LOL good info for who?
The whales who now have eliminated another 'civilian' from raping the rewards?
The guy was utilizing the system EXACTLY how it was designed to be used.
Yet he had to go. NO CIVILIAN SHALL RAPE. ONLY WHALES.
This initiative is so laughable that I wonder if this markymark really does think he is Marky Mark there making sure that the Funky Bunch can get to go party backstage like they were accustomed to.
This is what steemit is developing into.
BOT RAPE PASS ONLY when you are granted that right by those who run them.
YO, YOU WANT IN ON THIS RAPE PARTY?
OK FIRST, I MUST APPROVE YOU.
RUB ME RIGHT MINNOW.
No, it's that is out of my hands. I am not the Steemit Police, I can only deal with things I have control of, and I can control an abuser fraud with 51 accounts from using my bot.
You're a damn witness! You're not a nobody around here. You're NOT powerless. Anyway, these minuscule "return to the rewards pool" achievements are a valiant effort yes, but fall way short. It's like watching someone expel water with a bucket out of a sinking ship.
It's as productive and idiotic as the initiative of berniesanders thinking that his little flag poke is doing anything beyond embarrassing his sorry ass and creating a fragile platform for everyone else to move cautiously and lethargically on.
That should really be everyone's concern.
What is the real consensus of stemmit.
Within these walls, it doesn't mean shit if they all know the words to the song. It doesn't mean shit if they all sing along.
What matters is outside of here. What is spoken during that moment of "word of mouth". Sure there are many virgins who like many, fall for the concept. For every virgin though, there is many who speak negative about their experiences. Many have been here, and then gone. Never to return.
The most dominant reason:
A VERY BROKEN REWARDS SYSTEM.
Yet the movement to onboard more and more seems to be priority. Not communities anymore. Well that's a double edged sword. More users will have a positive. However, the more that come and go.. and then pass on their view.. that the platform is broken. A SCAM even. Rigged. This is not how systems and platforms grow.
Even with a dedicated campaign, a reputation is hard to shake.
One cannot build a mansion without a solid foundation.
You have the same false impression many do, witnesses do not have any super power to stop any abuse (nor is it in their job description, I do it by choice).
Stopping abuse is merely a system of who has more Steem Power. I can, however, stop them from using promotional services I offer to further their efforts.
I'd love to know your "return to the reward pool" achievements. Maybe we can compare notes. I blacklisted over 200 people this week from abusing the system, how many have you?
Shit if one individual could initiate 'grumpycat' and force a new code of conduct for the bot owners and users. Then it would indicate that ranked individuals do have powers which they might not be aware of, or maybe.. don't wish to explore.
And as you say, you do it because you choose to. (which I applaud) So to chose not to is thus an option too. One exercised by many. That's the thing. That many who are here long enough know via observation. It's clean up here, this, that... but all that going on up there. .. .... .. . . ..
I have zero invested here but interest. So yeah I can't be an equal to you. Obviously your end question was rhetorical. I appreciate you engaging in conversation though.
@grumpycat also wields a huge hammer, is able to cause damage to lots of innocent people. I refused to yield to the demands of a hypocritical terrorist because of the way he went about it and the fact he does the same thing with his comments, even though I completely agreed with the end goal.
I eventually changed it because in the end I believed in the reason behind it and I had bigger issues to deal with and newer users were getting hurt in the process.
It cost me a lot but such is life. But I think you are disillusioned if you think I have the power to change much here outside of what I control. I tried that as well and well that didn't go well either.
I've come to terms that I need to focus on what I can control or influence.
@teknow look at the screencap. He's taking in way more than that. I'm not disagreeing with you, however.
I think whales taking thousands would be too meager an estimate. Maybe tens of thousands
But @themarkymark? Out of all bid bot owners I have interacted, he is likely one of the most principled. I mean he actually made a decision to sacrifice his curation rewards in this case.
I don't like bid bots in general but if I had to choose one to endorse. It would be his.
And that's exactly the reason why I advocate to BAN THE BOTS from Steemit. Furthermore, it is not only me. If someone has the technical knowledge to do a survey among all users of this platform, I can assure you the vast majority want the BOTS GONE
Think there are good bots and bad. Take @gentlebot for instance. He upvotes non-self voters. That is really cool because greedy self voting is largely incentivized. I hate it with a passion and my adamance against them (pattern self voting and excessive bid bot use on subpar content primarily) has drastically inhibited my account growth and influence.
Some people say the only reason they use the bots is to keep from falling behind the more manipulative trenders. I can kind of see that but I just can't bring myself to go with the flow when said flow is directly contrary to my ideals.
I'm going to make a reasonable attempt to change things with my meager minnow power and scripting ability but I will eventually make an ultimatum to myself as to how long I will tolerate it.
I have ideas for a more equitable blockchain based social media project. If all else fails, maybe our kind can come together and start something new. Something with a more fair rewards system that is stake neutral in terms of authorship.
I know the whales probably get annoyed with my complaining ( I am doing something about it tho) but I am certain that most fellow principled low stake holders can relate.
Yes, there are some good bots, I like the Chetaah bot that identifies plagiarised content. The problem is that it would be almost impossible to review all bots to determine which ones are good or bad. Thus the solution I propose is to limit accounts to one per user and NO BOTS. Anyway, I will start promoting the concept of NO BOTS and while we minnows do not have any power we have the numbers and if we stop following and upvoting whales they will be forced to listen to us

Yeah MarkyBitch...... THE TRUTH IS NOT SOMETHING YOU WANT TO DEAL WITH.

I owed more then what you sent @buildawhale
...
The rewards are back in and this guy is here to steal them.
I think we found a new campaign for @steemflagrewards. @lasper you are now on our radar.
lol Oh no he's taking $2. The outrage.
Whales taking thousands...... no no... we don't go there.
@teknow look at the screencap. He's taking in way more than that. I'm not disagreeing with you, however.

Yeah I must agree themarkymark is a good guy here.
Fuck it though, this is still a pointless initiative.
BOTS grew to BE the system.
Now everyone's papers getting checked.
Not the Whales though.... hand on cock and staying that way.
Now up we go.. and down... and up.... and down....
lol sorry.. this pic is too funny.
