Sorry, sitting here staring blankly at my screen instead of writing a reply to your post after receiving another round of flags out of the blue. I hope it doesn't come here.
Look forward to your next post.

They say you only get as much as you can take (always amuses me). Even funnier: only as much as you deserve! Now, have you been a very naughty boy, again?
Perhaps, we should allow for the holidays: those who couldn't afford a package holiday to get soused and laid and have all that fun, are bored out of their wits! Let's go bother Noncle Onno is the cheapest entertainment they can come up with.
While it all sounds to me as pretty annoying (more I cannot say, for more I do not know, and your gracious intention to keep me protected is gratefully accepted, but since I may take this forum even less seriously than you do, I wouldn't want you to blame yourself if if it gets even more absurd. And when I say "annoying"I do so with much dismay. I do so also trusting you are in no grave distress, but busy figuring out something smart.
So much for a better world on Steemit. Can't they leave a quiet (dank) bit of cellar for the mice alone? Though, to class you as a mousey here, would no doubt be to overlook the wild cat in you. Something must have got somebody's goat... Quite a zoo we have here.
We could also take this flag fest to mean it's party time! Think about it: when do we hang out a flag in our streets, in our harbours, on our boats, on our towers? Hailing King Onno!
May the flaggers soon start to flag.
I did nothing, as far as I can tell this is an association flag that took down my rep to 1. A post of mine got resteemed by someone who currently suffers disfavor, so I took a much bigger hit than he did, ..but I can play that game too. That leaves me the question of going back to war with this individual or ignoring it.
It is more than an annoyance, with money invested it means I can't even break even for inflation, turning this into a loss vs investing in a different coin. The stupid thing is that I came here for an alternative video platform, but the one here is useless to me because what I do requires the possibility to use unlisted video to get the required permission to publish before a video goes live.
For now I do nothing, but you shouldn't be surprised by votes from the silent seedless one.
Fascinating, all very fascinating and I feel very out of the loop. Happy to up the current mood to exasperated vexation if that is better. How does one go to war I wonder? Just being rhetorical here.
But very fascinating. Inflation, investment, and even the procedure in phases (permission-publishing?) is a foreign language to me, but it sounds as if there are considerable pressures involved. Serious business. Money matters usually are.
In my Kindergarten dungarees, I only just discoverd what Partiko is (or not really, but I get the gist) Kept on seeing it all over the place. Wasn't there when I last was here. It all, quite frankly, disgusts me. Try not to have an opinion, and with the occasional sound word from you, I can just about bare it. But I can barely run though a feed anymore. I cut a deal with myself or whatever makes me be out here in the first place, that I check it out out (as if it is my moral duty to the community) and scroll till I find one new name that will do to put on the follow list. Of course, I'm not going to be scrolling for an hour, so there is just the one (very run of the mill environmentalist) so far.
It is so inane. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Of course, neither you or I belong here! Which you already said a year and a half ago. But, especially in your case the question remains, where else, since you are more professionally engaged with your videos - and investment schemes. You have a mediating function you take seriously. As do I, but I am not that naive that I pretend I can do anything of any significance here. Not even worth trying. I just pick up a few odd jobs and work on a very direct call basis.
Votes from the silent seedless one still has me racking my brains. Brains which feel a little unseeded in this competition.
On this post, yes scroll up to the bottom of your post and next to where it says "16 votes", there is a little arrow to the right of it. Click on that and read where the votes came from. You'll find the seedless one in 3rd place.
Maybe for straight up blogging, WordPress could be a good place to be. Google's Blogspot was another good one if it still exists, I'm not certain, I haven't logged in for years.
Partiko, Steampeak, and the latest, Palnet are all different front ends running on the Steem blockchain. The only thing they don't give you access to is your Steem wallet, which was recently split off from Steemit's blog site. From what I hear, Palnet is the place to be, but I haven't spent much time there since everything is still mirrored in Steemit.
Steem in and of itself is fantastic as a means of exchange. It's fast and reliable. On the other hand, I remember reading about a year ago that at that time it had an inflation rate of about 8%. That means that if you self voted 10 times a day, you barely broke even. If all your Steem came from rewards, why would you care, but if like some you paid for Steem and powered it up, having your rewards and rep flagged down to zero is a different matter, especially when they come after you and flag every post and comment for weeks on end.
That brings me my current situation. With a rep less than 10, one can't post images, nor will the vote do anything to boost the rep of those you vote for. It basically renders the account useless other than written text, greyed out of course if the rep falls below 0.
The seedless one is an account created to function on someone else's delegated steem, mine, and since it's silent, or doesn't post, can never be flagged to zero. I can now use that account to up vote your posts, and also boost your rep, and I can also do this for my own account, ..until I get flagged again. I can then start all over again like that big rock being pushed up that hill of self loathing you described earlier.
Tonght I tried if this works, and it does, so I'll be up voting all my comments from now on until my rep is back above 10. Like you, I didn't come here to compete or make money, but it seems that from me, they'll accept nothing less than pure greed. So be it, I purchased a small fortune in other coins.
Aha. Get the seedless bit. Knew you had a plan!
Straight up blogging. Oh you know me better than that.
Glad to hear about your small fortune. Clearly a words and numbers man. Lucky you.
What am I saying! It's got nothing to do with luck! You've got more brains than you know what to do with them. Hope you don't spend them all on making money.
My brains meet a real challenge reading your musings. I'm proven not that bright as I often spend 15 minutes reading your post, researching stuff I haven't seen before for an hour, and then read your post again and at times I still don't fully grasp what you were trying to say. Read again, wait, ..what I miss? This is सुख stuff and keeps me coming back for more. Don't underestimate yourself.
Edit: I forgot to add "please" at the end.
Order or request received. (Thank you)
Mission accomplished. Over.
(Clear enough?)
