Man how things change in the steemocean.com but don't change at all or do they? I see what you don't see, I am smarter than you, listen to me. I know what's the best look at my Rep and followers, they tell you everything. I've been here longer than you, I know more.
Yes, I use to use bid bots all the time until it was uncool and people with more money started filling up the bid-list. Now I campaign against them because they are no longer useful to me. I have a larger stake and my voice is more valuable than yours, follow my methods. I helped get us to this hardfork and the last, you were not even a member, what do you know?
Follow and upvote me, yes you have to give me a 100% upvote. I will give you a few pennies here and there it is how the place works; don't use bots like I use to, they are bad. You need to put in the time and effort, like I did. No-one cares that they changed how things paid out before and I made a lot of extra money off of it. I will give it to you in pennies, no I have to upvote myself at 100% because my stuff is more valuable. You can do that too, it's okay, don't use bots; bots are bad mmkay.
Communities are coming, follow me. My account has more stake, I will lead the community and if you do as told you can be part of that and I will give you the nickel's to grow. Bid bots are bad they take a large chunk of the curation rewards, they are not like any other whale vote cast after minnows. Bot votes are special votes that work differently than other whale votes. You just vote early and vote often and hope a whale follows your vote and not a bid bot. Bid bots are different whales and are bad for your rewards. A whale will find and up vote you, all you have to do is go engage with them and make them appear popular and vote them. They will not always vote you, they must vote their articles more because they are what keeps this place going. They will upvote your articles here and there for a few dollars, you have not earned a full vote yet, not until you can in turn give them a whale vote.
Whales will also give you a little bump and lend you delegation if you are active and upvote them a lot. It's like letting you self-vote them. It is pretty brilliant, they are smarter after all. Bid bots are bad, they give their money to @freedom. @freedom doesn't engage or post or withdraw or power-down. He must be the fucking devil. He is hoarding the SBD and not putting them on the market. That's bad for business, not growing the community at all.
@jerrybanfield believes in @freedom. @freedom allows @jerrybanfield to run shitty video's on YouTube and con people into a false system under false pretenses. @jerrybanfield loves to produce affirmation videos for steemit after all what is a little affinity fraud? He will sell you some votes when you get here, just go engage with him on his blog and upvote, that's what he uses the steemit advertising budget for after all. Don't worry if you don't upvote him, he will just steal an event name like Steemfest and bid his way to trending before changing the name, people already saw it, the blockchain has it on record as Steemfest 2.5, it's okay Jerry changed the name.
Now that you know a little more about the place, after I told you, go upvote me as a witness. After all you must be a fucking idiot not to be able to see all of this by yourself, so let me take control for you. I know better than you, so listen.
In the event you don't have the steempower to upvote this or just don't want to be seen voiting for this gem you can send me crypto tips to feed my porn addictions

I feel challenged by this piece because I recently voted for my first fifteen witnesses and maybe none of them saw that post or care that I voted for them, lol. Your sarcasm is eloquent... haha! I stammered the whole read to grin at my screen :)
It is just funny watching the shifts in the same people, they just all try to catch the next trendy thing to bitch about while just padding their own pocket pointing at the next guy who figured out how to scam easier.
There is a reason @freedom has the powerhouse vote, all the others have to do is quit withdrawing their funds.
Hi eroded. maybe I am a little different from the masses. I have never chased a buck on here and have only heard bad things about the bid bots as people tend to lose money on them. Yes I can see what is going on and my eyes are wide open. There are a lot of brown nosers here chasing pennies. Quite sickening.
If everyone loses money on the bid-bots then they are indeed for advertising purposes. A few months ago people were pulling in hundreds of free dollars with them. Many that are screaming, bid-bot bad, are the ones who gained those retarded votes back in the day.
It is also not the masses taking advantage of the bid-bots. There are more raping the pool with self-voting and circle voting but that seems to be okay. In all honesty, how are anyone but the large self-voters or circle voters supposed to get to trending? That is why until repeat voting loses value and self-votes are gone bid-bots are a true community service as they are, they give an equal fighting chance.
If people want to combat the bid-bots they should empower more users with their large votes in place of self-voting.
If you listen closly it is all just a bunch of what benefits the select users the most. Followed by things like trust, morals and ethics to push their agendas. Sadly Steemit is more like American politics than FB, Twitter amd reddit combined.
I have picked up on the circle voters and it is rife. It is very political I agree. People are scared of upsetting people in case they wont get a vote. That is not healthy.
It is always a motivating factor for me to research the chain when people start throwing around words like ethics, morals, communities, and scam. It always leads to a good set of data and normally the opposite of what they are trying to preach.
They always talk like the blockchain isn't there or they feel people are to lazy to look for themselves.
Really sickening. I've actually chased money though... I do like to be upvoted and all but not to the extent of running the place like a mafia. It's no wonder the number of active users on the platform has been dipping... People have decided to play God on the platform
I actually compared it to a bunch of mobsters yesterday. They are holier than thou but are the opposite.
"yes you have to give me a 100% upvote"
No.
Fucker, give me my deserved 1%
Shut up
Dammit, my VP is in the 70's you're killing me
Yolo^2
So wait, do I up vote myself? Or you?
Please help
Depend's what color kool-aid were you handed this morning?
Purple
YOLO
The hypocrisy on this platform, especially by the so called Dolphins and Whales is seething. They run this place like a communist government. I definitely owe you a 100% upvote for this, though it isn't worth much.
And the ending though. Porn addictions? Lol... You're very funny
Just a bunch of monkeys throwing shit most days.
The porn bit was a joke on Jerry, long story and a complete waste of time to tell it, lol
Please do
I don’t like the banfield character. Nor whales that are milking the system with garbage content. But who’s to say that everyone else is not just looking out for their own benefit here...
I don’t think at “face value” that all bid bots are bad. The system is bad. So bid bots are just a part of it. I haven’t done any extensive research on the matter tho.
Indeed many just follow the money, this is more about the ones complaining who are doing the same thing just with a different method. All one can do is think for themselves. There are just too many who get a nickel or two tossed at them and then follow blindly.
Gotcha. And you mentioned in a reply how this mimics American politics. Or politics in general. I agree. And have been saying this a lot. The system isn’t really decentralized. It’s a republic. And the sheep who are just looking for a shepherd with grass aren’t helping.
I think there is also the problem in human nature / evolution where the masses are sheep and just follow without thinking.
And I am still waiting for the beer opener thingie you dipshit 😤😤😤😤😤😤
Aye, might as well make it a full care package.
Why hasn't anyone sent me the tokens that have not went KKKKKAAAAAAABBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM yet?
