I want to keep doing steemit, but if you piss off the wrong person you are done for! I am not free to say what I want, this is the example. If I told you right now what I have found, and that person reads this comment then they would prob shut me down for good.
I just avoid naming specific people when reporting information. If I am going to name a person I try to only state the facts and avoid just writing my opinion. I also try not to call them a jerk or otherwise ad hominem attack them.
I've found they don't usually down vote someone to oblivion if that person didn't actually ATTACK them. If you give them nothing to latch onto other than facts which you are not stating opinions about, then really they don't generally flag someone to oblivion.
This has been my observation. So it is all in how you go about doing it.
@ats-david did some investigative reports long ago, and not only is he still around he is thriving. @bacchist did some investigative posts long ago and he is still around. @klye did some investigative posts and not only is he still around both he and bacchist are witnesses.
I called out berniesanders on one of my posts but I didn't bash him. I just did like an information dump. He didn't attack me. He had some verbal comments, but I was careful not to take the bait and resort to name calling or ad hominem attacks. He didn't flag me, when I've seen him flag other people into oblivion.
The key is can you show that you are doing it because you care about the community without turning it into a finger pointing rant?
OK very good advice, and ya I have facts but still it is prob not a good idea to post about it anyway. I might not understanding everything I have found out as well, I don't want to be one of those guys that post something and it not what I think it is. I just have a feeling that Steemit will be like the real world, when it comes to making money and business. Corrupt! Human nature, there is nothing we can do about that. I will just keep my head down, and try to make content that is honest and kind. Thank you by the way for replying, I really enjoy how throw you are.
You can email me the info if you want to dwinblood @ gmail.com
I am looking into some of this as well. They thought I was butt hurt and came after this post with a big horde of down vote bots and accounts that down voted all at the same time. Mining those accounts for information has revealed an interesting web. I will turn that information into some hopefully nice investigative reporting, so if you don't want to say anything but have information feel free to email it to me if you want.
Yes that is what I am talking about, it is web of crazy stuff I will email you what I have found.
You're just a butthurt old man. There's nothing here worth downvoting. You can see just by the number of followers and users how many people LOVE @randowhale.
Oh I know they love it. I even used it a few times. :) I don't even KNOW if the person I was responding to was even talking about you. They didn't say. I would kind of doubt it though.
I agree with you I'd rather see people using it to promote other people, and policing that would be difficult as they could just use other accounts like you said. Most people don't have other accounts, but it might spur them to create them.
Fuck you, sanders, you fucking grub.
Oh he is A LOT of people. I'm actually glad they down voted me with 100+ accounts. Do you have any idea how revealing it is to go through these accounts and see who transfers money to where? He is A LOT more accounts than that, but yes he is definitely that one and that is the one he seems to send most of his Randowhale funds to. They go from Randowhale to Randowhalefund and from there mostly to Nextgencrypto.
Whether they are all the same people I cannot say for certain. Yet it is obvious they have an extreme level of collusion IF they are different people.
He better hope no one ever doxes him if this is how he wishes to act. As more people join no telling what type of a loon he might set off. :)
And 25 years concept. Very possible since he called me an old man. :) Which I am fine with being called. I myself am 47.
A lot of people LOVE Britney Spears, that does not make her music any better.
From what I read of your @randowhale you are using a random number. I don't know if it is just a flat range or not. Have you considered making it even more lottery like?
Adjust your algorithm so maybe there is a 1% chance of a 10x as powerful vote as normal, 10% chance of a 4x as powerful, and then the remaining 89% or so doing what you are already doing? That would make it kind of like buying a lottery ticket.
Right now you can make more or less than your $1 SBD, but I suspect you keep that pretty closely monitored. It right now is a lot like buying a lottery ticket, but it is not quite as dramatic as a lottery ticket might be.
I do realize that to do this you'd have to recalculate percentages.
As to butthurt and looking for something to complain about. I just write about whatever comes to mind. That usually comes from external stimuli. You haven't done anything to me, but I'd been thinking about the growing groups of voting bots that get paid for their services for awhile. That inspired my post.
Now talking hopefully WITH you, but I'll be satisfied with AT you if that is all I can get also made me think of ways your service might be even cooler. So I shared that with you. If I was butthurt and jealous because I didn't get there first I wouldn't bother. ;)
I do KNOW you care about the community. We ideologically differ strongly in some areas, but that doesn't mean I think you don't care.
I do think when it comes to business and focusing on yourself and maximizing your potential you are willing to go further than I am. That also means you'll always have more than I do. I am totally fine with that.
So if you like the idea and it helps you at all... have at it. If not. Oh well, something else will inspire me to write about something else. It always does and it is actually fairly RARE that it has anything to do with you. :)
Wow, you came out cheap from this :)
There ya go. I had to go do some server work. I came back and am sitting at zero. All I can say is I can now make a note of all of these accounts that subjectively down voted and start keeping an eye on them. ;)
If you start with that bully, don't expect to go away with a bag of candies :(
Oh I came away unscathed until this time. Yet this time I am spinning to a positive. The 100+ accounts that down voted me all at the same time gave me far more data to mine than I was expecting. There is good information here. In that regard it was worth it. If he actually wanted my attention, he got it. :)
WOW!
So you WIN even if it looks like you lost ;-)>
A sign of a REAL winner and superiorly intelligent being!
I didn't call him names. I didn't tell him he was butt hurt. In other words I did not do what he was doing to me. Two wrongs do not make a right. He also knows I care about the community though I disagree with him ideologically on a number of things.
