RE: Claim your free hero in an upcoming blockbuster crypto game!!

in #gaming5 years ago (edited)

Down voting for shilling a different crypto and platform that is not related to steem and thats not adding value to steem in conjunction with the bidbotting.

@steemflagrewards
Bid Bot Abuse

Sort:  

Talking about other projects is not necessarily a bad thing.

I don't really fancy myself a topical downvoter either.

Maybe this is just a personal down vote case then. I agree that "Talking about other projects is not necessarily a bad thing." But I dont think this post falls into that category, personally.

Agreed, over-rewarded is over-rewarded.

Even though I agree with the downvote since the post was over rewarded for the content it provided, the reason that you specified isn't really good in my honest opinion bud. This is a social network/blogging platform, talking about other cryptos should be allowed, especially since that is how many crypto enthusiasts come to STEEM, me for example, I was searching about ETH info and stumbled upon STEEM, any and every information should be allowed on STEEM, especially because the world is wide and there exists a person that likes each type of content, we need more users, restricting steem to a "only steem talk allowed on the platform" would actually be detrimental in my opinion.

Still, the post was over rewarded for the type of content it provided imho... This is still early days, so the community is still trying to develop a sense of what and why to flag something.

Sorry for the long text :/

Not sure when did the concept of overrewarded came in. I have seen pics of flowers gaining hundreds of $. So how come a game review deserve lower rewards. I can understand if gaming Dapps is not someone's cup of tea, but downvoting it just for that reason doesn't make sense. WOW, a lot has changed after my last post here! So much tribalism and maximalism is not gonna help Steem moon. I used to post on Steem before any where else, but now it seems Steem is not that welcoming if you are not Steem maximalist.

Oh, people are gonna downvote now because they now have subsidized flags.

Trending your posts now is a much more dangerous endeavor than before.

Wow, that's strange. I am not sure why they want to downvote content just to utilize their subsidized flags. I mean that's just demotivating to post any content in the first place.

People are tired of bought votes on trending. So...

Ah okay, got it. So main issue is with using bidbots and not with my content. Thanks for explaining.

Oh no Sir. They want you to use the bots! They are the ones running them. So send as much money as you can to the bid bots. Unfortunately there is a catch. After you do this they will rob back money earned by the vote which you paid for, and which they TOOK money from you to give to you those votes.. and then will blame you for using the bots which they run, and profit from. Remember only they can earn money, not you. You can always just send them money transfers direct to their personal wallets.. then after that go in your kitchen and get a big heavy can of soup, or better yet go out into your garage and get the heaviest largest bucket of paint.. and then you will want to drop it from very high up in the air.. onto your foot.. but don't stop there! Pick it up and do it to the other foot!!

That is about the size of using their services.

Cheers!

Koo koo Koo koo

The bidbots are the reason for the flak. Seems people have a hard time explaining that.

You figured on this page as one the largest rewards made by bidbot votes: https://steemwhales.com/clean-trending/

I won't downvote you this time, seems you suffered enough, but I did make this link-image to explain why I am using my downvote (and I plan to do so against posts like this). Hopefully it gets the message through a bit better. Liked your post :) Cheers.

Well, funny that my post trended with 30 SBD. Who knew that trending would become a nightmare. So I get it that bidbots are no-no coz people believe that policing behaviors on Steemit will help Steem. What's the best way for a minnow like me to get attention to my posts without bid bots? I don't want to work on a post just to see it vanish into darkness. Do u guys also downvote when someone uses steemit promoted feature?

I am not sure why they want to downvote content just to utilize their subsidized flags.

Because of the way the inflation system and bidbots works and was being used.

I have seen pics of flowers gaining hundreds of $.So how come a game review deserve lower rewards.

This has changed since some days ago, we now have a downvote system, everyone gets 2 downvotes per day, most of the community is using them on posts that dry the reward pool out of inflation, so, those pics of flowers gaining hundreads of $ would be insta downvoted with this new system.

If you understand how the reward pool system/inflation system works you will understand why those pictures getting hundreads of dollars is very bad for the whole STEEM ecosystem.

So much tribalism and maximalism is not gonna help Steem moon

With this I do agree like I said, all types of content should be allowed on STEEM, no matter what content we are talking about, that's why I commented under and gave my opinion.

You got downvoted mostly because of the bidbot usage, if you don't use any bidbots or use them but not by upvoting your own posts to hundreads of dollars I think you won't run into any problems.

What this new system is doing is that it is trying to improve the distribution of inflation, which is finite. If you really like STEEM long-term I'm sure you will understand that an improved system of payout distribution will make the whole ecosystem and content on the platform better.

Although, we really don't know how things will turn out, if this system is better or not... let's wait and see

PS: I did like your post and I am considering playing the game.

I didn't upvote my post to dollars. Maybe just a cent. But I get it that now I shouldn't use bit bots even though they keep running as usual. The money is eventually flowing in the Steem ecosystem anyways. But whatever, if community thinks that it will help Steem improve then so be it.
Between, thanks for liking my post.

Not to sound harsh but, shouldn't you be focusing on @memehub? :P

(just cause I see you steemflagrewarding everywhere)

I juggle and try out a lot of things. We are testing our steem code for HF21 atm, so we will go live soon (been hitting hurdle after hurdle) and my flaggings will drop off.

Downvoted. Reward too high for a two-sentence message. HF21 at work.

Followed ya. I’ll keep an eye out for ya next post with rewards if you wanna play that game. ;)

Thanks for responding and thanks for following me! Perhaps you checked my past posts and saw that they have an above-average threshold of originality and effort. I will be expecting your upvotes accordingly.

At this point, however, I don't know whether there will be another post. I might just be curating instead. With up- and downvotes. I just powered up, and there may be more coming if it pays.

The "game" as you call it, is following rules I didn't make. Are you seriously disputing the rationale for my downvote? I'm just protecting my new investment.

haha, the reason you dont know whether you will post again, is you know that your low effort and low value posts being bid botted like you did, will get downvoted to oblivion.

Im not goina argue with your troll "rationale" but you might wanna watch who you take swings at with that bs when you dont have the SP or community support to cover your ass.

Are you really such an arrogant ... ? You're pretending to be such a pillar of the community and are nothing but petty about a little (justified) penny poke. How sad. If the "community support" you're referring to consists of folks with such attitudes I'm probably better off without it.

With that out of the way, I urge you to actually LOOK at my blog. Every single video is purposely produced semi-professionally exclusively to the Steem, at a cost of roundabout $100 U.S. a piece and many hours of work, all told. If you truthfully and without anger over a little poke consider them "low value" and undeserving of the rewards they show, then WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT? (as a curator)

I have a long Steem career including the heyday (with those fat organic rewards) behind me and started this acc't as a test to see whether one could get ahead with honest work and marketing alone. And the result? NO - thanks to HF22 and misguided downvoting zealots.

So, truthfully, there won't be any more videos. It"s too expensive and too time consuming to develop organically.

Unless you have another idea?
(Or you can belittle me some more, like a real big man.)

Are you really so arrogant to think I care what you say when its a load of crap? Not my fault you are not smart enough to pick your battles either shrugs

What!! So now I can't even review or promote other Dapps on Steemit? I have to only talk about Steem on Steemit. What's the use then. I've promoted Steem Monsters, a Steem gaming Dapp on so many non-steem crypto platforms and I've never seen anyone saying me that remove this content as it doesn't belong to our chain. Your downvotes are the first downvotes I have received for content quality since the time I joined Steemit, around 2 years ago. My gaming Dapp articles have been curated and upvoted by Curie and also mentioned by buildwhale many times in their quality articles section.
I am posting after a while and what a nice welcome I have received. When did Steem community became so toxic. And if bots are not allowed then just say it officially then they are not allowed. This behaviour will only discourage people from sharing their opinions on Steemit and is nothing less than censorship. Please think again about if my post really deserves this massive downvoting. Writing about Dapps is my forte and if I am not allowed to write about it here, then it would be kinda sad for me.

You will notice that the flag hast been approved so theres no official flag from an antiabuse group. So the downvotes you have received are from steemians who disagree with the amount of rewards your post received from bidbotting. Maybe I should have explained better but its been explained more indepth in the comments.
