i choose to up-vote quite a lot of comments to rectify this :)
You've really got all the math worked out for maximum fairness!! :)
I'm trying! :D
My turn to have you on my auto-vote now.
Cheers again for such an awesome boost!Hey! You scared my Nanzo votes away! Totally jinxed it @abh12345 😱 @nanzo-scoop, no joke, I thought your fingers slipped when you put me on your auto-vote. It was too good to be true and I am so thankful for all your support.
I haven't used a voting bot ever but I can relate to your feeling about manual curating. I already think it is cumbersome let alone how it must be for your manually vote again. Also, and I am not the developer guy, I could perhaps ask if @blockbrothers, the group I am part of, can help you in some way with finding a script for you, or helping you creating one. Our dev is @bennierex, I'll point him to this blog of yours.
I could definately help you out if you like. I’ll contact you tomorrow.
Haaaaaa @nanzo-scoop !!!!!! I understand everything better now :-)
So, this means that my auto-voter doesn't work anymore either !!!!!! (yes, indeed, you got no vote from me :D and apparently the others people I support neither !).
I understand better why my VP was at 100% in the morning :D So, good opportunity to recharge our VP ! :D
Will also make a post about that (what's funny it's that few people I had on autovoter when to talk to me in MP without saying that.... I wasn't expecting them on MP so I was happy and surprise :D Now, I know WHY HAHAHHA ;-)) Amazing Humans <3
Ps: Why don't you use Dtube ? I am sure you would find a great place overthere ;-)
Re ps : I understand your position..... I tough I could stay with manual curation for the french community, but its even not possible anymore and we are only 400 people (I started, we were 8 ! :D). So... I started to pu auto-voter on people I really trust !
Re re ps : I will ask Olivier for the Python bot, I would love to have one too so we do not need a third party! Let's see if he has time.
Re re re ps : Thank you so much for supporting me since Steemfest. I still couldn't believe that you did really put a bot on me even if I was writing in french. Reading this sentence, make me more confident : ...author rewards are distributed as widely as possible (and in a meaningful way) for people I believe provide value to the platform This is because of people like you that I stay here, produce quality content, try not to be discouraged and keep the faith. And people like you are probably 1 on a million. So thank you.
All minnows now (including myself of course) looking at their vote worth in $:
All dolphins and whales (feeling nostalgia for early Steemit times):
Those are great LOL!!
This is one guy that sure practice what he preached. I always look forward to your visitation. About the bots, like most technology you decide what you want to you want to use it for - good or bad. Some still think the best way to use the internet is to commit fraud, the same internet young people are using to kill it here and elsewhere legally. Thank you for input into the growth of steem and community, I and many others are beneficiaries of that.
hallo your good post, please upvote me, i again break up with my girlfriend @nanzo-scoop
And somebody 100 percent on the road all the time for music who has been spending -inordinate- amounts of time in the van searching hashtags and trying to get as engaged as possible (for both altruistic and obv networking benefits) ... the knowledge that influential curators like yourself are using bots to help make sure they spread their influence consistently and fairly to creators they believe in...that’s a serious lightning bolt level revelation. I had zero knowledge this was even a thing. Gonna jump on steemvoter and figure it out.
Thanks for (hopefully) helping to accelerate my rise to relevance on steemit. Only have two music videos that took wayyyyy too much time up, but the feeling of creeping into the community while there is still time has made it 100 percent worth it.
Thanks for the insight from the top, my man!
Bro I feel you. I only learned out the bots this week. It's a lot more involved than I thought.
I'm new to Steem and your posts. I'm going to give you a follow now and really dig into your content. Thank you for providing resources for the community.
Hey buddy, you have really laid out the pros and cons of bot curating and manually curating! The task is really huge and i can understand that most of the time good content are neglected especially by the whales who possesaed humugous amount of stem power! Thanks to you, at least minnows like us can have a chance to level up the platform! Kudos@nanzo-scoop!
Yes, I agree. @nanzo-scoop is VERY supportive!
Thanks@diamondinform!
In all things, one must start from somewhere and upgrade from one step to other; this is progress. I tell, you are the winner. This means when we do things with all our heart without getting tired, we will surely excel. Thanks for your inspirational post.
Thank you for your words of encouragement! I've been doing Cryptokitty giveaways (https://steemit.com/cryptokitties/@flaccidfervor/cryptokitty-giveaway-2) and have actually been losing a lot of money. As soon as I get my next payout, I'll be employing a bot. The more I get, the more I will give :)
Very true. Manual upvoting is tough but I am used to it.
oh, you're that guy.
I love your words, thank you for sharing it among us
Thanks for all of your insight. Relatively new to the platform but great to hear about the experiences of people that have been here for a while. It's a great platform for building community in a digital realm.
I think the manual vote, can choose wisely. @namzo-scoop
oh yaa, you have not made a guess for football for a long time sir.
@nanzo-scoop
Now you have a feel of what some of us minnows have been going through. I found out i couldn't keep putting people on my Steemvoter because a lot of them drained the thing like 'shit' and I wasn't getting no reward. I had to go the manual way....damn!its tasking
I can still manually curate... not that early adapter.. I guess I was not in your auto voter yet, but I can still manage.. But it's nice to receive a nice comment from time to time.. also from the early adapters like you..
2 years almost as I see :D when we first John it’s easy to upvote until you get an audience , then oh boy !!
well at least this gives you a chance now to see what sort on content your auto upvoters are posting as well
Dude, GREAT post. I too remember the days Ned Dan and Bernie would vote together. Think I even got that combo once too! I totally agree with you about consistently rewarding content creators you feel deserve it, I actually wrote a post about that topic recently too since steemvoter has been down and I’ve been thinking about it too. Great to see you still going strong after all this time :)
I just learned so much from you @nanzo-scoop. I’m still new and enjoy to read good info, but can get overwhelmed, that’s for sure! Thank you for sharing your opinion with us :)
For a complete newb, this gives valuable insight into how the platform actually works. Thank you.
Quality, meaningful content (like your post) will always win out in the end. I've just gotten into Steemit recently and have become hooked, lol. Wish I'd have known about the platform last summer, but there's still plenty of time to build up some power before the big Youtube and Blog accounts start making their way over. The future looks bright...
NICE
I liked how you shared with us your journey here on steemit and that we all go through this growing process and it feels like it's not fair at first when you start out since no matter how hard you try and make the best content posts, no one is paying attention, but with hard work and patients it pays off.I totally understand how you feel, well maybe since I don't have that many followers or I'm not as famous as you @nanzo-scoop but I spend almost all day trying to read and upvote peoples posts, which I'm pretty sure you had to do in the beginning.
Jeez, that was an insanely extensive rant for sure (in a good way).
Lots to consider for anyone who thinks bots are negative impact only.
I’ve been trying to get on steemvoter for what feels like a couple of months bc i’m at the point where i’m beginning to resinate with a lot of the reasons U mentioned. Turns out they’ve been having issues lol.
I really think that having bot support as a creator is essential when ur at a certain “level” on steemit.
I’ve definitely felt like the beneficiary of such support and still do! it’s helped modivate me personally to continue full fledge as a creator and as i mentioned sign up for a bot so i can do the same for the creators i’ve been supporting!
As someone who has also launched a steemit contest, Regular support has been essential in keeping it going, more so since i have no other reg support or whales donating etc.
Steemvoter going down has definitely reveales the difference these past few days!!
Hope all is well
JB
Same here @nanzo-scoop, been here for hours trying to vote people haha. I'm going to write about this too :)
Hello @nanzo-scoop,
I have been here for over 6months now and you have been auto curating people and you missed me!!!, that is really serious. Hahahaha!! Just joking.
Happy new year to you.
@yaanivapeji.
Very true, with the reward limit at seven days it encourages a different mentality when posting, and with the voting changes it seems that it's profitable for large investors to just sit back and collect automatically. Without any manual curation of content that will draw larger audiences who seek content itself and not just upvotes, or way to parse content for longevity and for it to be rewarded, I don't see how the platform can reach a critical mass sized userbase when other platforms reward that kind of content better in terms of eyeballs and effect on society. We're still under 70,000 daily users and a million pageviews, some subforums on other sites easily beat that out.
I think that when we seek short-term profits as producers of content or curators it's as if we are just planting fast-growing trees and fertilizing them in an industrial, mass-produced way that will give the largest yield of lumbar possible. With the commodification of content as a vehicle for profit-making there is no incentive for excellence, growth or regeneration of the seeds we sow, because even though older posts aren't literally ripped from the ground they still might as well be ghosts that no one chooses to interact with.
If we were to endorse a separate human-verified (captcha or something similar?) vote that replenishes, say, once a day, let's call it a cultivator vote, we could consider posts that were planted more as fruit trees that bear knowledge or enrich the community and its viewers past the seven-day period for a vote that would extend the tail for profit-making and viewership. Display them in a fifth column, cultivated, where they can be seen for posterity's sake and continue to draw attention to important issues that deserve a longer shelf-life, and encourage new users who would feel that their once a day cultivator vote has an immediate impact, even if their small allotment of ten votes a day doesn't have an immediate effect until their account gets established.
"Sidebar: I once accidently downvoted myself when scrolling through my posts on a phone (it was easy to do back then), and the UI displayed -1 vote – that was definitely a ‘what-the-fuck-am-I-doing-on-this-site!’ moment)"
Ha ha ha, I laughed so hard. I mean, I'm sorry that happened to you, but it was so funny because I understand how that feels. I have people who will upvote comments on my articles without upvoting on my article. Doh! Heh. That's life and with enough work and persistence, it will pay off in time.
steemdunk. You might find it an interesting read, and a help in your current delimna.Hello @nanzo-scoop, below is an excerpt from @mammasitta 's post about
Hope that helps you out a little bit.
And again a great Vlog @nanzo-scoop and Steem On bro!
@nanzo-scoop you really made me laugh out LOUD when I read how you once accidentally downvoted yourself. Tying so hard to get your masterpieces being noticed and you give yourself a thumbs down ... LOL! It's beautiful to see how you wrote "I’ve been that guy ....." (with all the not so easy experiences) and how we can see the guy you are now! Really inspiring, and motivating for others. What I like the most is how humble you are. although you have big achievements, you did not forget the guy you used to be. That is a characteristic of a great human being and because of that you will achieve much much more in this life @nanzo-scoop! Give to this universe and you will receive... and you and your family will receive great things from God. God bless you!
I saw that you manually voted. I appreciate your support and what you do for the community. Respect, brother!
Sadly the only one of those guys I've been so far is the one who spent hours creating a blog post for it to be ignored. No problem though... it's early days for me
I do not know much about this so thanks for the information. there is a lot of inspiration that I get from the way you start.
Great post
Congratulations and you are blessed to enjoy every moment of life to the fullest.
It is really fascinating to know that all whales started at the bottom,make posts and no one sees them!.
I am the leader of the Ugandan team and my bote is the highest at 0.06$ ! and i have to curate all the posts on the Uganda tag.
When our team grows i will have to start using bots to curate.
Thanks for the update.
steem voter seems to have gone down for a week now whole steemit is half of the votes haha :D
Loving the reference to Little Britain 😂😂😂😂
I really appreciate you because you're still curating even though steemvoter is down!
This was so funny:
I recently saw some comments between them and they were disagreeing :))
cheers @nanzo-scoop
i never got a single upvote in my life on post's with auto i gave up writing at that time
I came here on Steemit 5 months ago and made lots of work to create valuable posts, but the rewards were really low sometimes... I am so grateful you started to support me! some people dont like autovoters, but I can say that your vote is one of the main things motivates me to create stuff worth it!
and I am sure Im not the only one here who appreciate work you do for the community... and even now, when autovoter is down I still recieve your votes.. its great you care! Thanks so much for it :)
Hello @nanzo-scoop. Sometimes i do write long posts, interesting and may be think that people will be happy with it but suprisingly, only very few few people upvotes. if i don't use bots i do hardly reach 2 steem.
Truly, i have been buying bot for the past 2 weeks since i joined steemit, but now feeling discouraged cause yesterday i invested 10 steem dollars and got 19 steem ( loss of almost 3 steem dollars). I do not know much about bot, but i know that they do give little profits. i mean as if bots upvotes powers have decreased. I will be happy to also try your bot.
i do always try my level best to make steemit part of my life and involve people to join. i'm actually writting on a project of translating steemit from english to swahili. My target is to attract the east, central and south-east africa familiar with the swahili language. i believe i will be able though still a minnor.
I do need some guidance and i know you have the experience. here is the link https://steemit.com/busy/@jona12/4xeuuq-make-steemit-trend-in-africa-by-translating-steemit-to-swahili
I will be glad if you take a look and advice me.
Thanks a lot.
No one can keep up the system got really messed up...
thanks for sharing
not only steemvoter is down tho
almost steem engines and bots are down and mixed with the blood bath of sbd and steem makes someone want to freak out (lols)
i never knew that voting was automated here quite interesting things i am learning wonderful thanks for sharing things i came to know a lot :)
not only you but many others are using the bot for personal interest in making the money more but unfortunately they got banned in the end :P
I wonder how you got this stage?? i mean why you didnt got banned??
