How's it feel to be building your personal echo chamber? Do you really care about people or are you more concerned about your persona and what they think about you?
You understand your whole approach seems to be about essentially lulling people in for what they can hope to get from you?
They see your payouts and think "Gee golly that person must have money!". I wonder if you really have much to give your followers after your vote selling overlords take their cut. I am doubtful of such a possibility.
I keep it real and I must say that I despise your methods because it puts the common man at a disadvantage and that makes you a scoundrel in my eyes.
Make no mistake. You along with the other incorrigible vote buyers are my adversary but a certain person has told me to love one such as you. Therefore, I persist for the betterment of this platform however you seek the high seat with your constant bidding.
The LORD Jesus said something that I think applies to person such as you.
Luke 14:10-11 KJVS
But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee. [11] For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
I think that may partially explain the philosophy as to why I do not use the bots as you do. I think about about my disadvantged brother or sister that is striving for the seat the bot owners give you but you do not see this, do you? You are building a cult following of people that want something.
You deceive yourself if you believe they are following you out of the sincerity of their heart rather than what they may acquire through their sycophancy. The discerning know better.
Look at Haejin. All that rep and hardly a soul would trust a man as that. What does that say?

If you read my old posts, you would know more about me and see that I help people. How many Steem have you invested in the last month? This helps people if you do not know. How many US dollars have you donated in the last 2 months? I donated over six thousand to people who did not have anything to eat in their countries. If you are already satisfied I can tell you that I am more than you in not having you in this community (blog) Regards. You are disrespectful and negative and that is enough for me.
I've see you from the beginning. Have you seen @themarkymark's recent post? You are literally the number 1 taker from the reward pool.
Congratulations on your investment but I think you are missing the point. I read a recent post that had some profound implications about social media. How we use it says something about us and have you ever stopped to consider what it says about you.
You may call me negative or disrespectful but the fact of the matter is I am frustrated and disappointed. I did invest my Bitcoin and now my tokens our worth about a fourth of what I put in.
In my heart, I want to fix this place. I would love to dismantle the bots. I want to empower people and communities. But our method's stand in stark contrast to one other.
Motivational speech is great and all but do you really need the bots? Can you content stand on it's own? What are you afraid of @chbartist?

Upvoted for visibility. I think this is an interesting conversation for a number of reasons. First, the use of the rewards pool for promotion. There is a limited amount of Steem created each day. It is quite sad to see so much of it used for promotion. I would rather it be used to reward popular content.
Second, is @chbartist's work popular purely because of promotion or does the merit of the content itself play a big role? The answer to this question is obscured because of the bot votes. Frontrunning of bot votes further adds to the problem. @chbartist has been very successful prior to joining Steem, I would expect that would earn more upvotes as well. A few unpromoted posts would give us a better idea. The above statements apply to anyone putting their content on trending using bots.
We can blame vote buyers and vote sellers as much as we like but the frontends (steemit, busy, etc) of Steem have yet to offer a viable promotion alternative. Adding promotional services to a Steem front-end doesn't require a hardfork. So we can't blame witnesses for that either.

I expect he could be successful here without buying votes, but he seems addicted to doing so.
I expect so. He has a very strong following here and has support on both Facebook and Instagram. I would love for him to test it.
Well said. He may say we are toxic for criticising him, but he fails to see the damage he causes to the platform. His greed for rewards that he mostly buys creates false expectations and reduces what others can earn. Shouldn't he thank the bots for seeking him their votes? He's got all over double my followers. Let them decide the value of his posts.
@anthonyadavisii, I would like this whole community to see your comment is no sense sense. What do you know of me to call me a scoundrel? You have no education and you do not know what we are building here in this blog for months. This blog has its foundation in respect and this you demonstrated not knowing what it is. You do not disrespect me only by writing on a level that I will never lower my words. You disrespect the whole community we've been working hard for months.
About Hajin that you mention, I do not know him as a person, I know he's criticized for voting only on himself, and even then I do not judge him because how can I judge someone I do not know, besides who buys millions of steems Do what you want with them. Buy your millions of steem and do what you want with them, too.
But people like you I've dealt with thousands in life vines and know what they do? They measure others with their own rule. I'm not like you because I do not judge. Take care of your blog, invest in steems, upvotes generous people, make donations of thousands of dollars as I do not only in steemit but throughout my journey and then you can try, I said try to say something about anyone. Put yourself in your place and know what you still are not!
How many Steem have you invested in the last month? This helps people if you do not know. How many US dollars have you donated in the last 2 months? I donated over six thousand to people who did not have anything to eat in their countries. If you are already satisfied I can tell you that I am more than you in not having you in this community (blog) Regards. You are disrespectful and negative and that is enough for me.
You need to learn what it is to have respect. If you want to be a sheriff, stay in the US and run for election to be one. If you want to be steem sheriff, control binance, bittrex, bloctrades and the stock market. Sorry, but you see, it's a boy or a child to talk to me and I've spent my time with you too much.
Regards and success with your blog !!!!
From All Community knows and All Of Us that effort all day to be this blog better! Don't burn your upvotes in comments or persons like that. Stay Alert to not upvote in comments like this.

Good reply @chbartist ... is better don’t pay attention to toxic people. We are built this community with a clear philosophy and without use or to hurt someone.

Hi @royer94. These conversations are very important. We cannot necessarily see or understand everyone's full intentions but we can analyse the impact of their actions. The rewards pool is fixed. Many people are concerned regarding the amount going to bot votes or 'promotion' as some insist on calling it. For Steem to grow, we need the right balance of rewards going to various parties. These include content creators, curators, passive investors, developers, applications etc. Evidence suggests that too much is going to passive income (vote selling and bid-bots) and not enough to curators. In other words, people are earning more for looking away rather than looking at content.
I notice you are very new to Steem. This place can be quite confusing. I suggest you read as much as possible about the Steem ecosystem. Good luck to you.
Hi @spectrumecons, I appreciate your explication of Steemit system, and also I appreciate the way like you do it. I think that almost everybody in Steemit use bots to bust their accounts and I don’t know any bot illegal inside Steemit system. With regard to the posts and the activity of @chbartist I think that he post good contents and do a good work of curation. From my point of view the intention of @chbartist not is only take money for himself, rather he is helping to guide one little sub-community in @Steemit and improve our stempower to each one have a positive impact on Steemit. Please if you know something different feel free to talk with me. Thanks.

Hi @royer94, thanks for your response. @chbartist writes posts that are very popular with his followers. He makes effort to read comments and rewards good comments. That is a very good thing. He also encourages others to help each other and has made direct contributions to people. He has also powered up his account which is strongly encouraged.So there is no doubt there is evidence of his generosity as well as good intentions for Steem.
However, @chbartist spends a lot on bots. It appears he spends more than anyone else by a significant margin. I can understand that people use bots for visibility. I have written several posts that indicate that vote buying does little for visibility unless posts get on the all tags trending page or on very popular tag trending pages. Even then, many of these posts make very little money.
Spending so much on bots reduces the rewards pool for other content creators. Very high valued posts also creates unreasonable expectations for new users. It encourages new users to also use bots to further reduce the rewards pool. Spending on bots also reduces the visibility of other people's work and thus forces them to also use bots. In other words, spending a lot on bots is harmful to the community. Many people are angry with @chbartist for doing so. These people lose rewards and opportunities because of this vote buying.
I understand you @spectrumecons. Then use of bots must be restricted on Steemit in order to be more equitable?

I wish but I don't think so. There is a lot of money to be made from bots and vote selling. I think it is more likely that we will see changes to the reward system.
I apologize for calling you a scoundrel. I don't know the intentions of your heart but you made the top of that list not for giving but taking.
I am not disputing that your blogs have value but let's be honest about our contributions. How about letting the people decide?
I think it is safe to say you are well established with you audience now so are the bots really necessary. Why?
ou would benefit more if you had my coach as someone here in this community. But you only see for one angle. Through your own angle or prism. I really regret that. I could even write more for you, I accept your apology, but on other issues sorry. If you want to be respectful, I will be at the steemchat as I have always been with a very busy life and I can not always respond to everyone and on the same day that they write to me. But poorly I do not agree with disrespectful attacks especially when they are public. Like I told you. Buy 1 million steems, use it yourself if you want, use bots, do not use it, do what you want but you will never see me visit someone's blog to attack, give flags or be disrespectful. May you have all the success in the world. Just remember that Steem is not based only on the Steemit platform. Regards
good! but in Russia this platform appeared not so long ago.So help me get started and understand how this platform works.
Talk to people and build communities around your interests. Make it fun and don't worry too much about the money. That will come if you are doing good stuff. You don't have to buy votes like this guy does
Good!
