Really sorry to hear you got put on such a list. This is why I have used Steemit less and less lately...the policing and misuse of self imposed authorities around here kind of scared me from taking this too serious now a days. Though I haven't had any personal hits on myself but seen quite a few people around me who legitly write their own material, create their own music, and do amazing art with their own two hands but yet had run ins with all this bot policing groups that it just burned me out to watch.
Personally I get it at first, we need original content but these things are running amuk here and people are kind of over enforcing their will on others here if they just simply don't like something. I came here to get out of the censorship rule of places like Facebook but sadly human nature appears to have this strange effect of bringing the same issues we run from to the places we go when we want freedom to express ourselves.
Hopefully this will get ironed out for you, but these are concerns this community better wise up to because a lot of us have already begun cashing out and lightly using this in the last couple months...I being one. I figure use this for fun and hopefully all these issues will correct themselves but I sadly have lost much hold to put too much heart into Steemit now a days. My thing is this, if its really about content then why has most of us who put soul into our work gone from $100 posts 2 months ago to be lucky enough to get $0.50 a week for 20 posts in a week out of the blue. And why all the harassing policing so strongly on areas even the bots and their owners are not 100% sure even if they are right that some rule has been broken and slapping people on lists to hurt their income for the great works they provide. Me, I am going to wait and see but this isn't feeling like the same Steemit anymore. Scammers, bots, and too many meme rip offs making a killing while quality content goes down in the dumps. Sad. Hang in there though, you got my support and a lot of others here, hopefully this will get corrected for you.
Hello, dear friend! Thank you very much for your message! I'm very, very pleased!
Thank you for supporting me! It is very important for me!
With great respect, and with love in heart to you!
I followed you! You have a good blog!
I really appreciate the support and follow, just followed you back. I hope this mess cheetah got you under will be corrected. Seems its not doing its job anymore and went rogue on us lol. In the meantime I will try to look out for your posts and hook you up with some upvoting support, don't have much now a days, been kind of powering down to put into Visio where I work now a days but hey every little bit helps right? Hang in there, you got a great talent and people should respect and contribute to that so Steemit continues on in the right way. All the best, really great to meet you.
I have no words!
You are very good!
I am pleased that I have such support! Thank you for giving me so much attention!
Crazy, cheetah is even down voting your comments? Just seen that on these. How is this working with cheetah now? If you get on their blacklist they down vote everything you say and do now on Steemit? That is getting a little abusive and out of hand. I can get flagging content that is theft or maybe downvoting something feelings is bad for the community but even downvoting a conversation is the way it runs? I just upvoted these comments of yours because that is a little unfair.
At this point it seems like we should put the cheetah bot on the blacklist!
You don't know the half of it. Just don't forget to downvote the bot if you see it being misused, like here as well.
Do not forgot to downvote the bot as well, it's probably the only way the creator will even respond is if you mess up his or her flow of money they are generating from the bots.
yes! =(
many thanks!
Having been using Steemit for much longer than you, it is sad to read this because it is what I fear most newer users will feel, I see this issues keep reappearing again and again and again. I hope you hang in here as well. These bots that some people are no doubt profiting from should at the very least be fixed or working before being released.
I agree, there should be a bit more of a quality control on these bots running around here. Like the one after people for upvoting their own posts, that thing went wild off the get go when it was put to public use and I think in small ways they maybe trying to use this for a personal belief to help but it appears to me not really doing good for the greater of Steemit. Actually I would have been on here last year but I got more into the marketing game for some crypto's during that time period and due to that had a hard time finding a moment to jump on board, kind of missed that boat but had a good run when I finally found a chance to get here this year. Started well but personally it tanked out on me after HF19 and just not really in use with this anymore much because of it. Kind of pop by in hopes with a few test run posts to see if things change but so far not really feasible to put the kind of effort I was originally into this as I originally done. I do hope those it turns around, still back the concept of Steemit but I think the influx of users coming in kind of hurt some of us after HF19 maybe.
Its all good though, I am back working in a crypto and I do a steady run for them on Steemit and that is doing well for them. Just hope these bots give people a break clearly not in the wrong, takes me back to the censorship issues on regular mainstream social media in a way and concerns me for those heavily into Steemit.
