Yeah. There is a serious lack of logical progression in grumpycats arguments, when he even bothers to defend his position. To my mind it's a broken system where people can buy votes, but in a broken system what can someone without any power do other than try to play the system to succeed. Not everyone can afford to invest in steemit, I myself have only put $100 of my own in here, the rest of what I have is thousands of hours of work. I've published short stories that I've since been told would have been accepted in paying magazines, poured my heart into posts about my life, opened myself up about things that have effected me emotionally. This is the essence of good blogging on steemit, I see a tone of other great writers doing the same and as far as I'm concerned we are all worthy of more weight and recognition on here than one troll throwing his weight around.
All grumpycat cares about is protecting his investment, as he puts it, but what I care about for steemit is that the content reflects a decent level of quality. I don't see why people will stay here if it gets mass adoption unless there is mainly quality content in all the tags/subjects. This is the only reason why I don't agree with bidbots, as anyone can boost a shit post up into trending, but having said that, who will shut the bots down? It would take the dev team to do that, is this really what we want in a 'so called' decentralized platform, control from the top? I'm unsure, but what is clear is that at the moment we have a set of whale overlords waving their SP about like a bunch of children and, some, producing very little quality content. Also, rewarding very little, quality, content from minnows/dolphins, as the circle jerk is endemic.
The internet seems unclear about the origins of the phrase, 'with great power comes great responsibility' but it shows in steemit platform glaringly, as very few whales take their responsibility seriously. To them it's just a money game and we are the masses to be played with. I fckin hate politics in all its forms anyway, so maybe I'm unqualified to speak on it, but I just say it how I see it and grumpycat makes no distinction between a post that is worthy of notice and one that very obviously isn't, in a system where, unless you get lucky to be noticed by curie, you need to bid yourself up to get trending.
Yeah... that has made me think someone needs to sneak some catnip into grumpycats food and see if that changes anything? Mind you, after seeing my friends cat on catnip I think it might just make things worse, imagine grumpycat on cat crack. Flagging left and right. Setting up a flag bot for people who don't use bots to equal it all out in his crazed catnip-ed up state.........
Your intro is pretty amazing dude. This whole thing is hilarious. I accept your nomination (mostly because I am already working on two collaborative musical entries to comedyopenmic LOL)
Thanks man. This is my first musical foray on steemit. After a long time without practicing guitar and a pretty dodgy singing voice, my own interpretation of 'smelly cat' seemed about right 😉 Excellent to hear you've already got an entry in development! I shall keep my eyes peeled for that one 😜
Ha ha. Yeah, part of me hopes that the power of my words 😉 melt that grumpy heart and the grumpiest of cats sheds a tear and joins me on my next ayawaska ceremony in Peru.
Yes @giselacan, I consider Phoebe from 'friends' to be a modern master of the guitar... and that singing voice... just wow. I model myself on her in all ways but I only were a dress on special occasions 😂
lol! I must say when I read the song it sounded much different from your version - I can just see this song being sung for generations to come (future John Lennon singing it outside Steemit Inc) Absolutely love it :)
Thank you so much for this - you are a talented individual!
Ha ha @lucygarrod, that is because of my unique singing voice! Traditional voice coaches might say it was a bad singing voice but my mum said it was unique and that I should go on X-Factor, so I'm gonna beleive my mum 😉😂
That's fantastic @amalinavia. I'm so glad it struck a chord and was catchy enough to get you singing along. It would be my fondest dream that this protest song was the opening to steemfest 2018 😂
@raj808 awesome :)
This is exactly the point that We-Resist!
Thank you very much.

you nipped that cat. maybe a good slap schtick whack will wipe the grumpy whiskers off that cat!

Terrifying images 😉

Can I grab an earlybird ticket for the show? :)
I hope its own theme song will make the cat a bit less grumpy
Ha ha. Yeah, part of me hopes that the power of my words 😉 melt that grumpy heart and the grumpiest of cats sheds a tear and joins me on my next ayawaska ceremony in Peru.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH this is awesome!!!!! Thanks for making me laugh Raj!
You are most welcome @evecab glad you enjoyed it... today I bring... the gift of laughter 😉
@khairolirol Mereka adalah kucing yang tampak jahat. Saya harap grumpycat takut 😂
Tidak, mereka sangat baik baik tidak pernah bertemgkar
hahaha I was reading your post with the translator's help and only the character of phoebe buffay came to mind
Yes @giselacan, I consider Phoebe from 'friends' to be a modern master of the guitar... and that singing voice... just wow. I model myself on her in all ways but I only were a dress on special occasions 😂
This is the funniest thing I have heard all day :D :D :D Thank you!!!
Thanks @zen-art, I'm really glad it gave you a chuckle. Spreading joy is the best medicine to counteract a grumpycat 🙁🙃 🙂

Thanks, it's just a wow. I'm now singing Grumpy cat)))
That's fantastic @amalinavia. I'm so glad it struck a chord and was catchy enough to get you singing along. It would be my fondest dream that this protest song was the opening to steemfest 2018 😂
