Hi Matt. How can quotes be original posts? I saw a very thought provoking quote and thought I should share it to my friends on Steemit. Vote selling by itself is abuse of Steemit. It is the one reason why Steemit is not getting acceptance among the general population. However if feel like blacklisting me, you are totally free to do so.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
You took a quote/meme and promoted it to like $90, come on now . . .
And yes of course, you're already on my blacklist. Bots are fine if not misused, but that's the issue. People will always abuse things, so that's why it's important to develop capabilities such as blacklisting specific users, etc to combat this.
Lol, as I write this, I got a notification that you flagged me, thanks!
I do not think I did anything wrong to be publicly announced as an abuser, my friend. Take a moment and think again before you judge people..
I'm judging you for botting a quote to $90 on the trending page. You've been here long enough to understand that, that is going to get attention for abuse. What did you expect? To go unnoticed?
I look at your steem power and I now get the essence of the quote I have posted. Peace.
Wow, how "deep," of you. You should get the essence of the quote, because you're trying to destroy something that aims to fix the issue that you're trying to talk about.
But go on, try to continue to defend yourself gaming this system out of greed. Yes, I have a lot of SP, and I use it wisely. And I try to make it be in play in the correct way.
Peace, for sure. But it isn't going to be had as long as people like to lie, cheat, and steal. Plagiarism included.
Just two points amidst peace
I agree with everything else you said. And I like you because you are a genuine supporter of Steemit.
Long story short, I was hurt when I was mentioned in your post alongside some random spammer.
Come on, now.
Rebuttals to your points:
Sharing great quotes from great human beings DOESN'T require you to pay yourself enormous amounts of money. Why not share it with payout declined? Share it with no personal upvote? Share it with 100% power up? Share it with just your own upvote? But no, you need to absorb more shares to get your point across, right? (that was sarcasm) I'm being blunt to get to the point. If you are learning, I apologize, but it seems as though you've been around quite some time.
Publicly announcing an abuser as an example is perfectly fine in my eyes. Go flag my post in disagreement and air your grievances. Maybe we can come to an agreement and understanding? Maybe I will remove your name? Your name only came up by chance. When doing my rounds on what my account has voted for while I was idle, your name appeared, so it was an example.
There is no shame in learning. There is shame in pretending not to learn.
