This is your response? Excuse me Mr. @grumpycat, new Steemian here. I just joined. Have been doing a lot of promoting for Steemit. I feel weird about promoting this site while you just sit there like an asshole clapping and giving no explanation. I guess rich people don't need to give an explanation.
Do you mind? No? Okay. I'm curious if you've provided this GIF because the accusations or whatever stated above are true? "Bravo you've figured me out!" Some say you're doing something good that I fail to fully see but you're also dumping a lot of Steem on bittrex. Not sure if this helps and this can't be a cashing out due to panic since you just powered up last month.
I agree with your voting bots issue. I really do. At least the ridiculous ones. I've gotten some help form minnowsupport that has made my stay so far very worthy for as little that I generated.
My problem is that what you're doing, combined with other... ridiculous payouts floating around, I am literally seeing my payout decline throughout the week as a result. Upvotes weren't taken away, earnings were, since you are sucking up all the rewards.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that your...efforts...whether valid or not, are literally affecting minnows.
This can't be something you desire, since you just dumped a fat stack of doe into this back in November.
So can you please stop clapping with that face and explain something? You are playing your part well but even I can see that you're not trying to destroy the platform a month after powering up.
I know I am treading on thin ice by responding to you. I have a feeling that I'm talking to a wall. Hello GrumpyWall

This. That also happens when people buy votes. They selfishly move however much of the reward pool towards their post, and everyone else here takes a hit.
The fluctuating value of Steem can also make our posts rise and drop in value.
In your post you called someone a fascist. You did not agree with how they'd retaliate if someone spoke up. Understandable. I agree. Retaliation causes more harm than good.
You just flagged my account about 200 times. Your reason, in your words, was retaliation.
You also called me a hypocrite.
I offered a solution under the comment you left me on this post.
I look forward to handling this situation as professionals. It has been reported as abusive behavior. I believe both of us can come out of this on top.
The SP is almost equal. You actually have slightly more but have used up more vote power.
"You also called me a hypocrite."
You came to my post and plastered it with comments insulting me. You self voted to ensure exposure. I responded to you but never flagged. I came to your post and left a comment that was upvoted to ensure visibility and you flagged it.
You feel it's okay to self vote comments for visibility in posts for yourself but not for others to do so on yours and that makes you a hypocrite.
If you want the flags removed simply remove yours.
For the record: my self vote only lasted a few minutes. Other people voted. The vote removal was documented below and those actions and times will remain on the blockchain forever.
yeah, exactly. I did not consider the upvote bots causing this also. When I watch a payout go from $0.48 to $0.39 it is the direct result of the rewards pool being abused by people like grumpy cat and those with upvote bots. Just earlier today I had a $20,000 account message me on steem.chat saying they'll give me a 60% upvote for 1 sbd. Doing some quick math I was not going to get any return on his upvote. I told him to go do his job and curate real content instead of scamming .
The price of steem was actually steady as I watched my rewards get lower. In fact, I am pretty sure that if payouts are listed in SBD and it shows I'm getting $1.00 , the price of SBD can go to the moon and the payout is still 1 sbd to split between author and curators. That is, unless someone starts abusing the rewards pool. In which case, I will be able to watch the payout dwindle.
This post is a perfect example of junk taking money out of the hands of these new folks who just want to enjoy the place. Some start gathering steam, they see $1 beside their post. It's exciting! Things are looking up! Then they watch it drop. Maybe I might not notice a post drop a few dimes. They certainly will. I know from experience as well. I was them once.
I could easily force my posts to the top, on a daily basis. Easily. I don't. It doesn't feel right. It feels dirty.
Have a nice day. Hopefully this cat doesn't flag you for speaking. Good luck to you.

Your comparison is faulty since the bots vote on a timer.
In your post you called someone a fascist. You did not agree with how they'd retaliate if someone spoke up. Understandable. I agree. Retaliation causes more harm than good.

The ball is in your court. Have a good day.

You're not wrong. I'll definitely give you that.
