They trained me to do so. I used to buy votes right away on posts then they started flagging me and others for doing that. You see these flaggers actually created the issue of people buying votes on the last day because they were flagging anyone who bought votes at all.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Worry not, you're on my watch-list, your promoted shitposts will get flagged during the last 12h anyway.
"Worry not, you're on my watch-list"
Yeah, that much is obvious. Apparently you don't like your hypocrisy pointed out.
Should I point yours out?
You again? Didn't you request I not continue to communicate with you?
Several times. Actions speak louder than words though... and I'll just leave it at that.
When you point your finger, take a look. You have three pointing straight back at you.
Hey @grumpycat - I neither know you or @contentjunkie - I am just a guy who thinks your "fight" should stop - That's why I have a question for you! Would you be open to a deal?
@contentjunkie's part:
As of the start of the deal (better as of now) he stops the use of any booster for ten days
After the ten days, he only uses boosters on the first two days of a post
@grumpycat's part:
You don't flag him as long as he is following what I set for him above - it should be according to your whitelisting of boosters, even better (only 2 days instead of 3.5)
Would that be an option for you? And for you @contentjunkie?
No
May I ask why?
Lol, don't negotiate with terrorists
watch-list:
Rolex / Tudor.
Audemars Piguet.
Breitling.
Frederique Constant / Alpina.
ContentJunkie
Chanel.
Chopard.
Patek Phillipe.
Hermes.

this is so weird!
You both claim the other's actions to cause your own while you both also accuse each other of acting out of nothing but greed?!
I guess that means both of you are questionable?!
No offense, I usually stay out of politics and this whole situation is way above me. I know I am not happy with all the boosted posts in hot/trending as it completely skews the organic discovery of quality content. I also know that the nature of the blockchain intrinsically allows for such economic models, though... I am not a fan of profit-motive driven social interactions but have to resort to vote buying myself to not stay "behind the curve"...
In short, I struggle to define what's right and what's wrong here but the irony of the situation doesn't escape me!
exactly, with all the fighting going on, minnows like me are getting squeezed... should I buy votes or should I not buy votes? I am so so confused
Do you see boosters as a pure method of making profit or as a tool to gain visibility?
Both profit and exposure. I've bought into rounds and paid more than I received plenty of times and I continue to do so for the extra followers gained from exposure and the rep from the upvotes. Although rep points dont actually do much.
I actually made more profit by promoting my posts early, that is until they started flagging vote buyers. Vote buyers adjusted and started buying on the last day hoping the flaggers wouldn't have time to hit them up.
Maybe it would help to show good will, stop using it on the last hours for 1-2 weeks, maybe stop for 1-2 weeks in general. Than just use it in the first 1-2 days and see if you get flagged again ;)
@Grumpycat would probably like that so I won't do it. Instead I'll just use him as inspiration for content and continue to expose his hypocrisy.
He's doing far more harm to Steem on a massive scale. More so than vote buyers ever could. At least vote buyers submit posts and try. He just upvotes hidden comment replies that are completely meritless.
