RE: [Negotiations] Succession of Streemian.com - Reactivation
Downvoted for obscenely excessive self-upvoting using customer accounts. I am seeing $3800, roughly 4x the #2 item on Trending and which probably translates to nearly $10000 after factoring in SBD.
Please try to restrain yourself from treating this platform as your own private money spigot.
You should know better that I have been on the forefront about bringing this stuff to the communities attention a year ago when steemvoter did this every day. No one care, not even you. And now, when I make two posts in a week and let those upvote according to streemian's T&C, you claim I am misusing the steem reward pool? That doesn't add up .. IMHO
Two different situations, different amounts, different userbase, different platform and community maturity regarding standards of and purpose for rewarding, different voting rules, different community standards and expectations surrounding questionable (at best) self-voting, etc. Nor do I remember a single situation when a steemvoter announcement was more than 3x the reward level of the second highest post.
And even if the two situations were exactly the same, which they clearly are not, two wrongs don't make a right. Since you apparently think steemvoter was in the wrong, kindly hold yourself to at least the same standard. You are full of weak justifications today, huh?
That's between you and your users. The rest of the community does have to agree, and clearly did not on the other post (I was only personally responsible for downvoting it a little, the rest of the community joined in and stopped the rip off). Hopefully, this one meets a similar fate.
So, obviously having streemian run for free for 1.5+ years isn't worth 4k$? Noted.
Don't be obtuse. There are many ways you could address fair compensation with the community without doing what you chose to do. Grow a pair and acknowledge the mistake and at least try to do something about it. When the good guys start acting like idiots, there really is no hope for this platform.
Money gets to everyone, that or the fact people like to compare, if steemvoter can do it, so should i :D ...
I totally agree with you benjojo.
No one said that, but using 100% upvotes like that is just not cool. I would understand it if you used a 10% upvote. That seems reasonable, but might not put you on top of trending in seconds. Which is why I think you've made a bad PR decision. Very bad. Most active users who come across this will unvote, revoke permissions and possibly flag.
I was a fan of Streemian before I got Steemvoter. You just shot your brand and business in the proverbial leg, brother.
Well said
Nobody told you to do that. If you made bad businesses decisions, that's on you.
Or if you do want to beg for sympathy rewards, write a post that says so and see if it gets support. You never know.
And its not $4K either. $3800 "displayed reward" is more like $10000 after factoring in the SBD value. Please stop being disingenuous, you are only making yourself look worse.
Nor, BTW, is a one line whine worth $13 (actually more like $40 considering SBD). Downvoted.
Should we start flagging your other posts? Because clearly, you haven't learn your lesson
It also ran like a free service, which meant there were times it didn't work. No real support. What are you actually paying for?
Yeah, that about covers it.
Well said :) Completely nailed, the backlash is real here,
I don't think the point made it across tho, @chainsquad
What difference does it make it ran for free, should I ask for compensation from freelancer, not only but should I be entitled to a Professional's salary while I was freelancing ?!
You have a business, you run it however you like, don't blame others your business didn't run well or whatever, if you are going to use your user-base to upvote yourself make a announcement post about it, spend 5k to get the 10k return, leave some time for people to make up their minds,
or rather, just do what you have done, accept no responsibility, try to put the blame on someone else, say it's fine and everybody does it ... i mean come on, why should anyone support you if you just act out of the blue, using other people's property,
Downvoted another $13 (really $40) self vote on whining.
This place gets more ridiculous every day.
It does, doesn't it? Sad but true. Fortunately we have that lovely Trending page where we can see where the shit is happening.
This is pretty crazy but good thing is that we have self correction tools. He only gets away with it if people dont do anything.
Not really, the VP is already "stolen". Flagging it simply costs more.
The game theory of this system sucks.
I hope people go for honesty.
