It is difficult to avoid once you have celebrity status on social medias. The irony of this is the greatest success in the use of the internet is the networking of people and ideas yet it is not always rosey. Got to always be careful who you meet online a scam much as if it was in person. Thanks.

It's why I call social media "sociopathic media". All the crazies come out of the woodwork here. They can easily hide their agendas, and pull out the big guns when you are hooked. Parasites!

Absolutely agree, gotta be careful who we interact with here.

heeehee, great post. Seems to be very hot in Kölle.

Let's do it a bit different..

you are such a cool steemian, and I don't tell you all the nice guy stories, BUT, whats about a #Beer for your upvotes...

Just kidding, but feel invited to the weekly #BeerSaturday challenge.

What about that BeerSaturday challenge? Sounds fun.

It is fun since 60 weeks in a row.

There are 15 SBD in prizes and 4500 beercoins as well.

Have a look to my weekly post every Tuesday and add your post about beer as a comment until Sunday morning

Wherever you go, if money is involved you will have greed and manipulation, most people sell their values and how they are just to get a piece of that upvote action...

Never trust anyone but yourself, we are all humans and we all fail sometimes, the only person that you can control and make it so it won't ever fail you is yourself!

"Great post.Pls read my blog"
Really annoys me, especially when they don't upvote. But hey, lots of scammers are making some crypto crumbs and if your cost of living is low y, you made live of scamming...
I just block a shit ton of people.

great post..

Speaking of manipulation... the name sexxygirl, the photo of a half-naked women, and just to put the cherry on top of the cake the comment is "great post.." ahahah

Yeah, that's a typical low-effort manipulation act.

its funny and sad in the same time when a see post like this and then comments like sexxygirl and specially everytime a see new steemian giving them up vots.
on the video its a tough one when a get a comment am not sure if it fake or not. making it harder to get good relationships here on the platform. atlist its a steep learning curve

Agree mate, it will get even harder to uncover manipulators when you work together with them or when you consider them your friends.

I could wish the wallet was censored on the users total value of it. in a way but its almost impossible a guess.

@sexxygirl Hope you like your new below 25 rep! You're welcome :)

hahaha this isn't expert manipulation, this is just level 1 here in steemit :p

I think you can easily understand who most of them are just by looking at their comments or the private message that they sent you. Now let's move to the next leve in which as you said they use great comments only to seem nice to you.

If they ask you something in private that is related to ''help'' by voting them cast them aside. Later on if you aren't sure about someone you can easily check his posts, wallet and comments. From that i bet you can learn a lot for that person. Finally, if still you are not sure you can ''test'' them by not upvoting their comments or by upvoting some of their posts with extremely low % like 0,01$ and see how that goes.

You can easily flag some of them though or click not to see their comments. It won't solve the problem but it will give a message

You think I fall victim to this comment or direct message shit? Don't insult my intellect.

I am not that gullible, now you know.

(erased the first part to protect people)

i never said or implied something about your intellect. It was a general comment to something that 's basically happens to anyone having a bit of SP and then suggested some things that could be done. The ''you'' part is for the message to be more direct to the reader.

You are right about manipulation happening here, some people especially begin to insult others to make them angry and after start to complain about them, I am also very careful here, I try to not let my emotions win, but sometimes it's hard to control ourselves, I just block or mute such people,you can't imagine how many people are blocked by me right now. I completely understand you and I wish you never meet such manipulators.

I do very well letting my emotions out in real life and here on Steem. I am not restricting myself to be liked by others.

That video was funny as hell. The circle pic on your profile is that a pic of a dog faced gremlin. Please get off the crack pipe it's affecting your thought process. Hot girls manipulating you on Steem. What ever helps you sleep at night. ROFL

Says the one hiding his face and identity, little coward.

Cranky. Waaah must be time for your bottle. Keep up with the funny comedy videos. We all need a good laugh. ROFL
