So I Wrote a Book Called The Virus Of Life and some other plans for 2020

meesterboom (80) 5 years ago

This is a good post and good for you on the book. I am only downvoting this because of the volume of paid for votes and the fact that you were previously advised of this on your last post. As it was stated there, things have changed on Steemit in order to enable better content discovery and curation.

Hi @meesterboom !
Can you give me a link to a post ...to see these rules?
At least to be informed...I there are many articles or posts it is ok just please put them in a comment here and I will read them.
I returned ...from the sea and I lost touch with many of steemit news and updates it will be a great help to see what happened here.
Thank you in advance!

There's this from @steemitblog. The idea is to get rewards to posts the community likes rather than where people buy votes. A lot of vote sellers have switched to manual curation and they can still earn as they get more curation rewards. If you just want to promote your post then decline rewards and it works like other forms of promotion such as buying Google ads. It is not a rule as such, just the way a lot of the community wants it to go. Of course some will continue to milk Steem for all they can get, but we have our free downvotes to use on them now.

I only downvote to remove unearned rewards or in rare cases where someone gets abusive.

Thank you @steevc for the infomation !
I read some of the related posts....many people discuss about it ...
You have a good idea with ...using bots and denying the payment...but i am afraid now that I will attract "unwanted attention" now with the -free down vote -system .
With every post I try my best to bring value, knowledge and even some fun if possible.
...By the way ...I canot see the downvote what is up with that?
Of course I can see that the rewards drooped by 50 %...
I am I missing something?...
Anyway I will try to read more maybe I will find the answer...
PS: I saw that you play the guitar...I own too a guitar but I have no clue how to play it yet ...maybe one day...
Edit: O no....I just realised... my previous post was worth 90$ then it dropped to 60$...so...That means it was down voted too...?
That is really unfortunate...
...Ok so I found a way to see....OMG....SO many down votes ..so many..

Your post would have stood out on trending and that will make you a target for downvotes if you bought votes. If you look on Steempeak those downvotes will be very clear.

The fact is that even getting on trending is not going to make you that visible due to the low number of active Steem users (for now). Most people who have been here a while will not even look there. I don't know how many of your thousands of followers are active, but you could be doing the right thing by interacting with commenters. Engagement is the key.

Try posting without buying votes and see how it goes. I would hope people would not continue to downvote you, but it is an individual choice. You may make less, but making anything is good.

Have fun.

Hello!

Sorry for the late reply. I don't think I can add to what @steevc has mentioned.

I completely understand given your absence prior to this. Your post is great and it is solely because of the vote buying which is now somewhat frowned upon almost that it was downvoted. I says with steevec in that you should go for it without vote buying and I am sure you will do well

cynetyc (70) 5 years ago

Thanks @meesterboom for your reply !
No problem I will just not use any bid vote in the future...
I read many articles today and yeah it is -frowned- upon , I went to the @steemflagrewards, then to steemit blog and finally I went to steemit youtube channel where I saw that even the engineers were not agreeing with the bid bots.Also I went back to double check my post and saw the comment @acidyo, I dunno how I forgot about that....
Overall I think I have a clear picture now thank you for advice.

This is a great work. I am always fascinated by the occult practices and have seen many strange events in front of me. What types of black magic we will find in your book? In India, occult practice is very dangerous and life threatening.

cynetyc (70) 5 years ago (edited)

Exact it is dangerous and the kids from this book tried to obtain knowledge and power...but something went terrible wrong and things got dark very fast.
Now ... I am from Romania and my country still holds a strong position in the belief and practice of witchcraft...the belief is so strong that some events from the past actually inspired a documentary to be done...and then more and more....
Historically speaking it is rooted in the gypsy clans of Romania...but the practice, superstitions and curses were in the Romanian tradition way before gypsy arrived.
Maybe I will write little bit about this subject in a future post.

rocksg (70) 5 years ago

That's really a dark side of the occult. In India , we have special temples and living body's sacrifices on the name of black magic and many extinct species of birds are being killed in it. Indian government has put the ban of their killing and doing so can put the people behind the bars. Even at some places and tribes, new born babies are killed and their blood is used in it. What are your thoughts about it? I think you should really spread the awareness about it through your book.

cynetyc (70) 5 years ago

I have been in India few times ...unfortunately only with work ...and I did not have time to visit a temple , but yes it is a losing battle with the animals and birds.
Places, animals , insects are threatened by us and our constant need to build and expand our industry and for that specific place they are using rare animals for their rituals.
I hope that your government will find a good solution.

How about @cynetyc, those are topics of high interest both for those of us who like them and their critics and even more so when it is known that the author is a participant in one of those events no matter if they are simple or significant. I'll go through the links you left us.

Que tal @cynetyc, esos son temas de alto interés tanto para los que nos gusta como también para sus críticos y más aún cuando se sabe que el autor es participe de alguno de esos eventos no importando si estos son simples o significativos. Pasare por los enlaces que nos dejaste.
