VIDEO : STEEMit hack, to get more views
Being able to comprehend is all that's needed to reprogram my mind.
Trying to prove, disprove, or ask questions about reality is me setting limitations for my self, life is more fun just being free.
Say it, let it go, then forget it, and it will show when you least expect it... Craig :)

I've notice that since the hf19, a lot o people have slowed down on the upvoting. And I guess. I understand it. But I have also noticed that mostly minnows are up voting a lot. And that's great. I don't know, what are your thoughts on that?
people slowed down in order to build up voting power so they can then upvote their own comments @ full power and get the best rewards...lol HF19!!!
Yeah. I figured that much.
It's silly though.. What was the point of the update if posts are making less now since bigger accounts aren't voting as much..?
the blockchain is coded to mathematically balance everything out, does not matter what anyone on steemit does, it's a blockchain
I see.
@sash-pacino since HF19 I personally have not been upvoting as much because I turned off any voting bots I was using. Now Im only voting manually. Which decreases how many times I'm voting.
This change has also made me interact more with the community because now I'm actually reading everything I vote on and if its worth voting for then I will also comment 99% of the time.
Yeah. There are pros and cons to everything. It think it probably makes people think more about what they post too.
Yes exactly. I now have to review everything before voting and I have not found a less time consuming way than reading every post.
It's all good, the connections I'm making with other Steemer's is well worth the extra time it takes.
Well, the funny thing, is that I've made more off of this comment than on my last couple posts. But I followed you. You seem to know your stuff.
I used an upvote bot and I can;t remember the URL to shut it off. it was one that @craig-grant recommended.
Just change your steemit passwords on the Steemit platform and the bot will stop working unless you re-enter your new private active posting key
Many of us minnows cant slow down our voting power with the slide, so we pretty much get dry fast...
Minnows like me vote a lot ... because nothing happens ... we can still see it as a 'like', as it should be. The whole monetary thing could eventually bring this thing down. I thought the idea was to bring great quality content to the internet, but it has become a numbers game. I'm only 2 weeks here and I figured this out. It's a shame this place is great!
This is a brilliant strategy @craig-grant I been doing something like this with great results in the form of followers and interactions.
I was 1st focusing on making blog post but I find I get better result's from commenting on already great post's. I dont always upvote my own comments and if I do I equally upvote the post and comments.
thank you for sharing this info.
Don't people get pissy about people doing that? Seems like people freak out anytime you try to promote or do anything of your own on someone else's post
I think posting comments is good, but don't link to your other posts or say "please check out my posts" in the comment.
For me, that's when it crosses the line into spam. It feels less like a "comment" and more like an "advertisement." But when a comment is just good and NOT self-advertising - those are the people who I actually click on and might follow. Of course everybody has their own opinion, that's just my two cents.
I think usually it can cross the line into the spam. However, it might be ok if your self-promoted post is super relevant to the topic on hand. For example, if you're commenting on post about why rewards are declining post HF19 and you have a post on the how fast the rewards pool is declining, it might be acceptable to mention your post in the comment.
So many unwritten rules of Steemit and people interpret them their own way i guess
Yes, that's very true though I think there is a consensus about certain things like for example it's usually bad to use the introduceyourself tag in a post other than for your first introduction post. There's a lot of new Steemit users who have gotten in trouble for using that tag to boost their views on all their posts.
so when you do it, don't do those things, do it the way you would like
but if can afford to upvote it to the top, then you might get a pass
Ok cool, will have to try that out. Thanks for the tips
Good tip Craig. I've been doing this for a while and it seems to work
I'm smart enough, I'm creative enough, and I'm good enough!
I need to work on those things I don't know I don't know :)
I love the graphic. Soooooo true!
This comment has received a 0.08 % upvote from @booster thanks to: @stefanarud.
I like how you share your Steemit wisdom as it comes to you freely in the now~
I have been following you a while because of these lil gems.
This is a VERY good idea, breaks no rules and actually contributes to the community rather than just taking advantage.
Great post!
@craig-grant, good thoughts, as always.
For me, a core part for consideration is "value." I'm not against self-promotion per se, but I prefer to think that I am adding VALUE... and I realize that is pretty subjective. I don't dig the random spamming of "please read and upvote my post" that has become more and more prominent. On the other hand, comments that actually show that someone read (or watched, as the case maybe) the content followed by a contextual comment with a link... that's a different thing.
Why do I care? Time horizon. Purely trolling for short term gains tend to kill long term viability. Think of "value" as a barrel of clean fresh drinking water. Add a few drops of muddy pond water (spammy self promotion) and it doesn't really make a difference. Add some more, and it's still probably OK. And "OK" means that people coming by (aka "potential new Steemians") will look at the barrel and think "Yeah, there's drinking water here!" and join. However, if you just keep adding dirty pondwater, eventually the new people are going to look at the barrel and think "gross! I want no part of that!" and then we have a problem. Stagnation... which tends to lead to a slow demise.
But that's a time horizon issue. Are you/we here to make short term gains, or are we here to nurture and grow a place where we can still make gains 5, 8. 10 years from now?
Not saying one is "right" or "wrong," just throwing it out there for general consideration.
I apreciate your tips craig-grant. Im new here just trying to learn how to figure this out. But your guidance is truly helping...

This is pretty awesome, but how long will this last for?
Expected to be changed next hardfork?
next hardfork wont change anything
