My worst moment
When I received a flag and did not understand why. That red dot in the https://steemstats.com application broke my day. Then, I started to investigate and I found another user who had posted a post complaining about the "heather2000" account, the same one that had marked me. He followed up and could see that this account was distributing flag left and right without considering the content.
I did my own research and I noticed that all of us who had commented on that post were marked. I got very angry. I made a translation into Spanish of the article "palikari123".
I only had two weeks on the platform and I was disappointed to discover that here too, power is concentrated in a few hands and that small fish are subject to their whim.
There are certain things that I find absurd in Steemit, such as 68 people voting for you and only adding $ 0.05. I have used some bots, but either I do not know how to use them or they are simply a fraud. Every day I see wonderful posts with just $ 0.002 and other lousy ones with $ 300.
Since I discovered that all those upvote are bought, I breathe easy. My post does not receive votes not for bad, but because I do not have to pay Bots. But Steemit is in Beta, I guess these incongruities will adjust over time.
My best moment
Came a few days later. I found another post from an influential account complaining about the power abuse of the whales and, as the issue of the downvote was still recent, I commented on what had happened to me. The following week, I received a congratulatory message: I had won 5SBD for my comment.
It turns out that the author would reward the best and, I was the winner. The funny thing is that I did not know there would be a reward. It was wonderful news! I was able to solve some things in my house with that prize. In my country, that amount can be considered a small fortune.
This is a great story, i really like how people are overcoming this crisis and helping other thanks to Steemit!
Good luck :)
