RE: It’s happening! Lightning Network Wallet app just released on Google Play – God send for the third world!
The clean trending tool still allows usage of bid-bots up to 50% of the total value of your content. It's the spamming and getting trending mostly because of bots that is an issue, and you clearly know about it because you were doing it ;)
All good things must have an end... Be smart and use tools more appropriately and you will do fine... both of you ;)
Your theory is far from perfect.
I absolutely used bots, just like I told you I would.
It's serving the exact purpose I sought, visibility.
I not only provided a full disclaimer but also tagged my post #advertisedcontent
You came at me anyway.
My bot useage has yielded very organic results, as I assumed it would.
I may have got to trending with bots but I'm staying there because the content is legit and appreciated by the community.
Almost at a 50/50 rate.
I really wish you'd focus on shitposts and instead encourage good content creators to utilize these tools to help their visibility.
But...like all of us...you are entitled to do what you want here.
Welcome to the Wild West!
This is really about a monopoly (Steemit whales) kicking out the little guys like any other big corporation, they are protecting their interests. How else do you think this self appointed gestapo account manages to get $200-$700 for his crappy posts? It's a whale club, they vote among themselves and won't let the small fish play. The only thing you can do is power down and let these scammers fall on their own weight. I can't wait to see the prosecutions!
"50% of the total value of your content" how am I supposed to know what that is without running afoul of the self appointed gestapo?
I'm already doing fine, I'm powering down and dumping this whale club for good. Heck, I might even come up with a tool and big ass campaign for people to do the same, just like you did to protect your posts while green with envy...
See, you didn't do this out of your "love for Steemit", you are just protecting your post positions and that of your big whale friends. We are not stupid @heimindanger, you gotta let the little fish play too once in a while.
Are your posts so good quality that they deserve $200 to $700 payouts? Give me a break, you use your whale group for that, something a lot more questionable and damaging to the platform than using bots and that's the real problem with Steemit, it's a whale club.
