Thank you for sharing! :)
I must admit that i dont know so much about this, but i have been sceptical enough to not use any of the "service" neither whale or cheetah is trying to make me use.
But when it comes to upvoting my own posts, i did not know that was something selfish.
I thought i only gave from my self to my post, to help that post become more visible.
(kind of like changing part of my voting power over to my own post..)
But i have only been here for 14 days, and the system is so complicated that it will probably take something like 3 months before i finally start to understand most of it.
Many have tried to explain.
But since they often explain the same thing in completely different ways, i get comfused.
There is also some few that i know for sure really know it.
But they know it so well that they no longer are able to explain it to those who know nothing.. lol
They take for granted that i know the basic..
And often they want to tell me about everything at once, and then my simple brain just get overloaded, and i miss half of it, and probably misunderstand half of the other part.. lol
Hope you have a great time when u read this :)
It is OK to upvote yourself when your vote is only worth a few cents. The whales votes are worth several dollars each, and when they upvote it cleans out the steem pool generated for that day leaving a few pennies for the rest of us to split. Upvote yourself at will. I just upvoted you too.
But if the whales hadn't bought into steem and powered it up then reward pool would be pennies for everyone anyway.
There is set amount of steembucks that get generated every day. That is where the upvote money comes from. When your vote has low value, voting has minimal impact on the overall pool. When your vote is worth a lot, it is a drain on that pool. By the time your posts are generating lots of upvotes from other people. it is just sort of poor taste to keep upvoting yourself. This is not a hard rule or even something I made up, it is what I have gathered listening to others here.
Finally someone who gets it.
Thank you :) :)
you are wright indeed it took me about three months to grasp the data we working with here.
What service is cheetah trying to make you use?
to be honest i am not sure.
cheetah sent me a message starting by saying "Hi, i am a robot" and from that second i was no longer interested, and then tried to direct me to another side that was supposed to be about similar things..
But i am not here for the money.
So i am not so very interested in bot programs and so.
I want actual people to read what i write.
I have written the same kind of stuff for free on facebook for something like 10 years.. :)
Of course i would love if i in the long run also got a little money from it too, but that is just a bonus if that happend.
I try to mostly write quality posts, and often it is a lot of work behind some of those posts.
I am also a member of a facebook group where people in that group upvote each others posts.
And some times, even if they upvote, i kind of get a little dissapointed when i see in their comment that they have not even read it before they gave the upvote or the comment, because it is the same comment they give on all posts they comment.. ;)
I actually like it better when i get a upvote that give absolutely nothing at all, but when i can see on the comment that the person who gave the upvote actually have read it and liked it. :)
I like that much better then if i got a upvote worth 2 dollar, and a robot comment/comercial together with it.. ;)
Cheetah fights plagiarism... if you see a cheetah message it means the text of the article you are reading is already posted somewhere else on the internet, specifically on the link that cheetah provides.
I have muted cheetah.
But this is the post where it sent me a link in.
the robot did not say it was plagiarism, but that it was some place that wrote about similar things.
I have been writing about this for at least 5 years on internet.
And because of that (and because many other also have started to write about it.
This year we could for the first time read about it as a true thing on Wikipedia too.
Before that about 2 years ago, it only said in Wikipedia that it was something crazy people talked about.. ;)
And when we tried to tell the truth in Wikipedia too, it was edited away the same day... ;)
If someone find a article that is even close to this on internet, i will say it most probably is a copy of my post.
And since the message is the most important for me, that is ok.
I would be happy if i got 5 million plagiats for this exact post.. ;)
I would even pay for it.. lol
But this is 100% my post and my words.
But of course, when you shall tell about certain truths, there is something that have to be the same in all posts about that same truth.
If a Jew for example shall help other jews to say that 6 million Jews was killed, they can not start to say it was 7 millions, just to not copy the first one that said 6 million.. ;)

All it does is point out a post or parts of it have been taken word for word from another post somewhere on the internet. It doesn't mean its plagiarism because it could in fact be your own work, but that doesn't negate the fact that the writing appeared somewhere else before steemit.
That is very true.
because when i started at steemit, the very first thing i did was to copy many of my own articles on facebook over to steemit.
I did not see any point in writing it all over since my intention was to write exact the same :)
But it DOES give people who see it the impression that i am just a plagiat, and since i have done so extremely much research and put so much work in to it and finally wrote a article about it in a way i think most people will understand,
i dont like to get any indications that it is a copy from someone else. ;)
But i am thankfull for your information anyway.
I still like to keep cheetah muted, in case someone will think my post is a plagiat because cheetah give a strong indication that it is.. ;)
And many many people on facebook have shared this post i have written.
That is one of the reasons we can read about Khazaria in Wikipedia to day. :)
Never giving up telling the truth some times actually help. :) :)
No worries, just giving you the info. For the record though, just because you have cheetah muted that doesn't mean everyone else cant see the post still. If you mute someone their posts only become invisible to you, not to the rest of steemit.
You seem to me like a genuine poster here.
Cheetah usually does a blessed job.
To avoid it, or at least to appease its creator whom might undo its comments which do not add credibility to your posts, you should paste the URL of any original copy of your copied post on Steemit.
Then, if cheetah or steemcleaners alarm or flag your post, you might have some moral ammunition to prevent or undo their actions.
