RE: Steem N' Roses: My Response to the Attacks on the SBI Community as a Whole
I happened to be wandering around on Steem this evening and saw where you had sent me some SBI. And then I saw why. I am one of the little fish that has amazing original content (my own opinion of course) and is excited when I can get a post to have more than just a few dollars worth of upvotes on it. I have been gifted sbi in multiple contests and through community support in communities that support me because my content is original. I have sponsored my teenage homeschool children with sbi because i support them using this platform to create substantive original content instead of flaky shallow social media crap. Now one of the communities I am in is being attacked for using sbi by the mmmmk dude, but hes clearly just being a jerk to use his downvoting power to pick on groups like ours that are using sbi to reward original content and to help each other out. I mean, if he was only downvoting sbi being used as support for crap content, I could understand, but that's not the case. So,I was inspired by your post here and your actions. I did not send you any sbi @tristancarax because you have plenty, and I am such a small fish I could only spend 6 steem on sbi shares today. What I did instead was send 6 steem total to sponsor three steem users. Original content is of course a non-negotiable critera here, so it's not really how I decided who I could help. The first person I sponsored was @reinaldoverdu because I saw his comment on here and I know damn good and well anyone in Venezuela deserves as much help as the rest of the world can give them to survive the current state of affairs. I looked at his feed and I feel good about supporting him, paying it forward to him! I also sponsored @josevas217 because I like what he's doing. @toukirahmed was my third person to sponsor this evening. This user I have recently discovered and really love the photography. Bangladesh is a long way from me, but if a small act of kindness on the internet can bring a smile to someone across the planet, then I am in. Thanks for helping to encourage people to support each other and thanks for standing up to a bigger fish who is attacking the little fish.
I'm hoping people support others and not just me, as that would not gather the masses needed to overcome this minor annoyance. So, thank you for supporting others. They most likely deserve it.
I know for me that when I started getting an sbi vote, no matter has small it was, that made me happy that I was getting some support from somewhere. This place can seem pretty empty at first. After time, people are willing to give for someone else's work. Most of us don't make what we are worth, but the little amount that we do get may make our day and help us continue to improve day by day.
I'm through with talking directly with mmkk for the moment. He has shown his true colors and people like this need to crawl back under the rock the came from. They are a drain to everyone around them.
Thanks for your help. This is a group effort and will only succeed as one.
Hahahaha!!! The mmmmk asshole is now wasting his downvotes on my tiny little plankton posts, because I need punished for sponsoring other people on SBI I think have good content! Way to show me who's boss on Steem. Vote me down for my original, well thought out content because I support SBI helping the community.
Thanks for the idea and the work @tristacarax to stand up to bullies.
Yes, you buy for others, he punishes you. He was going after everyone but that didn't work out so ... yeah. "We have what we have here, which is a failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach so you get what we have here." - I've got Guns N' Roses going through my head again. haha
Teamworks makes this place work. Glad to have you around.
Now you are just fucking with me...because Cool Hand Luke is my all time favorite movie.
I like you even more now. :-)
What's really great is right this second I can hear G'n'R's Paradise City playing in @cassidydawn's room while she's crafting some amazing gift for someone. She's one of my @steemagers.
One last interesting thing to me ~ The bully mmmmk has 93 of his own SBI he's so against it...not to mention a ton of minnowbooster leases...maybe he should just give those to me since he hates "buying upvotes"!!!
8-)
MMKK got though because people bought them for him. He apparently HATES getting free money, which is really, really weird but whatever.
Yeah, right. Why is minnowbooster so great?
