RE: 1 weird trick to turn your dog vegan

in #vegan7 years ago

@torico I am still learning and exploring this space. ’upbotting’ as you call it is one way to leapfrog past the thousands of garbage posts and get in front of people’s eyes. I don’t necessarily agree with it but I also don’t agree with taxes, however, when it’s the way things work I am willing to play. ‘Upbotting’ can actually cost more than it rewards, but if it puts attention on a post that would otherwise moulder, it’s worth it. I am experimenting to learn more about the rules of the game, as it were.

If I could I would do away with the bots. But I can’t, and as the saying goes, ‘It’s a crooked game, but it’s the only game in town’.

And by the way, that post I made about the exploited loophole - the right person(s) was eventually reached and managed to prevent something like 4,000 SBD from being sucked from the system. I couldn’t have done it by myself and that post was one of several pathways attempted to find the help needed. I didn’t describe the abuse because it is too easily replicated and I didn’t want to broadcast the method.

Sort:  

its not the way things work for many people because they either cannot afford it (think third world uneducated people struggling to survive who need whatever they can get to survive) or don't feel it's ethically fair.

there are systems in place to get noticed. curations, servers who support their members with upvotes. so basically what you are saying is your work is so superior to other people that might be just as good at writing, but somehow you deserve more reward.

not more notice, because you aren't getting that many more views because you haven't done the work of creating a following by networking and curating.

it's very much like pushing drugs or committing a crime. yes, you can get away with it, but is it morally right? i don't care that you closed some loophole. you do that cause you are a good person and yes, well done. but it doesn't mean you then turn around and jack the system yourself. it's only a crooked system if you play that game. stop siding with the politicians.
