I think it's also fair to assume that about 60-80% of the remaining is 17.4% that isn't from @blocktrades are automated vote chasing the very predictable curation reward.
so what is the common issue? It seems it's this blocktrades instead of us being set up to go destroy each other for the overlord's amusement?
Is that it? I mean surely I find it interesting that some entities aware of violence (some towards women especially yet finance those who have paid and endorsed and are balls deep in it, ;) )..... then pay the ones off that make some money, some....... I think collectively SOME are over this shit. If anyone would like to discuss this further, I am game. Some of you know EXACTLY what I am speaking of.
*some people that are AMAZING have sp through them but SOME DO NOT AND YOU GOD DAMN KNOW IT
I only say meeps
I called streemian bad when they wanted my active password, once I figured out what that was, over a year ago,...it was the first time I changed a password, and I still don't know how to get them out of my steemd front page.
It is now readily apparent how raping curation rewards is not helping the value of the platform.
We should be charging for new accounts by now rather than having to make excuses for the .01%, imo.
Do you mind explaining how you handled that? I'm new to steem and think I may have given streemian more access than warranted.

Amazing post.I'm new on steemit I'm following you please you follow me.I hope you follow me.Have a great Success.Thanks
i pity yhu
I'm New on steemit please follow me for my little success.Thanks
That’s not the way to success ! Why begging?! Better to write interesting content instead and work hard like most of us do!
yes i agree with u dear @nishchup
thanks
I mean it and hope you did learn something here
I'm sorry but I think that begging actually works better than "working hard" to write "interesting content" because the word interesting is very subjective and is that as this post suggests there is a self voting scam (for want of a better word) in place where people basically make sure that their work receives maximum exposure and profit due to nepotism would suggest that it's pretty pointless actually making a real effort.
oye, el nepotismo siempre va a existir en cualquier campo de la vida, pero plantearnos nuestros propios retos hace interesante nuestra vida y ejercita nuestro maravilloso cerebro, y un esfuerzo real y sincero evitará que poco a poco nos hundamos en un profundo abismo.
I'm sure that it does. In fact I know this but my point is that in this particular instance there is absolutely no point in raising to the challenge because there's no possible way of overcoming it without drastic change from the perpetrators.
I say this because the layout of this website is so flawed that even if you take the monetary rewards which induce these people to act the way that they do, out of the equation and just look at the exposure that any one post has, you can see that making an effort on THIS site is pointless. When you sign onto Steemit what is the first thing that you see other than your feed? The trending posts. Not the new posts but posts that have already received a certain amount of acknowledgement and financial rewards. There's both a trending page and a hot page. Why? So that posts which already have a lot of attention can get more?
If the user actually makes the effort to open the new posts page they find that the tags aren't sorted into alphabetical order but are ordered according to what I assume are the most used tags. "life", "photography", "steemit" etc. This makes finding posts on a particular topic that the reader might be interested in reading even more difficult and the search function doesn't help much. (But since most people on here don't actually bother to read the posts anyway, does this really matter?)
The five tags limit is another big problem because it significantly reduces the amount of relevant sectors into which a particular post can be slotted to reach readers who might be interested.
Then there's the layout of each users profile where we can see that instead of being able to sort posts into relevant groups. For example keeping the blog (by which I mean more diary like) posts separate from things like news, fiction, photographs etc. Everything is just lumped together and for the people who are serialising their fiction or writing consecutive related posts this is a sort of vague annoyance.
So with all of these issues and people doing their absolute best to make an already flawed system becomes even more deeply unfair, where is the ability to conquer the challenge?
Actually the best thing for this site as it is now is for fewer people to post so that those who are already popular can reap a larger percentage of the rewards. I personally don't need to waste my time creating original content and posting here when I can just read other people's mostly plagiarised posts and comment on them instead.
Amen.
You run a bot that people pay for upvotes. You are the last person to judge who gets what.
Hey dick smooch, zip your lip.
right dear i agree @nishchup
whatever happened to sweetssjw, a lot of us are missing the travel blogs and watching much success while posed by food? We are starting a petition to demand the trending page only start with "my dearest steemian friends"
What’s trending page lol 😂
that thing that people like to torture themselves with by looking at it or something....
also for new users is like rolling out a welcome mat of shards of glass
Addd some chili salt and lemon juice for the extra sensation!
She haven't made a new post in 9 days... My best guess is that she's on one helluva vacation right now, so she'll soon be back with a series of posts from her latest travels. - I'll give it a few more days until we see her $300+ posts on the trending page again. This time, even more frequently.
Oh Wheeeeee, I know so many of us are eagerly anticipating this with glee.
A lot of us were very , very worried that maybe some bad chef put the wrong decorations into the soup bowl and such......so glad for the update, am sure all of us can now sigh a collective breath of relief
She's also behind more than 23% of her own total rewards and she's become a business woman on Steemit too. Selling votes and all. - Pretty cool what you can achieve with 500K delegated power.
Yup. I'm jealous. I'd take 500K SP for a couple of months anytime.
she had far more than 500k SP and nothing says lovin' like approaching tons of minnows for 10 dollar upvotes...... @berniesanders , I would like to see what he thinks of that,
Yeah..
She's actually at: 793,044 SP right now... But I'll settle with 500K.
I would offer 2 for 1 deals for the first customers, so I'd be earning several hundreds of dollars per week in no time.
I have it all figured out. Just waiting for the 500K.
I can't comment how I'd really like to on here, think some of the right people are finally feeling not alone about their STINC about some of this :)
see, keep enough division then we can't unite and in sheer numbers and power say,screw that and change it.... it's up to us to care, and only us
@sweetsssj used to do it in the 4 and 5 digits, but you know, more 'less favored' riffraff spreads the rewards a little farther,...
She does bring a good post, imo.
I liked the drone,...
Why are you or others giving money to lots of us here on the sweetssjw account? curious
@berniesanders @hitmeasap not attacking, very curious op/ed why apparently such sudden generosity amirite? <3 kisses
Did you, perhaps, get this comment under the wrong comment?
At best, combing the two accounts, i can give about a quarter, more a wink at the reward pool than an assault.
It isnt easy for the antisocial to earn rewards here.
The very first feeling I got was:
... A few seconds later I thought:
I am glad and I appreciate the upvote and the rewards. I really do. However, it felt a bit odd. Especially that both of us, or all three in fact, received upvotes.
When I realized that, it hits me like a brick.
I am thankful but I am still jealous, just like I stated in my above comments earlier. I would love to have such delegation and vote-selling business too.
That being said, I do like her articles and she definitely deserve to be rewarded for her contributions. I'm just not comfortable with the insane rewards + the vote selling business combined.
Especially as the delegation were free of charge. At least to begin with. - That's basically to bite the hands that feeds you, and get away with it.
I might be wrong though.
Maybe she's taking a bath with all the money she made on steemit.
they lol drakos, nice art
LOL haven't been paying too much attention to trending...not really sure...
Well some delegation was pulled like a shit ton, did some women get pumped and dumped? Am going to organize a protest for this and march on Washington with a pussy hat and some bongos .....singing a song I wrote called, "Give me back my Chanel Shoes" I really hope I can count on all the wonderful support of the powerful at Steemit to back this cause.
I'll give my support if you wear the hat, sing the song and enter Tuesday's contest.
I'll make sure to bathe in Patchouli oil and absolutely have my Chakra/Kundalini game ON
I crochet pussy hats. Tell me where to send you one.
lol, can you do one with a landing strip mohawk type look?
hell yes
Will be difficult, but not impossible. I can also crochet leggings so your legs will stay warm. It is cold this time of year in Washington DC. I would help fund your trip, but well you have seen my wallet. lol
Besides I think I still have a warrant for protesting against McCutcheon vs. FEC. Adam Kokesh and I have a great deal in common.
for the win....sgt-dan
Amazing post.I'm new on steemit I'm following you please you follow me.I hope you follow me.Have a great Success.Thanks
sir what's my fault, why you down vote me. If I make a mistake, please forgive me for the first time. please Sir.
re-michellegent-a-stealth-attack-on-authors-now-20171130t224845178z
Bernie would you be down in knowing of a new series we have coming out called "parody accounts" lol it's going to be a true blast!
Its going to be sweet like Ben and Jerrys.
Very sweet!:)
ohhhh this is gonna be good :)
Sad thing is shes not even a good lookin slut either. What a shame.
How dare you assume it's gender?
Nice, you used my link..or why else would there be this arbitrary number of 34 days to look backwards?:))
shh mack-bot..stay!
Am also hesitate about this post, how do clear?
I did. Thank you for that.
Alright Big Bern, I see where you're coming from and I also despise the current reward raping process, but the way we are going about solving it is also not working. There has to be a compromise somewhere. How about talking to the people who use these autovote functions? It seems like you are addressing the symptoms rather than the source of the problem. I hate that the current autovote programs give such a huge advantage to established steemians but what solution is there to it? We need a roundtable discussion.
but I do NOT upvote myself.
Being Poor, I can only afford the three upvotes (automatic) two of which go to bots that return them to me...does that qualify as an "auto self upvote"?
I've only been in Steemit since last June, I've crawled my way up, with some help a few times from
@curie (whale) but for the most part my posts garner me from $0.10-$0.50 each.
I'm just voicing my confusion here. I don't want anyone to be cheated.
I am no whale and don't think people like us trying to tread water with piranhas by upvoting our work is the same as the rampant bullshit going on....the SP that will be sold at massive amounts can be used as a weapon. I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with anything am just saying that if you scroll down my blog long enough you will see how fun selling SP can be as you can grind someones blog into the dirt for talking about certain evil things...feel free to find that greyed out mass but it mostly was saved thanks to the whales who saw me as a "firecracker" with nice legs apparently
Where can I see those legs? j/k - keep it up
I also have nice legs!
I'm supposed to know that according to some people, right? lmfao
see, this is a good time to turn the tides and save steemit from the real bad guys.....oh I started a Discord channel called Discord where everyone can play fight each other as Mortal Kombat characters, I just threw a Kitana fan at someone
On my Blog, you can't miss them
How have you not read my blog!!!! I'm like super fucking important on here
Alright, I found them and I agree, they are nice legs. Followed.
Mission Accomplished! Senpai noticed me, finally
Use your own stake to build your account. Give yourself an upvote.
yeah like this, I'm now upvoting myself so hard
@battleaxe hilarious!
Keep plugging away, your audience will find you,...
Who are you talking to and I hope you are joking, pretty sure some of us here are just fine and are actually looking out for others
you having a swell day? hope so <3
Nice sticking your nose in where it doesn't belong.
You can thank the developer that stacked the comments this way.
I’m
Confused too. I just realized I could vote for myself. 🤣 is that wrong? 🙀
Depends on who you ask,...
Don't you upvote your own posts, when you post them @eaglespirit?
@jerrytsuseer yes I do, is that the wrong thing to do? It almost sounded as if it’s not looked upon kindly to do so?
Hi @eaglespirit, that kind of upvoting is allowed, almost expected, otherwise they wouldn't have put that option there. 😉 the only bad thing with that, is it automatically depletes your voting power, which you may not notice or realize as it's happening.
I think what is being referred to most often, is the practice some people have (and I don't quite understand how it could work) of creating multiple steemit accounts, and having those accounts upvote your ¿main? account? then others see you being upvoted a lot, and not knowing any better, like good sheeple and come along for the ride and start upvoting as well.
You can invest your own Steem and pay to have your article put in the "Trending" category too, which will bring more votes, even though your post is crap.
That is how I understand, albeit imperfectly, what all the hoopla is about.
Yes!! Now that makes total sense. I’ve seen some strange things going on and I could th figure it out. Thank you for explaining. I still do mornings understand how upvoting takes away money from my own post, and I see people saying I feel they upvote a lot their money goes down that way too? It’s almost like upvoting I should punished. 🤦♀️ I upvote a lot since I’m reading and may like what people are communicating. 😑 @jerrytsuseer
Do you use Steemnow.com? Or some other site to track your money?
With Steem Now, you can watch as with each upvote (it also shows you exactly how much your 100%vote is worth) your vote power drops.
So now, even with using my bank to purchase steem (which increases my vote power) I am down to where my vote is only worth a penny.
And it will take more than 2 full days of NOT UPVOTING ANYTHING, for it to come back up to 100 %
It's perfectly fine to self-upvote.
Ty! I think I got it now. I also read upvoting comments is not so good? I’m still trying to figure out why my numbers decrease? Why or how voting power diminishes too?
Upvoting/downvoting comments is fine too, it's part of the system. Every time you upvote or downvote, your voting power is reduced. It replenishes at a rate of 20% per day.

Thank you!
I don't think so. Isn't it natural for folks to be naturally biased towards their own material? Would that not make this practice counterintuitive towards content quality which would invariably affect the perceived value of the platform. If an author believes that their content adds value to the block chain, is all this self-voting and vote buying really necessary?
The self-voting has been an endless debate. There are pros and cons. In my view, when authors spend time researching, creating and writing content, they should have the right to upvote it, and that's what the platform allows them to do, so why not do it? Of course, if they chose not to do it, it's their prerogative. Naturally, if self-upvoting is done in an abusive an repetitive manner, other users have the option to downvote.
It will continue to be so until something changes. I'm afraid flagging is not enough for this problem.
Unfortunately, it is a mechanism that is indiscriminate towards any of the criteria you noted and there are not enough people flagging the problem of content that is overvalued due to excessive vote buying and self voting. It's just the nature of the beast right now.
No, what I'm referring to is much different.
I spoke to @blocktrades about his voting and he does not care.
Okay, so what other options are there? Because what is happening right now is not working. Steemit needs active, dedicated users for long term sustainability, but also a reward system that is fair. What is "fair" is open to interpretation but scaring off users is not going to help our platform longterm
a lot of the good people have left, you have foxes guarding henhouses and that seems to be working just fine for some...... if you think big business gives a shit how sp is delegated or to who , think again. They will give it to whoever makes them more money regardless of who that individual or group of individuals are. I'm just here to make a few bucks, write about what I damn well want and watch "Blockchain Nihilism" at work...AND SINCE so many with such massive SP delegated and such upvote themselves hundreds and thousands of dollars I'm upvoting my shit just the same way and think a wave of us little MINNOWS are fed the fuck up and will do the same, :)
RIght, there always needs to be checks and balances in a system like this, but there is no reason that there can't be a forum about this where leaders have more say than the average user. After all, we are the reason those leaders are where they are, so we've entrusted them to make important decisions. You won't be able to make a few bucks if this "blockchain Nihilism" collapses on itself and the value of steem goes to nothing
In this there is no teacher, no pupil; there is no leader; there is no guru; there is no master, no saviour.
You yourself are the teacher and the pupil; you are the master; you are the guru; you are the leader; you are everything.
And to understand that is to transform what is.
but some in charge said that, and some give zero fucks, lettn' ya in on a little non-secret ;)
I am your friend for life...well said...youre awesome!!!
Can you help me understand what you just wrote? It sounds pretty good but I don’t get half of it. 1. Blockchain nihilism, 2. Sp, 3. People upvote themselves thousands how?, 4. Minnows?, 5. Side question, what’s a whale? 😆🙌🏽
Why don't you think it is working? Just curious.
Yeah! Now what @jasonshick said sounds Real. Did anyone come up with a “fair” solution? I’m
Not sure I’d ever make money from steemit but if it does work, and we can all make money and be a community that’d be the Sheet! We all learn in college people get greedy, therefore, it doesn’t appear to ever work. I’d like to hope mankind could overcome greed or laziness and we could do it. Maybe there’s still a little idealist left in me after all.
Well, until @michelle.gent decided to write her latest rant I was planning to just move on and let @blocktrades keeps wasting his votes on that junk. Like I said "whiny morons don't deserve rewards" and those that are earning by bitching and moaning about being flagged and using the system as designed will be handled.
I think there are a shitload of problems that we need to fix, and sometimes there will be casualties along the way, but if we can come out of this situation with an actual solution and not just more grudges and problems, then I'm all for it
Hey @berniesanders, here's a comment you might like to downvote.
https://steemit.com/sbd/@aggroed/sbd-pump-in-progress-usd1-96#@damarth/re-aggroed-sbd-pump-in-progress-usd1-96-20171202t094338327z
Good choices bernie.
2 whiners who 'rage' quit post... and dont quit.
Cant stand that crap.
Like these users actually believe they are entitled to those rewards...
Once again, i must remind everyone here on Steemit:
If you figure out how to make it "not about the money" you will enjoy steemit and, you will most likely do alot better here.
Nobody is entitled to shit around here
@generation.easy I’m trying to understand the difference between not caring about the money and popularity on steemit? I notice the “following” is the same as any game on Facebook. Who your friends are brings you awards since they may gift you or vote for you. Are people even reading the content of a post or just voting because it a friend ring? I’m still tryin to grasp terms like whale, etc. Also, I see people posting photos: one of a “17 year old girl” if that’s really her account, a guy who posted a hospital photo of his mother dying and a girl who shows her A$$, and then they ask for upvotes? All Looks suspicious to me! Then I’ve read posts of people talking down to others yet they’re guilty of saying “follow me.” In my first week on steemit I’m finding quite a bit of hypocrisy. Just a newbie here trying to find the real people that want to contribute, write positive content, and survive the Apocalypse ... 🙋🏽♀️
