You are ruining your own product!
There is a reason steem is at 13 cents!
When it was flourishing, people hating people for commenting, expecting a few cents, was frowned upon, so the majority got it banned.
Price of steem fell dramatically.
People wanting to decide what others do, never works out well, take a look around you in the real world.
This will be my last post, not a rage quit, more a measured approach.
When you have a system of negativity, it breeds, and this is toxic.
To make a system where after 7 days, some tosser that runs a bibbot can vote you down for using a bidbot that gives 20% back to the community, you choke.
The group mentality is key!.
Like anything in life, steemit shows one thing. One thing is good today, it is not tomorrow, try stop being led by the nose.
Make informed decisions on your own.
Negativity is rife on here, people deciding what deserves rewards or not, try minding your own business.
I had a in my eyes superb xmas post, it will never now see the light of day, well done!.
It could be such a positive place, a real change to society, it will not though, you let it be so.
It mirrors life much.
I guess you want me gone, so I will go, with pleasure, and I shall do my best to get steem down to nil.
Hmm sad that you connect negativity with this place. It's the exact opposite for me-
Free Speech is all I need. People who understand me is all I need.
We're fighting against bid bot owners. Join us @steemflagrewards
Otherwise. We will see each others. The paths always cross several times
I like you bro, merry xmas, and have a superb new year,
Sorry, but that is BS
You are not fighting the bidbots, there are hardly any left. What you are fighting is the posters who do not 'know their place' and bow to the likes of the other idiot here. You also voted for flagging so that idiots only need to spend 3 steem and never make a post or comment, never have to think for themselves or be creative, (so that nobody can flag them) but can earn by flagging. If this was not what the big SP owners wanted, why is it they are delegating to them?
You want to level the playing field? Then go flag all the BS of the whales and other big accounts.
Then you can say you are in favour of free speech and that you are trying to improve the platform.
I draw the line at bad fiction.
Maybe not spewing so much ignorance before commenting?
Why bother? You still pay for your accounts.
Your content is fine, buying votes is not. It undermines everything about #newsteem.
Your account is old enough to know that vote buying is now the past. There is no negativity.
If we all did this, can you imagine what would happen?
Everything is subjective is it not? When you group bully anyone for doing anything, like you do, it in my eyes is wrong! You can do or say what you want, but my comment stands, you are ruining your own product!.
By using tipu, you lose 20% the 20% is given back to the community, is that bad?
The biggest abusers on here have never been held to account, so I get it, you go after smaller accounts.
I have seen plenty of posts like this, but I do not want to drive people away from Steem, especially if they have quality posts. What we do want is real curation. If people do want to promote their posts they can decline rewards, but most I see with paid votes do not get much engagement anyway.
Like @slobberchops I support dozens of small accounts. I do not self vote. Being part of the community is what brings rewards. I've taken on some big abusers and suffered for it, but others support me.
I don't see anything else like Steem out there, so I will continue to support it as it has great potential to help many people around the world. I hope you find something that works for you.
May I thank you for the time you took to reply.
My point stands, using tipu that is none profitable, and gives 20% back to the community is now considered bad, by who?
By losing 20% does that now make me some sort of imbecile?
I am failing to see your logic!.
The community decides what is acceptable and buying votes distorts the reward distribution. I do what I consider is best for Steem.
You do not do what is best for steem, you never have, you all got it down this far, with your own negative actions.
You let haejin abuse this place for years, via his rancho account, only a few people stepped up like fulltimegeek.
He has now cashed out, why?
There are numerous people on here like chbartist or what ever his name is that "have" abused this place, but, you want to take that out on me, for using a service that loses me 20%? Your logic is fucked to be honest.
I wish you all well, I will sell my steem at 1 cent, and give you what you deserve, fuck all.
Oh shit? Where are they now? Damn, better leave STEEM for the n-th time.
@iamstan sends you his regards. Lol
I know who you are, I care not what you think.
I downvoted them both. Opinions are like arseholes...
And arseholes act like them, you have not actually addressed anything I have said, you just go with your current group think. Pathetic!
Yes, I'm special and unique :) I expect you are a snowflake too. I assume you meant it as a compliment. I'm sure you would not resort to childish name-calling.
You are not the first to make wrong assumptions about my intentions. There are motivations other than self-interest.
Merry Christmas.
I simply gave you a video to watch, free of charge, I have not called you any names, unlike some of your tribe, I am dignified, Merry xmas, right back to you,
Do you feel that you are receiving downvotes because of the content of your posts or because you have used bots to upvote the post(s), @shepz1?
If it is a bot issue (which it appears to me is the case) then it is hard to understand how you are suggesting it is a free speech issue.
Mind explaining?
No I do not mind at all. This post had no bidbot boost by me, it did have a $1 or so tipu via one of the commentators, yet it got voted to dust for having my own opinion on steemit. The post after received the same treatment, with zero bid bot use by me!. Thanks for the comment on the other post, hope you enjoy the rest of the vid.
That's this platforms whole problem....you guys decide who wins and who loses....in the end it will ultimately be Steemit that loses. Please do tell us all how much distortion of the rewards pool money have gone to the bimbo's waving a smile in people's faces?....the soldier account, last I looked was half way to dolphin....but that's perfectly okay to rip people's hard earn rewards away to give to a bunch of dimwits.
When you've been to a few Steemfests like her I'll consider you worthy of judging her. You seem a little obsessed. But what does my opinion matter to you?
Judge me as you wish. I don't give a shit. It's not like my few cents of vote or flag make much difference to anyone.
I'll keep voting up whatever I consider deserving. Not my own stuff of course.
Wish you the best for next year.
I don't need to go to steemfest to see she's capable of cheating her way to the top nor to be granted the right to cheat her way to the top as, if one even needs to ask, is the bulk of people who attend steemfest.
Unfortunately you are not a woman whose opportunities in life where often quashed by those willing to cheat their way to the top then compete their way to the top. So yeah, call it an obsession, I'd call it being livid at the thought I spent ficken hours writing stuff on here playing by the rules then some bimbo comes along and can post pictures of girls with no content and make more than I can spending hours writing content. It's even more insulting when you find she cheats.
Well if you have daughter(s) that will one day enter the work force then your opinion of this type of matter should be concerning to you.
Okay, that does it and you fully deserve it.
You are a fricken liar.
You two faced hypocrite. Just when is some picture post of a woman smiling saying HI! real curation? How many times do I have to catch you in a lie?
No this site is going nowhere, notta, because you pick and chose the winners and losers.
No one can use this tipu (and I see dozens of post that use it) (and I am not stupid and see something deeper going on in this instance that is none of my business more as it is yours...but since you've chose to use tipu as a means to handle it)...then, once again, I am calling out the hypocrisy as to why do the winners get to use tipu?
Meh
I'm not going to argue with you. You seemed educated and somewhat reasonable. Like you said everything is subjective.
What do you mean, group bully? There people following my DV trail but I didn't ask them too. In fact it makes me uncomfortable that they are doing so.
You have many other posts that have paid votes, but I will leave them be as I feel you have got the message. @tipu now curate and have a team looking for undervalued posts.
I for one, wish they would take the option away for paid votes, it would make it so much easier.
Despite what you think, I don't enjoy 'bullying' as you call it. I just want votes to be organic, deserved and up-voted for what they contain and not for the amount of paid votes they receive.
Why bother bantering?
He will never leave lol. He’s been trying to leave for ages.
Best to check if evil banks are still holding his money hostage.
He’s too rich to care he’ll be fine with the downvotes.
I think you two have some history I'm not parley too!
Nah. Not me. I’m making history right now.
It’s hilarious. I think it’s high time we meet this man who’s full of himself.
Yes I have a lot of money, watch what happens next!
Please! Been waiting for that display of exorbitant wealth.
@freedom feels lonely.
What you want a picture, or is a selfie ok?
Both will get you four dollar fifty cent....just go look at the soldier account, then call them out for their hypocrisy of what constitute "value" and "worth" on here.
Your name is like a bad joke, I can see why you enjoy negativity, you thrive on it do you not, enforcer lol, what a bad joke!
Took you almost 2 years to notice that?
Ok Boomer.
Your actions stand, as do mine, though mine was more giving, yours is full of negativity. and that is what will kill this place, the negativity!.
I can not believe you lot still reply to me.
You all know better than me. come on
Yeah, we know what could happen. Some bimbo will get granted the right to post pictures of dimwit woman smiling with HI! by it and make forty dollar fifty cents for such low grade effort that has seen the architect of this scam that NO ONE ELSE would get away with half way to dolphin in a couple two, three months. The hypocrisy is astonishing on here. It is true, the winners and losers are chosen, only the winners get to cheat their way to the top and all others can go to hell....then you wonder why the platform is failing.
Dammit! It's sure a more fun place with you around.
They made it so, I care not for profit, they do, I give more than I take, you can check my steemd. Fuck em, enough, shepz1 last time, and peace out.
Sux this does seeing our upvotes given to you ripped away not fair on you or us upvoters😠. Has been great having you back and now you leaving again. Some of us have some steem so hope you don't take us down to zero value eh. Wish you would stay mate though I respect your decision and I wish you and the family a great time over Christmas and hoping a great year ahead 😃

I am past caring for this place, you are a superb human being, Thank you for your comments and friendship. You have me by email, I hope you keep in touch, and I wish you and yours a superb new year and a truly wonderful xmas.
Fair enough mate and thank you. I will email you sometimes 👍.

Bruh... That's the thing. The reward pool is everybody's business. The problem is so few understand that and even less are willing to adjust something they feel is overvalued.
That's freedom, my dude. Just like you use it to buy votes which many feel is, in essence, a bribe. Others feel that sort of thing should be countered.
Just the way it is. If you wanna be about freedom, consider that it is indeed a 2 way street
Why dont you go make your oh so great Christmas post in Facebook you motherfucking piece of shit?
Like I need to see your bleached, burnt and cliched post on my trending feed because you chose to promote it.
No, this is not the concept of operations of steem, even though a large majority have adopted it in the past, explicitly or implicitly in the shades. Even them know they are betraying the spirit of the platform, yes a platform started by a shady as fuck ninja launch, still has stated horizon goals.
The protocol, my friend, since day one, has had downvotes, maybe you are too new, clueless, intellectually dishonest , just want to be free to milk the cow to death or I dont know, but please, can you stop bitching in such a ridiculous way ?
If so we might even end up having a conversation.
I will take your hatred, I will take your anger, I never did it to you. Look closer to home!
shut your piehole
Are you screaming at me. Do you want to fight me, Bring it, Enough of this shit
Lol, bringing the engagement.
Sorry about that downvote, i follow that guy's trail.
!dramatoken
No worries, unsure why you choose to follow a trail of negativity though, merry xmas.
Self defense, abuse was killing us.
I apprised you of that when you got here, but, of course, you plowed ahead with your own steem.
Maybe now you will stay with us in the 'good' content trenches?
The abused become the abusers, I get it, history does in fact repeat!.
It gets in the box, or it lives under a bridge!
Hello, bridge!
Gonna be 63f, today.
6c here, merry xmas,
@tipu curate
Upvoted 👌 (Mana: 0/10 - need recharge?)
Thank you for the tip, but the problem is it brings me more morons wanting to downvote it, because they are morons.
Nah, they only show up when it goes up to $15.
As this is my last post or article on here, can you not just fuck off? Sick of you now.
AHAHAHAHA
Don't kid yourself. You will keep posting.
You will NEVER leave.
BS!!
I had to block all payments because I was flagged for receiving a 0.20 total reward.
Now I can have fun, support those who are attacked by your kind (even if it is only moral support) and make use of the blockchain for my own purpose, without me contributing to Steemit.
Lol my kind? Idk who you are on about but we downvote vote buyers. So, you are clearly have no idea what you on about.
I’ve seen you go about stuff cluelessly since I joined the platform.
So go bs yourself.
I’ve had fun and supported people without issues since day 1. You are just spewing excuses.
does not say anything good about you, for it means you keep quiet when there is injustice - unless you can make money out of it.
Lol keep on dreaming Arthur.
Dreaming may be what I may be accused of if I express a hope that accounts like yours lose a lot of money.
My previous statement was only a observation of what appears to be fact. I find it interesting that in none of your comments (to me or to shepz or to anyone else in this post) did you dispute or debate any points or accusations made against you - all you have done is swear in anger or make emotional accusations.
When someone can only respond by insulting others, it either indicates a total lack of ability to reason, or else, their own guilt is blocking them.
I wonder which it is with you.
The hypocrisy is beyond real. They'll nab you for twenty cents if you are not a dimwit female waving a smile handing you a HI!.
Should I declare myself to be a female?
It would feel very odd.
:)
Nah, stay comfortable in your own skin. lol.
Well, let's see, how much of the rewards pool is taken daily when an account (the soldier account) has made it half way to dolphin in two, three months time posting picture of people smiling waving a HI! by it?...talk about abuse, low quality, low grade efforts ripping off the rewards pool.
That’s in the works.
Nuclear isn’t always the first option.
Yeah well by the time you get around to doing anything about it she'll be able to nuke you.
Then go do something yourself.
I've already been nuked trying.
Flagging my comment....you should be ashamed. Looking over some of her stuff the other night I see where she posted a pic of herself saying some shit along the lines of living life for yourself...she's going to "live" for herself alright, the photo of her with that bit of type brought her almost twelve bucks. She upvoted herself...which I don't know the percentage but I would imagine the bulk of it came from her as most listed on under her account don't have a whole lot of sp under their belt. Two cents here, three cents there, next thing you know it's five, then ten, then twenty....etc., and so forth for practically doing zilch.
I don't know why you bothered to answer him. Haven't you noticed that he has not made ONE noteworthy post - all he does is play that one note, trying to make himself sound like he is the steemit policeman.
The problem is, he sounds more old-fashioned, more something like those SS monsters who took advantage of the power given to them and ran around destroying the lives of all who do not submissively agree with them. Always, those who think of themselves as special cannot hold a decent conversation or debate - all they can do is scream and swear like a toddler having a tantrum fit.
Now you see why I block my posts and comments? It is to prevent the evil army of the marxists from downvoting me. Since the money is worth jackshit, why worry about it? Let them play with their toilet paper. As for Rep? I would have to be like this person for me to go up, so why bother, when I can stay where I am, one and with the few decent people.
I just give up, they can have this place, they can be as toxic as they want. Merry xmas my friend, love and respect to you and yours.
Maybe we will find a way to turn this next year into something more productive and happier - even if it is on some other platform.
btw - my arguments with the vile idiot who only knows how to swear and insult, but never able to counter any accusations with logic or reason, have continued. I am enjoying them...but I do it using reason and logic :)
