Doing stupid things for a vote...
For those who don't know me on Steemit, there was a time where I tried to write funny stories. For different reasons, I found it difficult to continue with my blog, and little by little I stopped writing. Now, that I have more time, I decided to take up my writings and when I came back, I found this...
Far away were the times, where to get a vote you had to interact, create communities and pray, that a whale take pity on your situation. At that time, the vote of a whale was like an orgasm. I updated the blog every 15 seconds, imploring that click of someone with a lot of SP.
For those who don't know, by March of 2017, the Steem had a value of $0.23. Those that we published at that time, we were the real passionate of this platform, because we were in the worst moments of Steemit. Only a few benefited, and most of us published for pure pleasure. Although, there was always the illusion that a whale came across our post, and when that happened, it was night of celebrations...

For this and seeing the current moment in which we are, I felt with certain rights and decided not to fall into the influence of these bots to get votes. I had something to invent, to avoid having to pay and at the same time, to have visibility. Sure of my decision, I started a campaign to attract the votes of these bots, without having to pay anything.
The first bot that I wrote was to @appreciator:
My first attempt, it was not productive. As you can see, this was the result of my message...
With my illusion intact, I decided to continue with my plan. And I wrote to @postpromoter:
A total failure my second attempt, it seems that these bots are not looking for love and are only interested in money. The result was this...
They were not going to beat me, I was just starting and I had to insist to achieve my goal. I wrote to @upme:
It didn't work either, and little by little I was feeling defeated. I wasn't having the results I expected, but well...
I had my last attempt with @buildawhale:
As you can imagine, it didn't work. So, for the failure of my experiment, I have made a second decision: I'm not happy, with having in my post, only comments from my mother, such as:
Beautiful post, my dear son. I'm proud of you, you are the sun that floods my life...
Fuck it! I will pay for bots and thus claim the success and glory that I deserve. See you on the moon, guys!
lol, you might get flagged. :D

Note: When turning shit around, you might just turn 360 and shit just gets worse D:
Tinchooooo, some posts like these is what is missed in steemit, a little bit of humor is basic!!
Orgiessssssss for votingggg hahaha
Haha, thank you dear manu. I'm glad you liked it and that's what I notice in the trending. There is not a single funny post, so I take advantage of the opportunity: D
I am having the hardest time finding people who actually write funny stuff, because thats what I do. But now its just a bunch of people putting up memes and giphs. I want to hear embarrassing stories and hilarious moments that people ran into!
Why did we actually never do that at Steemfest...?
Or was I just at the wrong hotel? :-D
After this comment your hotel will always be the right one
haha, you bet
wrong hotel
lol - I knew it!!
SF3? I´m innnn and I´m sure tincho as well :-)
It's gonna be la bomba :-D
I like him humor it very is funny.
Tincho's post was the funniest one I had read in these past two weeks!
Wow, I admire your dedication to humor :) Because since you sent ...
buildawhale 50 SBD
postpromoter 50 SBD
upme 50 SBD
appreciator 50 SBD
...it's quite a costly joke :) But yeah that was a funny read :)
Thanks for sharing truly Speaking a lot of people still do that i myself have done it , its depressing to post something of value and you get no upvotes
oh.. pls no... It made my day lol 😁
So what you are saying is you are buying upvote with bots..
haha
yeah i have the same feeling except paying the bots is exactly that pay 5 SBD and receive a 4.75 SBD vote how do you get ahead? Or your really lucky:)))
quit it with the thumbs
The appreciator should have appreciated your persistency :D , and postpromoter should not have ignored your wonderful offer :P
Nice, funny post, lol
Now serious: I have stopped using these bots; I may use them occasionally, however. I found that the ebst time to use a bot is when the price of Steem is rising. That is when you would profit most from the bot; Also, only a handful of bots are good, especially, the one you mentioned.
To the Moon!!!...:)...
Haha that is so funny ! Selling your sister was epic ! 😂😂😂
But it is damn true . Hope those whales visit us too thou 😊😊😊
I'm glad you liked it! My idea was to put a little humor to all this. Have a good day!
All too funny, yeah always seems like a hit or miss, and sometimes having a guaranteed vote that has some pull behind it can be helpful!
Hello friend, I started in June of 2017 and I can say that it is as you say, in fact only twice I got whale votes. Anyway, everything in life changes and I think we have to adapt as Darwin Hahaha said. Upvoted, very good post.
We agree, Darwin was always right, we will have to adapt :p
Bots kind of defeat the purpose of Steemit... It was supposed to be a way to get paid for quality content. If this goes on, the price will drop.
bots have turned black hat gaming the system into a mainstream accepted practice....
But the reality is it essentially turning SteamIt into a spin zone of garbage for people mostly promoting cryptocurrency.
I have an 3 part article talking about this and other issues...
Take a look at part 1:

Your on your way up
I just sprinkled a whole bunch of upvotes with Steampower behind on alot of these replies....
I'm not a whale just a grouper working his way up to the food chain!
Hahaha thats funny
