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

Yes, I honestly thought I could have a civilized discussion with you. I guess I was wrong about that. You're just a petty little bully. Those 40 cents REALLY hurt me big! Yay!

Now go ahead and find some of your "community" comrades to finish me off - and shoot yourself in the foot some more.

EDIT: I finally understand why the STEEM is performing as poorly as it is. Thank you for this most valuable lesson.
