RE: Do you think this user's voting pattern is good for Steem?
So on the second post linked above, he has given himself a $5.36 upvote while the Original Post is sitting at $0.38 and he has not voted on it. He admits that he is just upvoting himself using his stake to get an ROI. The statements he make there make it clear he either does not understand, or does not care about the reward pool and the potential harm to the long term value of Steem he is causing.
"It is your Stake, use it as you see fit" is clear here. He sees fit to upvote himself on every comment, @transisto sees fit to flag his comments underwater. I have no problem with the flags whatsoever. Protect the Reward Pool man!
His powering down and leaving is a decision he needs to make of his own accord taking all things into consideration. But weighing his statements, and the implication that he is only upvoting comments on his own posts rather than going out and curating make a clear case for someone who is out for Numero Uno, not the good of the platform, so "don't let the door hit you on the way out chief!"
I read and curate lots. I work my comment section to be entertaining.
You feed your shills pretty good. Upvoted most of @theguruasia's shitposts I see. His 5 min copypasta isn't worth a cent. Flagged the hell out of him.
Hi
@littleboy
Yes, this is really amazing. I'm posting wonderful cultural topics, trading, motivation, and a lot. When I see Upvote I find a cent, I do not know what is happening, but I feel weak. I need you all.
I hope you will help me and my family steemit my only hope is to realize my mother's dream
My greetings to all of you
Hi @greenman I know you do.. And I follow you for some time now.. but I guess the discussion is that a lot of people just send in a comment with a gif in the hope that they get some curation. Sometimes it is also good to curate posts made from your followers. But I guess you will be very busy when you want to do that..
What you are doing right now is called promoting shill culture. This is only going to attract useless people.
Personally I hate self upvote! But it's not banned in the system so far! We have upcoming hardfork, so we could give this as a suggestion, atleast put a limit on Self Upvotes! Otherwise this is the STACK of that investor and we can't ban or force him/her to not to use it!
Anyway this flag war should end now and @greenman, we all need you! You got a huge fan base and though this topic you made more huge fan base as well! Enjoy your trip and be back with STEEM ON!
(Someone please tell me where we could I add suggestions to next hardfork)
Cheers~
I found some other huge problem, the discussion is here and yes we need some suggestion TAG! https://steemit.com/steemit/@wnfdiary/how-to-make-steemit-futureproff
If the system allows its all fair. If you dont want to allow self voting ban it in the next hard fork and see how the steem users react to it.
"If the system allows its all fair"
The system is built to give the users the power to self correct. @transisto is allowed by the system to flag content that does not suit a particular view of what should be allowed on the system. This too is "allowed by the system".
When Transisto flags posts/comments that add no value to the platform my rewards go up. When other users upvote their "Thanks" comments that took no effort my rewards go down.
I know which side of that line I am going to be on.
If users want to upvote themselves, that's fine. I upvote myself one time a day, that's my personal rule. Other people don't feel that limiting themselves is an issue, and that is fine for them. I am a steward of Delegated Steem Power so I prefer not to take too much advantage of that, even though my delegators never told me not to upvote myself.
if those who are upvoting themselves don't want to get flagged there are two things they could do to avoid it. Upvote whatever they are responding to with at least the same VP as they are giving to themselves. And Write legitimate comments! You don't have to adhere to a word count or anything, but put in something more than two words when you are going to give yourself an upvote worth more than most users Top Level Posts are making! It really isn't that difficult to stay off of Transisto's radar.
Everything is fair upvote downvote. Its a free market. :p
Also I am pretty sure @greenman has given more votes to his followers and he writes some useful stuff about the finance world.
I agree with this, if all other platforms can contain entertainment stuffs, why this platform can't? I like gif also. Sometimes it's the best way to express our feeling than 1000 words!
People has different views, that's the human nature! Hope we all should respect what others think!
Cheers~
Totally agree with you ;)
Something good but according to my opinion not everyone is just hanging out for a bonus
Here are the people who follow you for example. Now I like your publications and there are many possibilities
The help of others also for the most beautiful thing psychologically feel comfortable
My last greetings to you from the heart

Mr president the truth is they haven't fan like your blog and they got jealous.
Remember one thing without people power steemit is useless. He pointed you beacause of he want more fan for his blog making famous.
There are lots of peoples blog have gif and if you goo funny tags you can find out more .
Please stay we love you mr president. If you dont upvote ,there will be no problem. We love you. Please come back. If your are stop writing blog then we lost a special person.
We need you sir .please stay
Pls if he continues on that what kind of damage will ir gv to the system
The reward pool is the same amount every day regardless of how voting takes place. So by upvoting his own effortless comments, he is actively REMOVING reward from someone else who worked hard on their post. By rewarding himself he is taking away from others.
This action if allowed to continue promotes such behavior in others. "If this guy can make a bunch of money upvoting his "Thx" comment, then why shouldn't I?" Once the rewards are being monopolized by people who are making money with little to no effort, then the genuine content creators will leave because they are not getting rewarded.
When genuine content creators leave, and investors come looking at Steem and see a pile of crap posts, meme's, and people getting big upvotes on effortless comments they will decide not to invest. Without people wanting to buy in to Steem the value of the Steem token goes down. This hurts across the board, whether you have 5 STEEM or 500,000 STEEM, if the value is Zero, your value is zero.
So long answer short, promoting GOOD content promotes a higher value of Steem, promoting crap content contributes to the downward pricing influence, and, in a complete doomsday scenario, kills the platform when Steem value drops to an effective Zero across the board.
Good Content - Good For Growth
Crap Content - Good for short term, get in and get out profits for people who don't care about the longevity of the platform.
I post twice a week with educated content. Those who resteem are the lazy ones. How I get return on investment is my business. It is like exercising a stock option. I curate lots of other work.
sometimes, the long answer is the most appropriate. This is one of those times. Thanks for your post bro!
Yes. This is true. It shouldn't be like that.
lolz half of this bitches below upvote their comments and still have the balls to even comment on this blog lolz...
I upvote 0.00% of everything I do, and nobody cares... So F this whole drama, I'm out of here.. lolz
that's good idea.
