What? You didn't know that you are paying something for every bidbot vote sold?
I bet you didn't know that every crap post bidbotted to the trending page costs you money.
It does.
Every time somebody with alot of stake votes on a post it takes rewards from every other vote with less stake.
When a whale votes, everybody else loses.
Its just how the math works.
If everybody with more than 1000mv stopped voting everybody else's votes would more than double.
The votes you get from your 6 friends would have value rather than round down.
Exactly how much remains to be seen, because stinc hurried up and hardforked before we could know the truth.
We had some responsible whales step up and stop the bullies' abuse of the reward pool.
I won't name them, they haven't done much for us lately.
But you should know stinc chose the bullies over mass adoption, and continue to do so today.
Every time you pay one to vote your post you make our disadvantage that much worse.
Don't expect to hear that from anybody else, not many here brave enough to speak truth to power.
Not many of us are willing to put the good of us all ahead of our own no effort rewards from the rewards pool
You know how we know it's a crap post?
Because nobody in the community voted on it.
Its a clue when nobody gaf about your content.
You know how we know bidbots owners put their wallet ahead of the good of steem?
Because they know the truth of what I am saying, discussed it amongst themselves, said f' us, 'its their stake', and continue to vote bs to the trending page.
If they cared, they would require rewards to be declined.
Then they would be selling advertising at its true cost rather than forcing a subsidy out of the rest of us.
The author doesn't have a following, that is why he is using a bully's advantage in the math to get seen.
If he had been here long enough to build a following, he wouldn't need the bully's 'service'.
If his post wasn't crap, somebody would have picked him up for curation.
@curie pays for good content.
Their curators compete to find 'the best' content first.
It isn't easy to make it on Steem.
It shouldn't be easy.
Free money never is.
If you want to make it here you got to do the work.
Put out 'good' content.
Make engaging comments on the posts of others.
Don't hire bullies to give you fake acclaim.
Those of us that know, and care, will remember who you are, and that you didn't.
Get to know your fellow steemizens.
Get your friends to join, buy some stake, and vote your posts, but only if they are 'good'!
We are all in this game together, its time we started acting like it.
Dolphins, get out there and find good content that needs more rewards.
Orcas, flag the abuse.
Whales sell your stake, take your profits.
It may be a while before your advantage in the math stops crushing the little guys.
Stop bullying us, now.
If you want to wait until we grow enough dolphins and orcas that you don't crush us, that's fine.
Put out some 'good' content and maybe we will vote it.
But please stop acting in only your own self interests.
Nobody is going to buy into the coin while you are the only ones that can profit from it.
