RE: In Response to Shayne's Post - A Tale Of Two SteemIts.
Sorry, @whatsup, you dont fall into the norm, allow me to apologize.
(I still think your attitude is defeatist, though.)
Stinc may well succede at hijacking what steem couldve been, and that is a shame, if you ask me.
Once folks accept that the world will continue on in the absence of a rothschild controlled central bank, it will be easier for them to accept that we can do better than crapitalism, too.
It was invented as a term by folks supported by the rothschilds, after all.
Steem couldve been a catalyst in that change, but now it appears to be headed in the direction of being just more of the same with different names on the doors.
I hope the depth of emotion your acquiesence makes me feel is apparent.
It gets old being a lone voice in the forest, and i didnt expect your change of heart.
Regardless, i hate seeing you throw in the hat.
Its starting to look like you may not be the only one, some others are coming out as supportive of the bs, too.
Enough that im wondering if it is coincidence, or coordinated.
Not using bid bots seems defeatest to me. If you deserve the arbitrage earnings more than others why not go after them?
Not using voting bots is a principled stance against bs that was known before the hardfork was enabled.
I maybe screwing myself out of getting to rape the reward pool, but i really, really dont want to be a rapist, eh?
The day will come when that will matter, and the blockchain will exonerate me from guilt.
Stinc knowingly enabled the rape, now there seems to be a push on to get as many folks as possible to get dirty with them, i will pass, thanks.
Enjoy the rewards you take from the support i do get.
I will be surprised if you dont end up in the hole overall.
You could at least upvote yourself so I can upvote you. I had to burn through some of my @whatsup charity dollars just so I could upvote you with my massive 78 steem power at 3.3%. lol I do have principles when it comes to not wasting my votes. lol
I find it hard to believe they couldn't have come up with an ap to run voting bots. You like the autovoter thing don't you? That is a bid bot scheme. I won't use that thing because it uses some votes.
Sorry for using a bid bot on you. OK maybe I'm not. lol ;)
I am still figuring things out. I have done a TON of math calculations while I have been on steemit. lol The 25% curation thing does suck though. Right now my account seems to be doing pretty good but we shall see. It feels like I am the most motivated user on this platform. I self upvote every single time and promote every single one of my posts and I refuse to waste a single upvote even if it is a 3.3% upvote with my 78 steem power. lol Seems like I should get cut off from voting pretty soon but it is almost time for bed anyways.
Yeah, selfvoting was part of that hardfork, too.
When i have extra vote power i vote my comments with two cents or less, i thought to give a curation reward, but now ill have do it to salvage them.
I guess ill have to play with steemworld's sp simulator to find out what the minimum sp is to not get rounded down in the math.
Ive got an account with low sp, @antisocialists.
Oh I thought you could always self vote. The minimum payout is .02. 1 cenr upvores are worthless. You can use steem rocks and math, I'd recommend 3 cent upvotes in case steem price tanks.
You could self vote but the n2 made voting others more valuable by stacking votes exponentially.
Now you get the same regardless if self voting or voting others.
Hopefully the new way works out better in the end. I think it might but hard to say.
Actually, to be fair when I reread my response I also found it a bit defeatist as well.
That is why I like to talk about these things.
It isn't coordinated in my opinion it is a lack of any vision, so... Why not?
Recently, since coming into interactions with you, i had expanded my steemvoter to broaden my reading list.
Naturally, most folks dont fall under my confirmation bias umbrella.
This becomes obvious after reading a week or two's posts, but i thought i had found a few that 'got it', and today i removed two from my rules because they said some things that would only lead to me trolling them, better that i mute them, and move on.
I was on the verge of removing you, too, but you redemed yourself by calling bs on what i said.
Lucky you. 0.o
Anyway, ive been having luck finding votable content in new, so i guess i can use my vote power there on posts of less than a dollar because sooo many folks in my rules, close to 200, have stopped posting.
Thanks for being in the search for truth.
You have a unique writing style. I followed you. Hopefully the bid bots work out for me as I steal from your vote so eventually I can give it back. lol ;) I'm generally brief so you might not like my posts or style. :(
You may be right on paper but the reality is bloggers who aren't as good as you are gaining and beating you so I think you should reconsider using bidbots.
The other issue is a lot of upvotes like my personal upvotes usually don't even count unless I use a bid. most It's also hard to predict the future so by me using bidbots if a newbie upvotes my post I will actually earn the rewards instead of it being a completely wasted upvote like 1,000's are on this platform due to the .02 threshold.
Thank you, im not many folks' cup of tea, either.
What is up with this cant beat em join em crap?
People rob banks, should we start doing that, too?
If i can get my wifi to act right, i will add you to my steemvoter and give you a read.
If you dont start getting votes from @freebornsociety remind me in a day or two.
Overall I like your style. I laughed at how hard hitting it was with your viscous one liners at the end.
You're hard to debate with online. I got frustrated and made a video. lol I might put it in my blog post tomorrow. I think you're overly good at debating. I am convinced I am right about the bots but not really convinced I can win a debate about anything with you online. lol
You do automated voting? You might get a lot of earnings if you upvoted all of my stuff. I use bots on everything. I'm broke right now though thanks to whatsup so there will be an even longer delay on my army than normal. It was fun though plus he gave me a lot of upvotes.
Pretty sure he is a she,...
Yeah, if i didnt autovote i wouldnt be able to keep with who is who.
I tried for a week, but i couldnt find anything worth reading because i forgot all the usernames.
My wifi is screwy, i dont know when it will come back.
As for using bots, i guess i should rob banks because lots of other people do it and you cant stop bank robbing, might as well join them?
I appreciate your kind words, we will see how long you hang in with me,...
Really? I got a sugar momma finally? :) lmao
Do you have a cell phone?
OK I finally got you on that one. Good luck trying to rob a bank. That argument is totally invalid. You might be able to get away with murder but good luck trying to rob a bank.
Wow I was worried I would scare you away with the video and spamming the heck out of your account. lol
What kind of wifi are you running?
I'm curious who you are.
According to my data i will most likely get the last word in our conversation.
Im not sure that sugar is all that accurate, but momma could be.
She is, at least, real, as far as i can tell, so far.
I dont have a phone, atm. It might be awhile, i dont like them.
Banks are a tough nut to crack.
I wrote a post not long ago with shin kicking in the title, perhaps that is a better analogy.
I havent watched the video, it wouldnt load.
Two days ago i could have, but something happened last night to slow the wifi waayy down.
I dont know what yet, but it was happening at the source, too.
So,it is upstream from the guy that runs the wifi.
The funny thing is it lets some pages load faster than others.
Ive been steeming all day with only delays of minutes but other pages dont load at all.
I think somebody is using the server to mine bitcoin.
Im not technical enough to give you details on the modem, but its the best east central mexico can afford, im sure.
The guy is a lawyer.
Thanks for engaging. :) I find it fun and challenging, I am comfortable enough to know I am not everyone's "cup of tea". I enjoy talking to people with different points of view.
:)
FYI I was only able to upvote your comment thanks to freebornangel.
You have some .02 upvotes in your comments that I think you should upvote to make sure they all count. There might even be some .01's as well. https://steemit.com/@whatsup/comments
