You and your upvoter accounts are connected with your wallet sbd tranfers. This can be interesting for investigation for sherlock holmes.

Hi @verdanas,

No investigation necessary. You're right. We actually are connected. We're part of a really great Discord group called The Unmentionables. We are all about trying to get our members' content promoted across the platform, and that includes in high profile posts like this one. If you're interested, come check it out.

Also, have you submitted a post for this week's Upvotable? I'd love to check it out.

That's nice but here this is not fair to others. Please don't take advantage of your connections. I didn't submit but i checked all posts in 3 or 4 upvotables and i'm really dissapointed because many took advantage from their steempower to win. I tried to warn jerrybanfield but he seems to not have much interest to spend much time for this.

I would argue that Steemit is all about connections.

You seem new here, and it doesn't look like you've done an intro post yet. Check out the Steemit Etiquette Guide There are a lot of great tips on how to build a successful account there. Creating great content and engaging others on their posts is a big part of being successful here. Our community isn't about trying to be unfair or game the system. Our community is about supporting our members, no matter how big or small and encouraging them to be great. We hope you'll join us if you're interested!

Also, share some links of some posts you think would be good candidates for this week's upvotable. I'll definitely take a look at them.

This is excuse for abusing steemit, upvoting and commenting to take advantage and win rewards. Connections are not meant for abuse.

You two are arguing past each other.

You are saying "everything should be 100% merit", which is great in theory, but you are living in a fantasy world.

He is saying "humans are social creatures, social (ie Reach) * merit = rewards."

You will never force the world to make it Merit = Rewards. You must give up and adapt or forever be unsatisfied and at odds with your fellow man.

i think the quality of the posts will always win out..
i think its a bit harsh to call this abuse.. i do agree that this is really more like great co support.. UNLESS their post was not good,, but it was!

Investigating your account, you don't actually seem to blog. At all. So I'm kinda curious what your stake is.

Whereas I actually do my best to create quality content and promote quality content created by other people.

It would be nice to see some content produced prior to the launching of witch hunts.
