Special Note!
If you're ever interested in some actual entertainment, come visit my blog where I don't give a fuck about a goddamn thing anymore and since these posts on the trending page push me one inch closer to the fucking door every single goddamn day, I could use that support before I'm forced to fade away. So one big happy fuck you to @ivananalsky or whatever the hell your name is (thanks for the free advertising) and to everyone else...

Have a nice day!



Update: Well it looks like our shit posting trender here decided to add a few more photos to this post. Isn't it amazing how all it takes is a few downvotes and some honest words to help encourage these folks to put at least a tiny bit more effort into their posts? One would think if a photographer was spending money to advertise their skills to the world, they'd at least want to put some effort into their promotion in order to convince people their work is of superior quality, right? I guess that incredibly basic beginner level marketing logic is a little too much for some folks to be able to wrap their heads around. Oh well, live and learn.

We do note, however, that the flags of those still interested enough to care don't even make a dent in the pending rewards of shit posts.

I noticed this the other day, the bid bots have made it pointless to flag shit content. You have no effect. Even if there are as few of you doing it.

so i guess now either as a community we have to unite and do something or steemit.inc has to finally take the matter into their hands. I wonder is it so hard to somehow make all this posts appear only in the promoted channel?

If that happens i think in a week the problem will be solved

Interesting. Thanks for putting a different perspective on it. I saw nice pictures of Rome, and I thought about my great trip there, which took me down memory lane. Is the problem that he (as I am reviewing) posted absolutely no content? I'm guess that is it:). Just photos.

The post originally only had one photo of Rome the first one.
You can bet this guy was planning on doing 5 one picture post. Now he has added the other 4 after everyone was complaining about the crappy content in trending.
There is a big problem on steemit where people are not reading good content but just self voting, buying votes at steembottracker.com, vote selling, and complete voting farms that milk the rewards but do not produce quality content for steemians to enjoy.

It will have to be seriously addressed soon or the platform will be destroyed.

no the problem isn't that his post was just a photo. You can post whatever you want even your toilet. the thing is that he paid a good amount of money to buy upvotes for a post of a single photo

I try to get one a day! Thank you for also helping!!!

How hypocritical it looks! When you use the services of bots yourself! You smell bad!

I never shitposted 1 picture for $750. Oh wow, you added more pictures! Still not worth $750.

Its price less..!!! Its about history and great warriors...!!!

No doubt. I'm not debating the value of the real monument.

Lol, a single picture is in top of the trending page. This post is the face of Steemit for a few days. I want to give advice that only promote or use bid bots in a blog or post that has value or put your hard work on it.

People don't really give a shit about quality content it seems like. They just wanna make huge bucks and appear to thousands using bots. I wish it was the other way :/

As for me I don’t think this has to be flagged, all cheats will definitely be caught on the predestined day

Oh that's a relief. I will have to mark that in my calendar.

Lol.. well he listened and added more to it but @ivanuralsky do you snap those yourself?

I wish quality posts would be given more attention but unlike you I don't think this post is worth downvoting. This single picture could tell a story of about 5mins read to someone, one can never know, but well people see things from different perspectives

I understand you and I could give him his post all the votes but I still think there are other things that are worth staying up there in the trends

It's a shitty picture too!

Yes it is. A shitty picture that has been proudly upvoted by @buildawhale.

Yes, I made the picture, I bid for the vote, I knew he would use 30 bots, and I knew it was coming. Get a clue.

There could be clear cut guidelines in place that if you use @buildawhale for something like this, the vote will be pulled and the person doesn't get a refund. If you've already taken money from people that are blacklisted in the past and not returned it, I don't see where expecting you to pull a vote from garbage like this is a stretch. Do you want repeat business that hurts the platform?

edit
For clarification, I'm not trying to single you out here, but most of the other bidbot operators don't really seem to give much of a shit about stuff like this. In the grand scheme of things, I understand the logic that stake weight is essentially being rented and whatever they do with it is going to happen, but I don't think anyone is going to be upset with you if you pull the vote and tell this guy that you don't want his business anymore. If you do want his business and don't give a shit, then don't bother defending yourself on the "It's not my fault he misused a service I offer" comment above. Just my two cents.

Shit posting is good for bid bots and upvote selling businesses . As long as there are shit posters that cant get exposure in any way on their own, you will always have someone buying votes.

The worse the content gets, the better off bot owners are due to a bigger pool of potential users.
There is nothing more Anti-Steem then bot and upvote services.

@themarkymark can make all the blacklists he wants but you simply cannot escape that.
Bots live from shit posting. You can have an occasional, "sure, maybe this deserves a 1000USD if it was voted for ORGANICALLY"... But it still remains that it was self upvoted. Its not really trending, it wasnt picked by the community.
There just isnt a way for bots to be used "properly" and not fail.

Every time a shitty post makes it to trending with an upvote from @buildawhale, people are going to blame you. It does not matter if it is your fault or not. It does not matter if you have a blacklist a mile long and spend 20 hours a day updating it. This is the world you are in. GET A CLUE.

It must be great to carry no responsibility at all, yet still make money. Kudos!

It's funny, I am the only bot owner (out of what like 100?) hunting spam, plagiarism, abuse, removing votes, flagging garbage, and blacklisting bad actors that ends up costing me money, and you in the peanut gallery only talk shit about me.

Have it, I got plenty of popcorn.

Good for you Mark. Throwing a bucket with gasoline on the fire with one hand and using a water gun with the other.
Maybe the other bot owners are just honest in their greed to not participate in the discussion riding this out till the house burns down...
Honestly.. I have no idea why you even try anything. Its not that any critic will be amazed by the work or that you will do any tangible good to offset the shit posts trending...
Your grandious statements of greatly developed personal moral sense isnt convincing me.
Kill buildawhale and youll convince me.
And btw... Did i win your comment competition of the number 1 issue Steem is facing? Or was the winner picked based on your personal opinions. 😘😉

I do more in one day for Steem than most do since they got here. But sure tell me how I suck. I got popcorn.

That fig leaf doesn't stretch quite far enough to cover the rather nasty side-effects of bidbots and delegating to them.

We are, however, not surprised you have plenty of popcorn.

This guy has had a 3 month break from posting articles and even comments. Then suddenly this. This is unbearable. Is there anyway to fix this so it is fair by all the other users who work very hard. When something like this comes up in the TRENDING page on top people are all going to get upset.

We don't necessarily mind a single photo on trending with over $700 pending in rewards, but it would have to be a masterpiece, and this isn't even a very good photo.

Definitely flagworthy.

At least high resolution images ffs, not some crappy downsized jpg's.

Agreed and flagged. We want outstanding posts on Trending. They whole vote buying thing is crazy now

you speak right bro.....only photo on trending.........????

Right I agree with you.
@hiroyamagishi

This looks quite unfortunate but let's see where it will take us in the future. Overall, I still think steemit is worth the time and effort.

That's the spirit

Wow, great photo! Great use of lighting and shadows!

No, he's not joking.

Average comment for you to self vote ;)

Thank you my friend!

While that is a beautiful photo and quite interesting, I disagree with it being the highest paid post on Steem today. Flagged for disagreement on rewards.

Why do you have to justify yourself when you flag?

I actually do it to try to point out it is SHIT and should be wiped.

That's what McSteemy is for.

Still, never seen it in real life

@edgarsart, it is very big! Really impressive! Be sure to go to Rome! There's something to see!

oh yea, it is something i think everybody in this world has heard of

Wow, such a quality picture. In my opinion, it worths $1M, why you stopped promoting it? Maybe we need more bidbots. Hell why not? we need to convey the message to people that steemit is all about quality pictures like this. Thanks to bidbots for helping us conveying it.

My respect!

Oh, and guys, don't forget to follow him for more "interesting" pictures.

Note: Self-voted for visibility, it's sarcasm dude.

We had to grin at this, but would like to point out not everybody here understands irony and sarcasm 8-).

True, added a little explanation of comment in the last line.

This is a shit post. But I upvoted so you get a McSteemy.

Flagged because of disagreement on rewards.

So sorry, but this just isn't a photo worth over $700.
