RE: Why Ethereum Will Never Reach Another ATH

in #ethereum5 years ago

.... a bit overly bid-botted. In the future, please leave some of the reward pool for the others. We are having a shared economy here.

Sort:  

"I remember back when I submitted my first #introduceyourself post and went a little crazy with the bid bots"...

Said no one ever... :-)

Oh I see, it's an #introduceyourself.
Hopefully @ethsensei wont continue at this pace.

But it kinda shows how people view this platform. Unfortunately.

I don't understand what the problem is.

Thanks bid bot police, no one really cares how much he spent on bid bots. In fact, if he is willing to pay extra sbd to promote his post I'm taking him more seriously. Your comment is a distraction for readers and should be replaced by an automated bot that watch over bid bots

You're exactly right. Either one of them could have done the exact same thing I did. It seems like they have a dislike for the bots, no matter how they are used, which I can understand. But they really shouldn't waste time critiquing my use of them, they both seem to be grown men, you would think they had more important things to do.

Thanks for saying what everyone is thinking.

I think it has been demonstrated that people do care, particularly people with stake in the platform who actually care about protecting the reward pool from abuse. You are entitled to your opinion, but are equally as ignorant to the OP.

And the whole system is designed to be self-policing. Some of us actually bother to participate in that effort. I shouldn't have to explain that either.

I don't understand how steemit works. I'm an eth dev and investor. I used $70 to promote the post with bots. Is that not what they are for?

as usually, the captain is right. Listen to him, instead of downvoing him, @ethsensei.

I checked both of your blogs and didn't see any content that was as good as what I posted. I think you are trolls.

Bid bots are a contract between you and the bot operator, they are not an inherent feature of this blockchain. As @captainklaus said, if people feel you are being disproportionately rewarded, they can return some of those rewards to the reward pool. It's your choice if you want to take that personally, but it's a bad idea, especially if those people are attempting to explain the mechanics to you.

I find it strange that you are so new to STEEM and were able to bid bot your first post, but don't understand the wider implications.

You guys seem crazy to me. Here's my take:

  1. bid bots are legit or the steem police wouldn't allow it to happen
  2. you guys are mad because I used them
  3. ???
  4. profit

There is no STEEM police, it's self policing. Watch.

Flagged for bit bot abuse and retaliatory flagging @steemflagrewards

And that's how you get muted. Cheers.

STEEM police!!! that guy's fantastic!

Thanks for participating here, @joshman.
and to wrap it up some !popcorn.

The downvoters are the Steem police.

As mentioned in the whitepaper:
Every day the reward pool is distributed among all post, according to the upvotes.
If you take a huge chunk, there is less for the others.
You are also taking a part of the reward pool that is in no proportion to the content you provide.

On steem, as there is no police, everyone has to decide for themselves, what's ok and what not.
In my humble opinion, the use of bidbots beyond a payout of 50 is not ok; also people notice this and take you less seriously.
The fairest way is to constantly provide good content, maybe invest 5-10 steem here and there for bidbots, be consistent and patient.
Greed's the biggest killer of all.

btw.: As you said, you pay for it. The profit goes to bidbots.

people also might frown upon self-upvoting comments.

and: A downvote is a very bad reply to serious critizism. I mean, I spend time here explaining steem to you.
Shows how new you are. I'd tread carefully.

Why don't you spend more on bid bots or make better content, isn't that how a free market works? Are you a socialist/communist?

Are you a socialist/communist?

Are you entitled?

Do you notice I am not downvoting all of your comments I disagree with? This is because I understand the mechanics of STEEM. Downvotes are not personal attacks, the fact you are viewing them that way and retaliating says a lot. The fact you did used a service that most people don't on their very first post, doesn't absolve you of the reward mechanics of STEEM. The free market as you stated, means that people can return rewards to the pool if they feel a post is over-rewarded. Over $100 for a few paragraphs and a photo is disproportionately higher rewards than others get for similar content.

Perhaps if you are new you should take the time to actually learn the mechanics of it, or at the very least, be more receptive to people attempting to explain them to you.

Very well said...

what exactly is insane here @lilgabesta?
