You're wasting your SBD, it would be better spent using the new promote function and I'm not going to waste my time sending it back to you. I don't look at any posts sent to me in transaction memos, period.
Please stop sending SBD asking me to look at your links...

Issues of man with money... No different on Steemit than in the real world!
So much fight around you for your attention that I guess it's hard to see where it's worth it, where the comments are sincere and upvotes are really because people like what you do...
Uff, good luck with this!:)
I sent you 5 SBD the other day as a gesture of thanks for already upvoting something of mine. I found that to be more appropriate than trying to bribe for an upvote.
Definitely more appropriate and thank you, but, no need in the future.
Noted and understood. I just hope to eventually gain enough momentum to be in a position where I can return these kinds of favors to those like yourself who have the power to help change peoples' lives by doing honest curation.
Awesome, more information to come on my curation tomorrow!
Hmm cant wait for this.
You are the type of person I will support to whale-dom :) THose who see the value others provide and give back.
I might have an idea here. What if we make the payments under 0.1 SBD hidden? That way we won't see much spam.
By the way, good you made the post. I wanted to send you 1000x 0.01 SBD to get your attention.
Just kidding, but we should do something. Make payments under 0.1 invisible
could be a great idea.
First Whale(world) Problems LOL. Sucks to be you I guess.
Well, no, it sucks for those wasting their SBD....
The noobs are making it rain steem bucks and all #berniesanders wants is some well formatted and referenced poetry with a speckling of authentically taken pictures with well placed quips... I feel for ya buddy. I don't think it's too much to ask either. ;)
I was thinking the same thing )
Heh, I'm not a whale and I get like one or two of them a day too. It's pretty annoying.
Hi Bernie, i can see your wallet and the amount of spam there, I can only imagine what you see in terms of DMs on steemit.chat!
PS. You're a real MVP to me, thank you!
Even if we promote our posts still no movement though. Most of my Psych posts have not been getting traction. But I do understand about the spam SBD sent, I do like how you made a post about it and put us in our place.
Such a sad problem to have. I guess a vote from you is worth $hundreds. That's power that will attract all sorts.
Does Steemit scale when you have many hundreds (or thousands) of followers? Can your real friends get your attention?
I always wondered how you guys felt about the memos and I kinda felt bad for the people sending you SBD.
Although I am not entirely sold on the Promote feature, since most who are struggling to get noticed do not have a lot of SBD, so I doubt that it would help them since their post will be burried under posts from more successful authors.
Also I have been hearing reports that after you pay to promote your article it may not actually promote it, someone just made a thread about this earlier and their is a bug report.
It doesn't really bother me, I just don't want people wasting their SBD.
What is annoying is the constant PM's on steemit.chat. That's also a good way to never get a vote.
There is an etiquette on steemit.chat that some are completely unaware of, even minnows have to deal with PM's from strangers. The other day someone PM'd me with his post and then he continuously wrote "Vote!" over and over for about an hour.
report them in #steemitabuse-classic
@berniesanders First off, thanks for all that you're doing. I get the vibe that you are all business, which I can appreciate.
What advice/suggestions would you have for someone like me who believes in the Steemit community and am interested to use it as a platform to help create abundance for everyone?
What is the best way to communicate with you?
Perhaps you'll want to send me a PM on steemit.chat - I'm serious about changing the world and it's all about teamwork so I'm not looking to message you via steemit.chat or send you SBD's just to get running on the wrong foot.
I see what you're doing here and I hope I see the much larger vision.
Stay Strong!
Hope to hear from you :)
thank you for the support, Yes it God will strengthen your nerves like a diamond)))
Thanks for the couple times you up-voted me
consider a custom limit for acceptance of SBD, for example not less than 100 SBD or even a ban on the reception of SBD
a custom message filter on the acceptance of SBD
This is very magnanimous; thank you for sharing. People often crave financial rewards and generally miss out on the whole ethos of steemit; this is truly an extraordinary platform and I applaud you for your genuine post!!
Please send them to me instead. I won't look at the posts either, but at least I'll appreciate the gift.
@smooth haha, way to keep things light. Laughter goes a long way in this world! Thanks :)
That's a great point to make in the Steemit Beta phase, esp coming from a top dog. While I can see many meaning it simply as a respectful gesture meaning that they respect your time, it could also be used in a manipulative way.
Unless a user specifically states such an offer "send me x SBD and I will..." thinking it's okay to send people money for results of any kind is ultimately presumptive. Asking first would be best. Bernie's post is really a great way of this precedent established on Steemit tho.
I upvoted this post- close as I can get to a bribe. Plus you upvoted one of my little articles, so I owed you one. :)
Thats so stupid of them though xD
People = smart?? DOES NOT COMPUTE!
Haha yea ;)
Menstruation jokes aren't funny, period.
Lol, I just looked, the cheeky monkeys. They should send you elaborately wrought golden goblets shaped like a dragon playing a flute. No imagination these n00bs. :o)
ha ha funny and idiotic way to promote posts :)
They just like to lick your ass
Hello @berniesanders . I would like to thank you for telling with their upvotes in some of my posts .
"I hope senpai will notice me."
-Everyone
I liked ur words which were sounded like "I'm not the money tree")).. If I'm not wrong, that reply was adressed to Klye.
This wasn't addressed at anyone in particular, I just don't want people wasting SBD thinking they may actually get a vote because of it.
I understand it. Have mentioned him just for ur not money tree phrase, which is seemed funny to me. He is a good guy.
I dont know why they waste their SBD that way. I have also notice that i got a couple to. Newer vote does.
It should be a minimum transfer limit on SBD, so we dont see that kind of spam. Ewery one with alot of power get this spam or wath we should caal it :-p
Quite interested now in how much you've earned so far off these bribes? 😂 I doubt much since they are usually around .001 but still would be fun to add it up, maybe ill build a little script to find out ;)
Ps. Good to see you posting! Why not post some more?
Generally I've found the people don't care what I have to say and if I actually spent time writing up a post it would likely be downvoted by Dan's witness crew.
If Bernie doesn't want your SBD, you can send them to me. I'd be happy to look at your posts. Won't have the same effect as Bernie, but I'm willing to try if you are.
Nice.. well played sir, well played indeed!
This is a good post to get out there for the newbies. In case they don't check your blog, and just your wallet, I posted this transfer:
I realize the irony behind sending a transfer that tells others not to transfer. But hey... thought it might be effective. lol
People actually do that?!? OMG.
Sorry, but bribery does give off the air of desperation, doesn't it? I'd probably be frustrated too... but no one's throwing money at me either. LOL
You have to understand these people. They think about the easiest way to get your attention . The strongest power is money. So most of them would react to these kind of "SBD messages". But they never thought of being creative so your attention MUST BE on their post.
I think a lot of new users are jumping in trying to do what they can. I think there should be a tutorial or "how to use steemit" page on here. I admit I was one of those users just posting using the steemit tag and was looking to send whales SBD for help since I read a post that mentioned to try that.
Made me laugh out loud, I know how many people have asked me to vote on their posts. Can only imagine how annoying it must be to look at your wallet and see hundreds of 0.001 SBD transactions with begging.
Hey Bernie, that made me laugh. I don't know why people would do such things, I kept getting money sent to me as well few cents and dollars to up vote their content. I hope this post gets seen by many :)
Well I guess a "Thank you for the upvote" message falls in the transaction memo category so I ll just have to write it here; Thank you @berniesanders . For what is worth, my work is well published in my country but I still got sad when my posts went unnoticed and I still got like a thousand heartbeats from excitement when you and other users upvoted them out of nowhere. Not sure why people mock those who asked for your attention, who doesn t want the applause of a demanding audience? ( But ok I agree the Promote button is more chic than bribery).
I'd say that's a bit different than "hey, here's .001 SBD, now go read my post!". Glad to hear your posting got some attention!
A right and honorable post, sirrah. Certainly dispels the claims that whales are just looking for more steem. Well done, and thank you for notifying the community.
Mr. @berniesanders will you ever do a #introduceyourself post? Maybe it is more your style to stay out of the direct spotlight, but I'd love to put a face to the username that has helped so many people. You buck trends and stand for what you believe in, whether or not that is a popular decision. Maybe like @smooth you use a group of people to discuss and find content. I always consider it to be a job well done when I look at who voted for me and I see your stamp of approval.
Not really my style, more info to come soon though...
I Look forward to it. I always appreciate your insight and how you find articles that are valuable and under compensated. You are very much appreciated by me and many members of the community here.
Lol... all the brown nosers hanging out in your thread bernie. This is quite hillarious all the perfectly crafted I love you's here.
Upvoted for the laugh
Lol
Haha, really they are sending you money that you visit their articles? ^^
And thank you very much for your visit yesterday @berniesanders!
Thank you for checking out my music :D
@berniesanders, you may not get a chance to read this, but if you do, thanks for voting on my paralegal "sociopath" story recently. It meant a lot! You went to the trouble to vote on a minnow, when you didn't have anything to gain from it. So anyways, thanks.
I popped into see who berniesanders is, I've read so much about you that I wanted to see if I had read anything you have written. What I am. pleased to see after reading this post your a man who sticks to his principles and has some pride he can't be bought. I will upvote you as I totally agree with you, Not that my vote will do much lol. Nice to meet you anyway
What if i send you some really nice drugs instead? ;) ehh ;) ehhhhh ;) haha :P
