So I just noticed that one of my Posts was Downvote by this account @GrumpyCat because According to it my post was and I quoted "Trash" and I use Voting Bots, something that ALL Top Steemit Authors use.
My Posts was about a video which I share on my Youtube channel with over 12,500 subscribers. Content on the video is in Spanish which is my main language:
Do trash gets over 6K views and almost 200 likes in Youtube?, No Stupid Grumpy Cat, it doesnt. Our videos are Top quality stuff and we are one of the biggest Youtubers in the Spanish market for cryptocurrency content. This GrumpyDonkey probably doesn't even know Spanish and yet he call my content "Trash".
So I went to see one article made by this GrumpyCat person because heck if he is downvoting people based on quality of their content he must be doing God's work with his account:
But nope, he is using his account to post stupid shit, low quality shit to be honest, and upvote himself with other Whales accounts. Funny thing is that he is using Bid Bots too
This is not the first time that a Steemit old time use his power to shit on others. This is not the first time in which I said that Steemit is pretty Centralized.
Flags/Downvotes you be something which is approved by other users before they have any effect on Posts. Otherwise this is something that will keep happening over and over again. I got downvote just because they person can do so?, Because according to him/her my posts was Trash?
Now I will be using Voting Bots on this posts as well and see if the @GrumpyCat idiot downvote it as well. Steemit really need to change things around. I've invested over $100,000USD in Steem to use as Steem Power. I don't have time to be dealing with stupid idiots that want to play Internet/Steemit police. If steemit is a "Decentralized" platform we should be able to posts any type of content, as long as it doesnt break any laws, without having to worry about ignorant assholes like @GrumpyCat
Fortunately for you this post isn't quality content enough to be worthy of a Grumpy flag.
https://steemit.com/abuse/@grumpycat/non-gumpycompliant-vote-sellers-are-now-to-be-used-exclusively-to-profit-from-the-reward-pool
If the issue is upvotes happening on days 4, 5, 6 and 7, then perhaps the root cause is the time permitted by the platform itself for upvotes to occur after posts are published. Have you addressed this with Steemit Inc or the Witnesses, Grumpy Cat?
The Steem White Paper is clear about the founder's thoughts on abuse: "Eliminating 'abuse' is not possible and shouldn't be the goal...All that is necessary is to ensure that abuse isn't so rampant that it undermines the incentive to do real work in support of the community and its currency."
While your premise of being against reward pool abuse is understandable, your self-policing initiative is imposing a rule on the platform that doesn't exist across the board in its current form. Wouldn't it be more constructive to achieve an equitable rule set that all users abide by via encouraging a change to the way Steemit's leaders currently view this matter and having it enforced via mechanisms built into the platform itself?
He is not for any constructive stuff.
Just an dumbass imposing his dumbassness on others.
What you see is pretty much just vigilantism. Terrible practice regardless of whether or not you support the cause.
It hurts the platform more than it helps it, that's for sure. In fact I would argue that it is not even helping it at this point. There is no way one user, regardless of how much SP they have, can impart widespread changes and arbitrary change the rules of engagement if the rules themselves as built into the platform are not changed.
These concerns need to be raised with Steemit Inc, not voting services or those that use them - they are simply playing by the rules already established here, even if it's in bad taste to many that care about the long term viability of the blockchain.
I pretty made almost an identical comment to yours elsewhere in this post.
here
Just saw your comment and responded to jesta's post under it.
@grumpycat I dont get it. I agree with your rules. But shouldnt you be a kind of a rolemodel. You are upvoting simple comments with big upvotes and taking much of the reward pool.That affect the reward pool. Even with one comment you got you over 185 dollar. I wrote much posts with much effort but I think all together are less worth than your comment I hope you will act like you teach people.
I have some ideas how you could help the steemit community. Check out post that dont earn much and support underrated posts. Steem rises and falls with the users.
He is a hypocrite. He is flagging people for things that he also does. Don't trust him.
yesss exactly
@kult300 People who want it all for them self, will never be good for community
I agree wholeheartedly. Well put.
I actually support this...
I agree with you @kult300, he upvoted himself worth 185 dollar for just a comment. Where is the quality content there? With no effort at all. Whereas I myself almost spend 5 hours a day to make a content and only get few dollars from it. What if he just support minnows like us, because if we are encouraged by his votes, we bring more people into the platform...
You are totally right.
There you got, a smart person that gets it. @GrumpyCat playing police with his big SP downvoting "quality content", and yes he votes every single stupid comment that he made with huge votes lol oh boy...
Thank you, I hope we get an answer. Atleast he can be honest or explain why he is misunderstood.
i do not trust the people who upvoted this comment, just him i do understand, he must like his own post, I would think no one else would vote? All bots? or fake?
bombed
Get out errand boy, we dont like sheep mind people around here :)
make me
From a minnows POV Grumpycat could kill an account. Does anyone even know what the "quality" guidelines are for this type of attack. But its a genius idea to use for profit. I mean look the above comment gets nearly $200 in Steem and part of the curation reward for this post (so they still win). Not to mention they will continue their crusade for what they believe in.
The only time you have to worry about it is if you use bid bots to upvote something when it's more than 3.5 days old. The bid bots seem to be changing their rules so that you can't do it anyways.
I'd hate to own that account in a few months, when everyone's reputation increases and it starts getting targeted.
This comment probably won't stay for long.
But it speaks the truth.
O love upvoting people that speak truth, thank you!
Cat Fight!
Did you like this Top Notch Posts?, glad you did kid, glad you did.
You never answered me.
Do you delegate me power?
We only delegate Steem power to active users of Steemit that are part of our community and using our Trinity bot. Trinity is a custom made bot that give you hundred of Votes and in return use your account to vote others.
I ask you for a favor.
I have no money to buy steem power.
So I beg you to give it to me a little, that I would quickly develop my account, it costs nothing to you, later you will take it back at any time!
I will be happy to participate in your projects!
@stewardessa don't mean to interrupt this convo., but I noticed you said that delegating SP costs us (SP delegators) nothing.
That's simply not true. When we delegate SP, we lose that power to earn more SP via curation rewards. That's why all the Steem delegation services charge to loan it out.
Thank you, I understand that.
I ask the person @dineroconopcion ( who spends 500 SBD for the sake of the principle.
Do you think he will be sorry to give 10-100 SP for one month and then take it back?
I think not, he just does not understand me.
For example, could you delegate me any kind of power?
You will not lose anything from it, but you will help me.
I'm wondering why people like you are not ready to do it once for a new user.
So many people do not see that!
Hey i am the active User of steemit since november can you delegate power to me?? and how to use trinity bot??
What's a voting bot?
Warning: truth bombs have been dropped
Hola soy nueva en steemit y de verdad quiero hacer un blog de ayuda para muchos y de diversion. ayudame con seguidores y votos por favor..... PD: me encanta tu contenido

When you repeat the same comment on multiple post you sound like a bot! If it walks like a bot, squawks like a bot, it may be flagged for being a bot!
Your Reputation Could be a Tasty Snack with the Wrong Comment!
What a fantastic way to look at things..........very good . upvoted.
Stop spamming posts with the same comment jamesnumber1!
I guess that makes everything relative.
came out of nowhere LMAO
That's deep brah
False.
^This guy gets it.
Not the respectable ones at least.
Agreed. False. Some people are not content creators, they are "money miners."
"Money Miners: Proudly Destroying Social Content Sites since 1999!"
Mining money is always good. Steemit is here to earn money, if you dont like Money miners go user Facebook or Twitter.
buena esa manito ejjejej que se ballan a faceboock jj
I aggre with you👍
Could you please show me 10 Top authors that dont use voting bots?, I will be waiting for those so that I can prove you wrong. Thanks!
acidyo, donkeypong, davidpakman, exyle, nanzo-scoop, heiditravels, sauravrungta, lemouth, suesa, myself.
-You: Legit posts, not using bid bots or Whale friends.
acidyo Is getting downvotes by accounts like blocktrades and other whales. Why would they paid Bid Bots if they are this connected?
donkeypong: Account is estimated at 1.8M + getting Whales votes, again why would this account used bots?
davidpakman: use bid bots
exile Another Whale with his Whale friends and paying blocktrades
Wont keep going as the rest are probably more whales with their whales connections. Thank you for trying!
Of course getting whale votes means a lot more than getting upvotes from people without a stake. It is vested votes that count.
But anyone can get votes from whales by making content that is seen as valuable to the STEEM Blockchain, or that brings engagement to STEEM.
I didn't know that Davidpakman used bid bots, so you got that right. But it doesn't change the fact that you're wrong to say that all top bloggers use them.
Ok, not all, but most do. All of them are either a whale, have whale friends, or used bid bots. There will never be a post with over $500 without one of those things.
you acquire a "whale friend" by consistently posting quality content that a STEEM stakeholder sees as valuable to the platform. Many quality content creators on my list had no friends when they started out, then someone viewed their content and wanted to support them. As a result, they either get votes from them periodically or set automatically.
It doesn't require anything other than community engagement and persistence.
Anyways, as STEEM grows and more quality content creators join, the vested votes will have to be distributed more.
They also spend their SBD to buy more SP. More steem power means a bigger vote to hand out. You should look at their outgoing votes more than their incoming votes. You are looking at what they are MAKING and not what they are GIVING. Giving is the part of a social network that gives a user value, not how much they spend to take away from others.
Your 100 SBD bot bids take from every other user sending a little bid to try and get some views. Your reason for such large views is you believe that, that is a way to become a top steemian. You're not becoming a top steemian, you are just going to join the list of users who will never make it unless they keep spending money on a system that is set up to make FREE money for content.
I give back to the community. Thanks to our Youtube videos we have bring thousand of people from the Spanish market into Steemit + wi delegated power to people. So your comment doesnt make anything to me.
We already have a Large Spanish market so your comments mean nothing to me either. And who calls 12,000 Youtube follows and such low likes a good YouTube channel for steemit? A buyer of YouTube followers............
Your comment has nothing to do with the current topic.
Topic is mute, @grumpycat is doing steemit a service.
nice detective work!
Boy, you've been grumped.
And don't call him stupid or he will come at night and nibble on your toes
Lol he wont downvote this Posts because doing so will prove my points. See his comments at the top, which of course he upvotes.
He exaggerated
No I did not. Top authors all use some time of advantages they are either a Whale with thousands in Steem Power, have Whales Friends that upvote every stupid posts they make. The rest are people like me investing hundreds in Bid Botes. If that is not the case prove me wrong. Show me top authors that dont get Votes from Whale accounts. Show me 5 posts that have earned $500+ without been a Whale and without whales upvotes.
I felt this same way. They had preach on your making good posts yet a click on their wallet reveals tens of bids made to bots that give them an upvote value of the kind they'd tell you hardwork will get you.
You're pissed and that's ok. Scrolled through yours though and noticed you went from making $20 per post to $600, $900 e.t.c. pretty fast. Maybe that triggered our adorable grumpy cat. Maybe not.
Nevertheless, this is one of the ugly perks of a decentralized platform.
show me a top steem user (you are not included in my definition of top) that doesnt use bots and i’ll agree.
I already gave 10.
It doesn't make sense to compare someone who makes 600 on a post using no bots, with someone who makes 1000 with bots but had to pay hundreds of dollars worth of SBDs to obtain them, without taking that into account.
Most of the top authors do not depend on buying votes.
I'm getting there without using bots.
GrumpyCat rulz. He's like Zorro. He GrumpyMustacho
I think this cat is a steemit destroyer, but no one can stop it.
That is the biggest line of bullshit I've ever heard. If you don't know what the difference between paid programming and actual trending content is, read this.
Buying the top spot and calling yourself a "Top Steemit Author" is much like buying a bowling trophy that says, "World's Greatest Bowler," and then actually saying you're the world's greatest bowler, even though you've never bowled a game in your life.
Congratulations @dineroconopcion!
Tell the people how much you spent to come here and make an ass out of yourself today! Speech! Speech! Speech! :)
So revenge is coming. You may take revenge for other victims too, Thank you!
Ya annoying to see all this dumb shit get upvoted to most popular on steemit. If you have a sec please check out my recent time lapse film- https://steemit.com/video/@cinemaninja/bmvu7-grand-canyon-a-4k-time-lapse-film-ninja-cut - lets get some art on the top!
It is, but I suppose that's the nature of the beast. Look how much action this post is getting. Controversy sells! No matter what platform you use. Marketing wise, good call to make this a post. I'm a new user, and have been posting about my healing journey with psychedelics as a combat veteran, like Once a Marine, Now a Psychedelic Explorer. I cite my refrences, my posts are clean(language and aesthetics), all credit given where due. But I realize it takes time and psychedelics is a rough subject to warm people up to. @cinemaninja, I'll be heading over to your spot and following!

@qami
Sorry man, but this is not sensible or friendly towards other users of the bid-bots:
You've ruined the ROI for 100's of bid-bot users.
+1 man, This is really not how those bid-bots should be used. 100 USD bids are just plain reward pool rape.
Bid bots are not reward pools. They are a services, those willing to bid more get more according to their bid, plain and simple. That is why bots have a Min and Max.
You are really forgetting one major thing about this place! This is a Social network. What you are doing there is not very social. But hé, I won't flag or downvote you for it.
Just don't forget this is a social network, you can always write more posts if you want to get more rewards!
Your comment doesnt make any sense. So if I reply to comments in my posts I'm not being social?, I'm free to respond and speak my opinion as loud as I want, if you dont like people replying to your comments then delete you comments and dont comments in other's posts.
I am not talking about your comments. I am talking about sending 100 SBD at once to bid-bots. That's not social, other people don't have the room to bid anymore, or see their bid vaporise. And to your first remark. You really don't get the way Steem works. If you get 300 and 400 USD upvotes, someone is getting less because of you. That's how the reward pool works. And that's why I am saying you are not being very social! Ok? Get it?
Bid bots give you a Vote according to your Bid. If you send 1SBD they will give you a Vote worth 3SBD, if you send 10SBD then it will be worth 30+
This is a number/math game. You send a bit, you will get a bit, you send a lot, then you get a lot. Me sending 100 wont make a 10sbd user get less. You guys should really read the posts those bid bots accounts make. Bid bots doesnt work like you think they do. If you send 10 SBD it wont ever give you more than 30 in voting power, that is not how it works.
Bid bots DO pay out of the reward pool.
yeah, he'll get there one day :)
What's the point. He clearly doesn't understand the total vote value and doesn't care about fucking everyone else over. The rich will be richer, to beg for them to change is stupid.
If a single vote value is $100, and you bid $100, then most of the vote goes to you. The math it does is summing all the bids sent in and calculate percentage of each bid over the sum. You're right when you said high bid like that will kill smaller bids as he can afford to eat the loss, but a guy who saved up 1SBD or less will struggle to earn 1SBD or less again. Bid bots do not guarantee profitable upvote because it is a bidding process, checking tracker would show so many negative ROI. The bulk of those upvote belongs to him because he has the biggest percentage whatever the ROI is.
The biggest upvote bots have $1k-2k upvote values, sending in $100 SBD at $6-$7 per SBD = spending $600-$700 per upvote bot per post. So with the screenshot above, he effectively spent about $5000 just for upvote alone.
I wouldn't bother tell him to change, let them fight. We lay back, have a drink, make some wagers, eh?
These bots votes are worth way more than $100
And you get the idea. Out of 100 I will probably get a vote worth 200-300 and rest is split on smaller bidders as Im not the only one bidding 100. So yeah, you are wrong, but you are right in something: I just couldn't care any less.
Lmao. Ok, bud. Keep doing what you're doing. So now you're proving me wrong by saying bots are not $100 value? Lolololol. It's an example, I use $100 as an easy number to understand. You want real actual number? Here it is:
@buildawhale: vote value is $715.51. The current SBD price at this moment is $5.811/SBD. If you sent in 100 SBD, that's $581.1. Given that it is UNLIKELY anyone else can spend that much on a bid, you own the most of the vote. If the combined value of all other bidders is less than $581.1, you own more than 50% of the vote. Clear enough?
Assuming you own exactly 50% of the vote, that means you spend $581.1 to get a vote of $357.755 which is a LOSS. Everybody else in the same bid period also get the same percentage loss.
So yea, I'm right on both and I'm even more right on something.
Ps: There's a difference between vote value and SBD. Vote value is in USD.
Of course I will keep doing it. Maybe one day I will be the only one using Bid bots getting the 100% of votes, a man can dream. Thank you for explaining in detail. I understand your point, and others crying, now that you did. I keep forgetin that 1 SBD is NOT $1USD hehe That is what happen when you have so much that you just stop caring :) I will be more consider from now on and wont be sending 100SBD. What is the max that I can send without making others feels like their 1-2SBD is garbage?, thanks.
Nah, keep sending in 100 SBD bid, hell, just bid the entire amount or more. I'm so glad you understand the process now so you get better return for your money. Some dinero con opciones you are, how can you be a true whale when the only thing you got is a big wallet and nothing else.
Just remember 1 SBD is not 1 USD, OK? If you need a reminder, just send me $100 SBD and I'll explain again.
Good luck fighting grumpy. I'm rooting for you, mate. Know that.
10 SDB to 20 SBD is more than enough to get on trending
How it that actually work like that hacking steemit to earn more money i Don't know is just me talking blabla but do you know more bots that can upvote vote steem up your acount
Hehe, Indeed! 🍻😎
I've definitely had a situation where I scrape together 1 or 2 SBD then have someone blow the bot's max out of the water with 10 seconds left on the timer. I don't really understand the behavior. I guess it's basically free money, but it sucks for those of us who are trying to use them to progress on the platform instead of ensure the #1 spot on the trending page.
Indeed. Clearly mr capitalist over here doesn't really care or doesn't actually understand that these over-sized bids kill any chance of promotion for the smaller guys.
Ah well, I've made my point.
I dont have time to be checking timers. The rich get richers guys, you need to keep that in your mind and never forget it. If sending 100 weren't allow by the bots they could have banned people for sending so much. As the name suggest BID means this is a competition and Im here to win, not to play nice. Understand @abh12345?, good kid, good. I'm a capitalist with big pockets to invest in Steemit for my community and I to earn money. I don't care about people that side with Whales that only think about themselves.
Pretty sure that I'm the only person in here delegating to other people 100% free. If you know about any other person doing that let me know :) Ps: You wont find anyone else doing that Hehe
Just wanted to stop by and say that: @fulltimegeek delegates 350,000 Steem Power, for free, so you're definitely not the only one delegating for free. But I hear you. Many others are delegating for a fee.
Good to see others delegating as well! Thanks for sharing it with me.
You mean you can give me some power for free?
I would never have believed it, maybe it's true, but I'm a novice but have not seen this before.
Can you really do this?
Do not get me wrong, I'm not begging, I just want to know whether you did it that way or not?
Yes we delegated Steem power to people that are part of our community. You can delegate Steem Power which is basically lending the power to others until you take it back.
Well, with that attitude, you will get downvote again again and again man! But hé, I really don't care. Just do as you wish, but it really isn't the smartest move!
I am doing it, 100% for free.
I know at least 5 people doing this, including myself.
I have a lot of reading to do to understand how all these works
The whole point of cryptocurrencies (originally) was that they were meant to be decentralized and that there was a "level playing field" for anyone to participate in the currency marketplace and/or mine the currency. Overwhelmingly what is happening is not decentralization. Rather a small group of people is controlling vastly more crypto than the rest, most of the mining power is in the hands of the rich, and the average small user has very little influence.
The fact that content visibility on a so-called decentralized platform can simply be bought is a massive red flag to the long-term health of the SteemIt platform.
The rich will get richer, there's no escaping that. For 99% of us, it's just about making steady progress here, which may involve a small promotion bid when you feel it's a good time to do so.
Increasingly though, my 'good' bids are turning out to be the opposite as reckless 'overbidding' is becoming more common by the few who can afford it.
It's not just the few that are overbidding. It is also the swarm of shit posters that want quick cash grab. If you use smaller voting bots, you'll see many small bids that would bid last minute as well. I don't mind this though because if they don't learn how to use it properly, then they deserve to lose money.
So for big bots, you get whales bullying smaller bids out; for small bots, a horde of shit posters competing with you
dammit. I guess I'll just have to try and create some top quality content :D
100% agree, and it's so demotivating and unfair for the people putting a lot of time into creating content but not getting any visibility because they play it fair ... :(
Dont be so ignorant man, do you even know how Bid bots work?, Do you really think that Im the only person that can send 100+ SBD to bots?, this doesnt affect others. That is why each bot has a different Min and Max. You should really consider looking into things before making yourself look like an ignorant person.
Clearly it is you who has no idea. Of course it affects others.
Again, you have ruined the ROI and promotion level for everyone else in those bidding rounds by sending stupid sized bids to promote your content.
I wouldn't be surprised if you are banned from some of these bots.
Why would he be banned? Looks like the bot owners make more money off of him than from other people and this is about money. Now I don't agree with voting bots, I don't use them (OK I use minnowsupport but that is free) and I think people should really vote what they like and not delegate their SP but that is just an opinion I have. One other thing if you bid with 100 SBD do these bots return more than that with one vote?
Yes, Bid bots give you a return of what ever you send. Each have a Min and max, but some ignorants assholes like @abh12345 dont know this, so they believe I'm abusing the bots. If I were I could be banned by now. But hey! stupid people will always be stupid :)
Some pretty ignorant statements there.
I talk to a bid bot owner regularly, and he has banned users for persistent over-sized bids.
Stupid size bids? Not my fault that I've enough money to bid big. There are many accounts bidding 100+ are they ruining the ROI as well? If anything people like us, big Bidders, help the bots grow as they use the funds to re invest into Steem Power. If everyone were to send the amounts you send:
These bots wouldnt exist hehe. Who will works for a few SBD here and there?, Look at this account and then comeback and talk to me: https://steemit.com/@purepinay/transfers
I use Steemit to grow my income, not to get cents.
In case you hadn't noticed, the rounds are generally filled by 100's of smaller bids. What you are doing is completely selfish and at the detriment of everyone else using these promotion services.
I understand you are here to grow your investment, but at the expense of 100's of other users will not earn you any credibility at all.
And promoting a 'rant' against a flagger, well, not sure how that's going to work out for you.
When you have money to throw around best thing to do is throw it :P Have a good day, son!
This is like a dream come true for low stake quality content creators which don't use bots.
You will never get on trending or many votes without bots. So good luck with your quality content that not many will see if you keep that mentality.
I simply have to agree with you @dineroconopcion on this statement because I’ve seen some really good content that got mere votes simply ‘cause they don’t use bots. This is like the case of capitalism and socialism. All’s fair and square. Even though I don’t get much on my average post but I’m positive. Ain’t gonna blame you just ‘cause you have the SBD power ... spread love <3
Thank you for leaving your honest opinion on the matter!
Not with that attitude, you won't.
Even if I don't, that's ok. At least, i'll be able to rest easy knowing that I'm not an overrated hack either.
I'm the only Steemit user delegating steem power to others. I've give many small users 200 Steem power, you can see that in my wallet. I dont use Bid bots to get trending, I couldnt care less about that. I use them to make a profit, like everyone else does. If you are capable of making the front end good for you. Sorry if I offended you wasnt my intention. Just a bit mad about all of thse and seeing many people siding with @GrumpyCat when they do know that down voting people just because is not fair.
I have never used the Down vote/flag button. Who am I to take earnings away from someone that probably need it?, have a great day.
@dineroconopcion,
Nah, you're good. No offense taken.
I don't hate the player. I hate the game and I guess, by proxy, not particularly fond of the actions of those that helped put it in place.
That's why we have so many useless reward schemes at the bottom because they are following the examples set by those at the top. First we had vote selling. Now we have vote buying. Corruption abounds.
Witnesses included.
By the way, I plan on creating a front end one of these days that purposely ignores all bot voted content. I think that has come potential because I know for a fact I'm not the only one with grievances about bid bots.
Damn yes, this is ridiculous indeed
I don't know anything about you at all dineroconopcion, and i've only just seen you with this post. I'm impressed with how much effort you've made to interact with the comments though. That's extremely unusual from my experience, and though i've had moments when i thought that things seemed a bit unfair, it seems important to remember that steem without any buyers of steem, wouldn't be paying anyone anything. People who are too unhappy? New things will come out. Perhaps some will be completely fair. But that's obviously not an easy thing to do.
Im personally here to publish a collection of "ideas", that would under non open sourcery rules, by taken to the patent office.
I'm trying to develop connections with intelligent people in a position of having power, and as soon as possible, to start engaging with them in live conversations, trying to figure exactly what it is i can do to make steem and steemit better and stronger.
If they evolve well enough, steem and steemit could both make a stand and continue indefinitely in our world.
If they do no, well, they'll go practically extinct.
Would love to talk sometime, now or when i'm known quantity.
Will record a super short video to introduce myself, and then get back to my work.
@opensourcery.
Yeah man, this kind of **** happends. Im spanish too, and i know your channel from time ago. I used to saw some videos and well, i think you and your content looks legit, and im sure you are helping some people..
So yeah, just avoid this flag battles, keep on your things, and still making money in the way you do. That's all mate.
Have a great day, 1300 votes, means more than a cat flag, right? ;)
Trust me, I'm not here to flag people. I will never flag someone down, even if they flag me. Who am I to take earnings away from people?, Only toxic people do shit like that. Thanks for your kind words!
Looks like a hypocrite, he publish real trash and vote himself with whale bots.
There really was no good reason for Grumpycat to down vote, The only reason would be much jealousy of your great success on steemit. I recommend everybody mutt @GrumpyCat
Thank you very much for you honest opinion on the matters! And for not being afraid to call things for what they are.
nice one! keep it up!
@grumpycat, this is like the blockchain version of reality tv or something, haha.
I for one am sick of the bid bots.
Except for Gentlebot (he's cool)
I make fun of the bot situation in my native tongue here. (Memes)

I am increasingly seeing people becoming victims of irrational flags! I don't think it is healthy to be policed like this. If the system doesn't want users to use bots, they should address it in a better way instead of flagging people left right and center.
I just started following you now after reading this post, so you have the support of the people :D
This story in the Steemit white paper sums the situation up pretty nicely
Did the white paper have a proposed solution to this? Or was it just a warning...
Believe it or not, this was actually their solution to prevent voting abuse...
Wow you are 100% correct! Just like that! Pretty sad to be honest.
People should be allowed to use a upvote-service for what-ever they wish. If we, as a community, don't like the idea of upvote bots. Then the bots itself should be outlawed. Punishing people who make use of a legitimate service is a big no go for this platform.
Thank you! This is what I believe. How are we supposed to know that Whales have a Not Bid Bots policy in place?, who gave this people the role of Steemit Admins?, at the end of the day Bid Bots are now agaisnt Steemit Rules. This is just a few Whale accounts acting like they own the place.
@dineroconopcion the internet and steem are free for everyone to express themselves anyway they wish so I say keep doing you and I wish you much success.
There are always people hate everyone, everything.
Don't let it get you down, buddy.
Es que no es que le deprima, esa cuenta al darle un voto negativo, hace que pierda valor subpost, y a la vez dinero..
Yeah, I know.
That's too bad.
It's just a little, but I upvote him all the time and like his post.
Flagging should be removed, some people are ruining Steemit with their excessive flagging..
yes friend said right. I liked the words of myself. I agree with you. keep up bro.
I wonder if he downvoted this post?
I upvoted you because I question who is grumpy cat account to decide what is a shitbog? If they downvote steemit abusers I am cool with it. But deciding what is or is not worthy of buying an upvote is lame and overstepping. And why not go after accounts that bought delegation to upvote every comment they make instead of being the judge/jury and payout executioner of quality on a blog. That is very subjective.
I hope I don't get downvoted. I rarely speak up here. I just see such flagrant abuse here on Steemit from all over I question voting people down because you don't like the quality.
Steemit needs a professional team paid by steemit to police steemit in my opinion.
Not sure how that would work out but.
Check out the Steem Flag Rewards. Community driven police force. You get rewarded for good flags and can reward others who use good flags. Win win
We need impartial policing and not self appointed steemians policing us. I have seen bloggers accounts being destroyed in second by these corrupt steemians which is just abuse of power and nothing else. This is supposed to be an uncensored community but is definitely not the case. A lot of retaliation and bullying takes place here. Dineroconopcion is very brave to stick their neck out here. Good luck.
Evil prevails when good men do nothing.
I'm working on a system of impartiality via jurors but not really sure it will be needed. Don't want to give the community the impression that our flaggers are merely hired guns. We are not. We believe in using the flagging mechanism for the greater good and many of us would sacrifice our VP before this was even a thing.
The innovative thing about it is that the flag rewards are driven via community upvotes so, if it's an illegimate flag, it likely will not garner support.
I've also added guidelines such as commenting to inform the other party of why they were flagged and absolutely no hate votes.
I support any idea that will make steemit a better and fairer place. I wish you lots of luck with your project @anthonyadavisii.
Hola @dineroconopcion creo que algunos Steemians han intentado explicarte algo, pero como han sido no muy amigables no les has escuchado.
Para promover este post gastes esto:
Son 600 Steem Backed Dollars, el valor de ellos en dolares americanos es de:
Si multiplicamos 600 veces 6.77 USD, gastastes $4062 Dolares Americanos promoviendo este post.
En este momento el post dice $1097.54 SBD, despues de la conversion, el split y el pago a los curadores, te queda:
Si restamos $2794.72 Dolares americanos de los $4062 que gastastes, tuvistes una perdida en este post de: $1267.28 Dolares americanos.
En otras palabras, no tuvistes lucro, tuvistes una perdida muy alta.
thats sad my friend,anyways keep doing good work you will paid off
I only know that @grumpycat is only flag to those upvote bots/post, those are 3.5 days old and using bid bot for upvote.
That's good that after 3.5 days no bid bot can upvote any post. That's a nice things, We should appreciate the @grumpycat strategy. I think you can also (@dineroconopcion). If any other matter than it is wrong.
I use Bid bots the same day that I make the Posts.
That is the case, then the matter is other than my knowledge.
Thanks for clearing.
steemit has it's flaws...but nonetheless it's a revolutionary social media
Interesting, I am new and I have only gotten one down vote, the guy didn't say why. That was disappointing, with great power comes great responsibility. Posts like this are a good way to keep people honest, steemit is good because at least you know where the down votes come from, elsewhere they are anonymous.
So your complaining his BOT countered your BOT?
I came to Steemit to expand my knowledge about Cryptocurrencies. Your posts are just sharing info created by others. I know where Coindesk is. You don't have to blast it on these walls. I was hoping to find original content and comments here on Steemit but it seems very much ad oriented. Your posts are loaded with MEMES (the most unoriginal of all internet content) and content that takes up allot of real estate here with nothing new to me. I could find it elsewhere, actually you find it elsewhere, nothing original. I come here seeking information and instead find the cousins of Spam anytime a BOT is involved , there you will find Spam.
Thanks for letting me know that is the vehicle used by the top authors here. This is only my second post here and sadly its' about this.
I would also like to add that I don't believe for one minute you invested $100,000 USD in Steem. People who invest in things rarely if ever discuss how much money they've invested.
This apparently is what's trending on Steemit BOT created content. Bummer
Keep up the great work!
@dineroconopcion is that possible to be downvoted?
Im just new here., thanks.
Yes, accounts like @GrumpyCat love to abused small users by down voting.
There is no abuse @grumpycat is using its delegated power as it wishes just like you pay for bidbots welcome to a decentralized platform buddy.
They pay for Bid bots as well. Decentralization means that nobody owns it. Nor can make up stupid rules/law on the platform. But I guess that you didnt know that. Good day!
No I do get what you are talking about, that is why I said decentralized platform anything is in the open he can do what he wants and you can do what you want, no one can be controlled.
Well you are right, but people with more Steem Power shouldnt be able to dominate people with less. That centralized everything. But I do get and agreed with your point.
Yea, Money and power will always cloud people's minds.
It is the way of the world, we can only try to not jump on peoples bad sides and just mind our own ways.
I hope some day steemit will be able to really self govern itself.

Please resteem the Grumpy Report
You violated unwritten rules enforced by the unknown.
Its power!
I dont know what to say about this..
I believe there should be some respect on a professional level here.
Nobody can just do whatever they want without a clear reason.
All the best for you guys
This might have not been the best way for a throwback as to a retaliation none the less. Just thinking out loud.
Nice post @dineroconopcion
their needs to be a way to control the flags , their has been a lot of revenge flags of late, this is not good for the platform
@joendegz yeah like what if someone decides to simply flag out of pure jealousy .... sad isn’t it ? :(
veryy nicee !.!
I don't know anything about you at all dineroconopcion, and i've just barely observed you with this post. I'm awed with how much exertion you've made to communicate with the remarks however. That is amazingly abnormal from my experience, and however i've had minutes when I imagined that things appeared somewhat uncalled for, it appears to be essential to recollect that steem with no purchasers of steem, wouldn't pay anybody anything. Individuals who are excessively miserable? New things will turn out. Maybe some will be totally reasonable. Yet, that is clearly not a simple activity.
Im by and by here to distribute an accumulation of "thoughts", that would under non open sourcery rules, by taken to the patent office.
I'm endeavoring to create associations with savvy individuals in a place of having power, and at the earliest opportunity, to begin connecting with them in live discussions, attempting to figure precisely what it is I can do to improve steem and steemit and more grounded.
In the event that they develop all around ok, steem and steemit could both hold fast and proceed uncertainly in our reality.
In the event that they do no, well, they'll go essentially wiped out.
Would love to talk at some point, now or when i'm known amount.
Hmmmm so this is what Steemit is turning into? For someone who just posted today for the first time, this doesn’t sound particularly encouraging...
is it possible
Hello dear this post perfect 👍@dineroconopcion
