RE: How am i doing with the free sbd/steem giveaways? Free sbd/steem
I appreciate your input @nnarvaez and i considered what you wrote with much thought! I really dont think my couple buck posts are really damaging the reward pool. If you look at alot of my previous posts/articles i was making just as much from my posts then as i am now, because i had people already automatically upvoting me through their steemvoter,etc... my content may have alot to be desired sometimes, but it is content and im not spamming my posts with the same exact thing. So in the same since are you not doing the same thing by telling people that use your hashtag to upvote them and help them.... it didnt even say anything about it being quality content as you stated in the post you provided on your blog stating that it was to be used for quality content and not being a part of these voting rings? So if this is your philosophy then im really curious to know what you think about the upvoting bots and to the people that have thousands in steem power and upvote themself, thus not even having to have quality content either... is this a problem too? Im sure they dont think so either and they are the ones that basically run the show. I think there are alot of problems that may need to be addressed but until then i will keep providing my service to the minnows just like you will provide your service by upvoting using your hastag. upvote bots will continue to provide their service and some of those whales will continue to upvote their own posts that may not have quality content also! food for thought thanks @ralph-rennoldson
Hi @ralph-rennoldson
I apologize to hi-jack your post, but i see these things sprouting everywhere and what i meant by my reply was to actually inform the people where that "free money is coming from".
Every 0.001 STEEM casted in vote rings reduces the money available to reward good content.
Of course i didn't power up to promote my hashtag. I created the hashtag to help the Spanish speaking community fight the tyranny of a known writer (the one that cannot be mentioned).
You ask in the first paragraph what we think of it. that is the reason I dared to tell you :)
I never intended to end up using my VP for something like this but it occurred to me that if I started it with my meager means some whales might follow suit and help me because steemit is a place we are building together.
There are the good whales and the not so good ones.
I try to get in touch with the good ones and ignore the others.
Steemit is the anarchist dream realm things should balance themselves but that does not happen if we don't do our part.
I understand you are trying to do good and help people don't get discouraged...
I am trying to do the same.
You have your ways I have mine, we both have a common goal: Make the time we spend here worth it.
I thank you for taking the time to reply.
