Another point of view is that perhaps the whales and dolphins lost their focus for a while too and a greedy mist descended in front of their eyes as they grabbed handfuls of referrals....you don't even need anyone to send you the bytes, you can attest yourself at a small cost.
Some may say, all the recent gripes about the airdrop is just moaning from people who had their referrals gravytrain hijacked...
It's a pity no one had thought of this when the first post was made by the Byteball team, but it was too late. Were there no background discussions between Byteball and Steem inc beforehand?
Is there an ethical difference between members taking the piss and creating millions of new accounts to make money to members desperately trying to get their hands on referral cash by offering to 'help' others attest their accounts ? Not sure there is.
It's a whole sorry affair that has again shown humanity at its worst.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
After the Bitconnect desaster no one ever dared to shill any coins on steemit again I thought. Byteballs desaster is by far not as terrible as Bitconneeeeect. Yet the actual teaching of Bitconnect is to fucking properly research the shit that you promote.
My feed is full of shills since 2 weeks or so. From people who I thought are legit and good users. And the reasoning behind the promotion is like "I can´t guarantee that it´s good, but I really think it is because hurr durr".
Just another omen that steemit is going downhills.
What a great reply. Thanks for taking the time to comment :-)
Exactly, I am also seeing that people who complain most about the referral system are the people who profited most from these referrals, who made the referrals their "gravytrain".
Some even say big words like "they supported Byteball airdrop". I mean, what kind of support is that if you just making money from the referrals? Support would be if you explain the users that: "hey, you don't need any funds from somebody else, you can do it without my referral" and "here are ways how you can use Byteball with Steemit".
Most people missed the point of attestation too because the main function of attestation is to have a Byteball address in
steem/usernameformat, so others would not need to know any Steem user Byteball address, they could send Bytes directly to their username if they know that this user is using Byteball too.Totally agree mate, but Im just putting it down to a temporary loss of judgement in this particular case as @markymark is consistantly a great poster and top bloke who gives an awful lot of time and effort to the community and is my top witness.....some of the other whingers however.........

Whilst I admire the work you do, It is my comment to which they replied and therefore my choice to reply. Instead of flaging people lile this who get no benefit and are nothing more than annoying,why not go after reward pool raping members who open multiple accounts with the sole aim of upvoting their own spam comments with their huge delegated SP? This is pathetic and you should only flag people who are reported. Lay off my posts ans comments. Youre only doing this to get rewards anyway @steemflagrewards @iamstan
my comment, my choice
You can choose to love comment spammers it is your choice.
I talked to @themarkymark about this spammer on HIS post. And he agreed it is ok to be flagged. If you will look he/she/it has totally spammed this post.
I don't think there is a thread rule where the first person on a comment thread sets some rules for that thread! Maybe you should make a post about it to your followers and they can follow your thread rules.
Comment spam will be flagged no matter where it is on the blockchain.
Congratulations, you're doing a fine job. The whole Steemit experience is so much better for your flags. So happy we have a gang of self happy flaggers wandering around flagging 25 rep 'comment spammers' who make zero difference to the rewards distribution whilst so many of the huge self upvoting dolphins and whales continue to autovote each other to riches and no one dare say or do anything....Do you not think if it so concerned people that anyone could flag a 25repper from view, yet most choose not to. I reached outto this one, anyway.
Like I said, awesome work. carry on, I consider myself berated.........
@nathen007 actually we give them a break if they are really new. But someone who has been on steemit for a bit and has only posted Plagiarism and spam doesn't need to be here. That account is one of those cases.
We hope to remove them or change them before they can build a rep that can not be punished.
I agree with you that we have many large stake holders that abuse the system and I would love to be able to stop them. Until everyone is involved in the process of flagging abuse it will never happen.
I cant do it alone, but what I do all day every day is try to clean our steemit of all abuse not just 25 rep accounts. We are working on things you cant see or dont know about.
Please dont think that what you see is all we do.
Come by our discord server and find out the truth before you frown on us for trying to make steemit a better place for investors of time and money to participate.
I absolutely apologise. Having a frustrating grumpy day and took it out on the first person who crossed my path. I am sorry.
Thank you for replying and an apology to Markymark for continuing this convo on his post.
I've thrown hundreds of flags in my time and reported countless to the Steamcleaners, I noticed your bot asking Bernie for a delegation earlier in the week about the multiple accounts bought on microworkers, I was originally the one who picked up the buying of accounts there and reported it. I even wrote about in a post just after I first joined Steemit last november, no one gave a damn. Its not just the one person you know doing that, there are at least a couple more, doing it rather more discreetly, and one of those i know for definite who it is, they have some big name autovotes and they are a 60+ repper, their posts are bought articles and their pics from google and they make hundreds per crap post...No one will touch them. Like no one dares to say anything bad against the greedy circle jerking autovoting dolphins here.
On Steem, there is an untouchable royal family.
I mostly hang out i n 'new' and last week I watched all the new accounts being voted up by the bid bots for 3sbd each to get them over the 30rep mark and be able to claim their Bytes airdrop.....no one appeared to be doing anything about it, and now the said bidbot owners are up in arms about people sniping their referrals.
One well known robbing resteem scammer even threatened to kill me in comments after he refused to return 36sbd someone sent him in error and I called himout about it, he then copped some flags from somene else on his upvoting accounts, then flagged a full weeks posts and comments worth about 50usd, told me his 'people' knew where I lived and would kill me! Its all on the blockchain to see. Hes a robber and a scumball, but again, no one gives a fuck.
This is why many are too afraid to get involved,
Too much corrupt fucktardery here, its just a computer game where the most devious, or already wealthy person wins. I get frustrated
This is why I got grumpy at the spam comment flagging. A crap reason, but not an excuse. I was bang out of order with my attitude.
Apologies once more @iamstan I will try and catch up with you and your crew sometime on discord as I could give you hundreds of leads.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend
